Today’s toy is another Hoppy the bunny I designed and crocheted. I am still working on the pattern for the Huggable Heart, so I haven’t started the Hoppy pattern yet. Video is needed for Hoppy since I had different numbers for where to place the shaping of the face with different yarn. This time, I…
Today’s toy is an octopus. I am using acrylic minis and sometimes I run out before finishing a toy, so with the octopus, I crocheted the body in blue, the belly in pink, and the tentacles in purple. I shared a picture with family and got no response. It is cute! This toy didn’t have…
Today’s toy is a bear in a honey pot. I have a pin and wanted to create a toy that resembled it. I used leftovers from my temperature blanket of 2023, Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Soft Secret in honey and cocoa. I put floral stones in the bottom for weight. Keeping this toy…
Today’s toy is Hoppy the bunny. I woke up very early one day this week and decided to design a bunny that had no stuffing. There are many floppy toys out there and I know someone would appreciate no stuffing. Since I still used a tight gauge, the toy does sit up on its own….
Today’s toy is Bonnie, an experiment in different shapes in a toy. I crocheted her with large feet and stubby legs. There are even toes! She has a barrel body, with her head attached. A foam roller was placed in her neck for stability. I played around with the ears and gave her three loops…
When I made the land turtle (https://craftingintx.com/2024/01/january-15-land-turtle/), my husband asked why it took me so long to crochet a turtle. Today, I show you the sea turtle. I prefer sea turtles to land turtles. They are so graceful. I know I used the wrong coloring, but my favorite color is green. This design has too…
Today’s toy is a snake requested by Aunt Kate. I like to crochet snakes with self-striping yarn, but I always make the tongue in red. pipe cleaners were used and I only stuffed the head so I could get the diamonds shape for the eyes. A few more stitches were added around at the tail,…
Today’s toy is Huggable heart. I designed this heart. Holding two strands of Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Soft Secret for the heart and Walmart’s Mainstays Chenille Chunky for the arms and legs. Using a 4 mm hook for the heart and 6.5 mm hook for the arms and legs. I will have the pattern soon.
I had some green yarn in three colors and I had the mustard color, so I decided to try making a turtle. I started with the shell, increased to 30 and then increased to 36 in front loop only, then two rounds sc, then the crab stitch. Then I picked up for the belly of…
Today’s toy is a flamingo. By Phillip Ha. I used Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee Soft Secret in soft pink and lemon. I am enjoying using a 4 mm hook holding the yarn double. It makes a nice sized toy and I think one strand would have too much drape. This is leftover yarn from my…
