Today’s toy is a crocheted mallard duck. The pattern is good luck duck by Sweet Softies. The main pattern is in white or yellow and I have made a white one, but there is a picture of the option to use colors for the mallard duck. I used green for the head and switched to…
Today I crocheted a toy. I started making a triangle toy that I saw on a podcast. I wanted it to have hair and the triangle shape. Of course it came out as a cone shape. I had to change colors because I was working with minis and as I changed to the third color…
Today I have a pig, crocheted and designed by me. I used acrylic yarn that was in a pack of minis from Amazon. Since there wasn’t enough to do the entire toy with just one color, I striped two shades of pink. I started with a circle and then I crocheted what I thought were…
Today, I am showing the stingray I knitted. I followed a picture of a crochet stingray by stringy ding ding. She gives you the pattern when you sign up for the newsletter. My hands were hurting so I decided to knit the toy instead. Hopefully I will write up the pattern. I did crochet the…
Today I show my bear. I designed it, mostly just experimenting. I am using that same yarn, charisma 10 ply Aran. I started with two icords and then knitted the body, decreased and then increased again for the head. I added the crocheted arms and ears. I used black yarn to cinch a nose on…
a very whimsical bunny by Sayjai Thawornsupacharoen. I used the same yarn I have been using, the Charisma 10 ply Aran. I put pipe cleaners into the ears, but didn’t stuff them. This pattern is for crochet, but I modified it for knitting. That’s why it is shorter. I need to knit more rounds next…
Today, I crocheted the Northern Cardinal Keychain, by Suzanne Boulet. I use Paton’s chunky, scraps I had. Love the bright red color and stitch definition. I like that the beak and tail are crocheted on and not separate pieces. Love the simple but beautiful wings. I added the feet, just ch 7, slip in second…
Today’s pattern is Octopus Comforter by Donna Wilkins. I used this variegated yarn that I have had for about 20 years. I have made many things with the yarn and have ripped out every one of them because I just didn’t like it. I love the colors in the skein, but I do not like…
Today’s toy is the whale from The Copper Crochet Pot. It is a free download on Ravelry. Simple in its construction making the fins first. I like the eye detail. I just added black yarn for the eyes since this toy will be donated. Today I used a light box to take the picture. It…
Today I used the pattern by Little Crochet Farm https://littlecrochetfarm.com/chubby-valentine-bear-free-amigurumi-pattern/ I used Mira Handcrafts minis that my husband bought on Amazon. I stuffed it with yarn ends from other projects. I modified the pattern due to using thicker yarn. I only increased to 30 on the body, did 15 rounds straight. I decreased the other…
