Today’s toy is a crocheted whale. Design by NaimanovaToys. Using Bernat blanket and a 6 mm hook, this was a make to use the yarn up from making the blanket. I thought I would include it with the bunny lovey after someone purchases it. Great pattern. Using the larger hook made the toy very squishy…

Today’s toy is a crocheted bunny lovey. Design by Crochet 365 Knit Too. Using Bernat blanket and a 6 mm hook, I worked on this at my MIL house. The blanket was made in two days and the bunny the third day. I like that I made the ears in the blanket color, but next…

Today’s item is a crocheted pumpkin. Design by CraftinginTx. Using Bernat blanket, Lion Brand Heartland, and a 5.5 mm hook, I am trying to use up this yarn. I love the plush pumpkins. The brown stem is the perfect color. It’s in my Etsy shop, https://www.etsy.com/listing/1800847141/handmade-crocheted-multi-colored-pumpkin?click_key=b32a28f2da1c1a6b410d7395dcb9e13046d3ef60%3A1800847141&click_sum=7a821e89&ref=shop_home_active_11

Today’s item is a crocheted stuffed pumpkin. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket and a 6 mm hook, surprisingly I could use the bigger hook and no stuffing shows through. I recall the Christmas bear I made and the stuffing shows through on the legs. I should have gone down a hook size or doubled…

Today’s toy is a crocheted candy holder in the shape of an eyeball. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket yarn and a 4.5 mm hook, this looks like an eye. Black, then purple, then white. I probably won’t make many of these. I added red on the last round with spike stitches to represent veins.

Today’s toy is a crocheted candy holder in the shape of a witch’s hat. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this is quite simple. Except for the challenging 4 sc in the first round, all other rounds are simple. I am trying out different ways to create the cone shape…

Today’s toy is a crocheted candy holder in the shape of the lovable monster from the movies. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this is much better and quicker to make than the previous version. I drew on the face in the older one with a sharpie so this version…

Today’s toy is a crocheted candy holder. Design by Craftingintx. Using Bernat blanket and a 4.5 mm hook, this is a striped cat in the colors of candy corn. I used embroidery floss for the face. Using my pattern for the black cat, I started with orange and finished in yellow. Then I added white…

Today’s toy is a crocheted ear of corn with a face. Design by Joey Diehl. Using Bernat blanket, Big Twist, and a 4.5 mm hook, this was fun to make, but needed adjustment. I think it was the different textures of yarn, but the corn didn’t fit into the husk. Super cute if you are…
