I called this one a clown doll it is a pattern that I bought a couple of years ago. I wish it was larger and I had made another one like this one before. The pattern is easy to follow is pretty good to follow she has photo instructions. I think she is too short like me lol. I could have added more straight rows in the middles somewhere. If you look on pinterest you can find this doll and the lady who designed it,cause I can't remember exactly her name. I used different colour purples to use up some of my yarns. No wires so it will be safe for kids if you sew this doll properly.

Amigurumi doll
This time I followed a lady on you tube to make this doll. She called it bag charm doll or something within those words. I think she is Suwanna craft's room. She is a cute doll she made it out of cotton so her doll would be smaller then mine. I made mine out of acrylic yarn. Her hair is the first time I did it this way but no harm in trying new technics. I sometimes rather follow the pattern it is quicker then you tube. I decreased one row in her shoe I like it that way and a row of increase in her hat I thought it was coming out too big and it would have been. I also made different trim on the skirt then hers. In this doll I learnt how to attach her hair. I didn't attach the hat to the head. Anyway good luck with yours if you have a go
Amigurumi Unicorn
Very popular these days for people to buy unicorn but I made one not too thrilled about it. I liked the sleeping unicorn, it is a free pattern. I am hard on myself I think it is not perfect. The feet might not be perfectly positioned and will annoy me. I have more white wool which I might make another look of a unicorn.I will have to find another free pattern. It is really good way to use some co,oured scraps of yarn for the mane and tail. I can't seem to find a toy big enough for a girl or boy to cuddle up they are always very small.
Tiny cat (amigurumi)
Hi I came across to this cute cat and I was wondering how small it was. You will never know that till you make it so I did mine. I expected it to be smaller but it is ok I guess. It measures 6 inches. I used different yarn I think it is called mohair I was given this yarn. A good way to use mohair. I found myself making toys again. I hate the sewing part only because sometimes the legs and hands don' t come attached the way you want them to. Toys are fun to make when you see them all done it is a good achievement. It is like art when you finish painting the piece and see the final result. It is always hard to part from them I think because I put so much care, love into them. I brushed it to look like this not good for kids as it has a small button. Be always aware of those little things.

My first amigurumi coloured doll
I never made a coloured doll as I don't know what colour they use. One of my daughter said I should have used black hair oh well I use what I have lol. It is also my pattern but I didn't write it down yes I'm naughty. I tried to embroider the eyes not my best job but it happens to us every now and then. There is no sewing anywhere which I like I have to try again and research a little. My weakness is that I never plan that is why I like to make from patterns I would know how they will turn up. Many times I am please with the result. Let someone else do the hard work eh! anyway I will show you what I will do next time, who knows what I will make. Usually on Sundays, I searched for stuff because I don't crochet on Sundays.
My Original crochet Fedora hat
Finally, I made a crochet pattern of a fedora hat. I still need to see if the pattern works as I wrote it all today. I will start selling it on etsy if all goes well if I am allowed to do so. I made a fedora hat on you tube and I didn 't like it as much so I tried to make my own. I am happy with the result and it only needs little improvement and should be fine. I would like to starch it so it keeps the shape but I think it will not be as warm. My wish was to make a pattern of something I always quit half way writing it down but this time I kept going, so glad I did . I still don' t know yet how to make different sizes. This suits boys and girls with measurements of 56 centimeters. It will fit my oldest grandson.
Crochet lovely squares
I saw these lovely squares and I was curious how they are made. I tried the most simple ones first but then I did complicated ones. I didn't work these from patterns but I followed this lady on you tube. If you use nice colours they will look great. I need to make few more then I will join them into a blanket. I love the colours I used, I tried to use all the bits of yarn I have. I can never finish them lol. First I did the blue and since I didn't find it too hard I did the second one. I love the third, the colours and the pattern are amazing. The fourth is complicated more it looks nice but I won't do it again. I like the fifth I will do that again. Won't do the first one either too blue lol. I think you agree with me the third looks great. I will do another one like it. There is another square I want to try but I think it is bigger then these squares. I added the lady that makes these squares give it a go.
Amigurumi sleeping doggy
Hi everyone, I search for things to make and I came across this dog. I love how it came I might make another one beige colour. It is this free pattern It is not very big I wish it was though it would be nice to cuddle. Not very hard to make either but lots of sewing. Easy enough pattern for people who can crochet. Good luck with it, here is mine. My youngest daughter like her toys to be made from cotton not acrylic yarn so she might not take this one.It is a lovely, safe, handmade toy for your little one. There are no wires or safety eyes which they can come apart at times. Lately, I do embroider the eyes.
