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

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. 

Christmas amigurumi wreath

I Made this beautiful amigurumi wreath with Christmas colours. I made one for my daughter that I was giving her on Christmas day but I ended up giving it to her early. I since made two other ones for my sister. I saw one on pinterest which I liked then I watched on youtube to see how they are done.  I used a foam ring and I made large santa big enough to fit in the middle. I never learn I should have wrote the pattern down the first time. I also did the hat as I go and the balls at the buttom. You will never know if you have enough or if you need smaller or larger ones. I did few sizes and then I stuck them with glue cheating lol but I sewed Santa. I also did a cord at the back so you can hang it from but it you might need a bigger hook you can always add a ribbon to it. I used Christmas colours yarn. You will need about two white, one red  and one green plus the foam and stuffing if you like to try this out.

Owl Baby Cocoons

I came across these handmade crochet owl baby cocoons which I never made before. I always wanted to try this crocodile stitch. I found a video on youtube which I think it was Spanish and I followed her. I love it so much that I am making the fourth one, every time I change something like more scales if you like to call them that. I made my own design on the hat. They look so nice when they are finished that my two married daughters wants to keep them all. I also made a flower cocoon inspired by a couple that I saw. These are ideal for photo shoots. Any combination of colours will look good on these. I tried 8 ply yarn and 5 ply I think the latter is the best. Here are the two alike with different colour yarn.

Baby's shorts and hat

Hi guys, I was quick to come up with something this time. I crocheted a short and a hat for my little grandson. I checked on some patterns and videos and I managed to make a set over night. I wanted it to be like a sailor suit. I didn't manage to make a top though if I find a pattern I can easily make one. I like white with dark blue trimmings. I would have added an anchor but my daughter didn't like it. It is more like a costume so she can take a baby photo in them. Here is a photo of them sorry no patterns.

Elf doll

Trying to finish what I started here is my finished elf doll. When I am not satisfied up to my standard I usually not complete it. This is my weakness but I am trying to finish things so I can start on new project. I made two sets of ears as the patterns say but mine came too small so I made another set with two yarn and I stuck them on, not very happy that the ears came close to the face but I can never unpick my work I sew too good.  I also should have used a smaller crochet for the body. I am a harsh critic for my work. I think I could have done better. I got the pattern from amigurumi bb she has many free patterns. She is very generous to share all her patterns for free. Good luck in making the elf girl I don't know if I ever try the elf boy now.

Bird cage

My daughter wanted me to just decorate this cage for her. She bought the birds online. I just had to make a veil for one and bought the hat and add a tiny blue ribbon on it for the other bird. I tried to make the hat but she wasn't satisfied so I found one that almost fit the bird and I used that instead. I put flowers and attach them with wire and finally I added the pearls.We also added a nest inside but it is also not shown in these pictures.

Hat

I made this hat  and I had to change everything about the pattern. The pattern was too small with one yarn so I did use two yarns. I still had to change the googles pattern it was way too small. I stitched the white line by hand. I had trouble doing it with the hook. The back is not that wonky let's hope it looks good on it is certainly warm hat for winter. I think I will add straps so he can tie it to his chin.
