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.

Amigurumi dragon

I was giving lots of wool and I found us for them her in making this toy. I made many patterns from amigurumi bb and many times I wanted to try this dragon and many times I put it off. Finally I got to make it and since I had four 50 grams balls of wool I made it colourful as you can see. It is fairly easy to crochet if you are used to amigurumi. However there is a lot of sewing in this toy. It is a free pattern so it won't cost you anything to make it. My grandson loved it he will sleep with it he told me. he looks good with his big eyes. I actually thought it was way bigger toy but not really. I do love amigurumi bb's patterns. Good luck with yours if you give this a try.

 

Crochet colourful blanket

When you are given lots of yarn and it is textured and you don't know what to do with it, a good way is to make blankets. I made one not quite similar to this but same manner and I liked it so I wanted it like it more then stripes. I have different colour black and faded colour but it is very useful to cover little kids with it while napping. I used  a lot of different blues here all was given to me that I thought I will not use for amigurumi. The yarn had different texture it is a very good way to used it this way. I had two different colour blacks and different yarn like acrylic and wool. The light blue yarn was thin different ply so I worked it with two strands. Without planning anything working as I go I must admit I like the results. I thought I will show you this project.
