Baby blanket

I made this baby blanket for a girl for something different. I loved the pattern. I googled free crochet patterns and you could look on you tube how the pattern is done.The colours are like napoletan ice cream. I work tight and mind you I use a larger hook. I think it looks nicer when the design is larger. I made a border to finish it up and I think it looks nicer with it. Baby wraps are easy to make and it takes a while to finish it but it is very rewarding once it's done. Giving them as gifts is a nice thing. Anyway here is my blanket for a baby girl.

Sock monkey with the banana

I made this sock monkey from Amigurumi to go. Sharon is very generous to share her patterns for free. I made this monkey a banana and it is not that I don't like sharing patterns, I never get to finish them because if I unpick I will loose track of what I did. I also did less white on the hands and legs and added them in green. I sewed the banana to it's hand so it has moving arms. It could be more fun for little kids to play with.

Forgot to fix the ears
oops!

Amigurumi banana

Since I made a monkey my youngest daughter suggested I should make a banana so I searched for a pattern and I found this one. The banana is too big for that monkey so I have to make a smaller one for it. I found the yellow part after the peel a little hard to do so good luck with that, if any one wants to try it. There are lots of fruits out there if you have little girls and have lots of fun making them. I made him wink as I had only one eye in that colour, don't know how because I buy the eyes in pairs.I also added a that brown bit it looks better I reckon.

Sock monkey from Amigurumi to go

Sock monkey from the free pattern from Amigurumi to go. I wanted to make this monkey for so long. I don't know why it took so long for me to make one. Sharon's monkeys are so cute and the patterns are easy to follow. It is not very big, that apple is medium size. It is good for a baby to handle but you need to put embroidery eyes so it is more safe. I am always searching for free patterns with challenges. I haven't got bored yet making amigurumi toys. I am a little busier these days and I can't make as much as I used to do. Anyway till next time stay safe and take care whoever reads this blog.

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.

Funky Zebra

 I was suppose to make a tiger but by accident I turned the page to a zebra. I wasn't going to unpick all my hard work so here it is my funky zebra. It is the same pattern as the zebra from the same book. The colors changes them a bit. Now I have to make the tiger.

I have posted the picture of the zebra too so you can see how striking it looks when you use different color yarn.

Black and white Zebra

I made this Zebra from the book Edward's Menagerie. My youngest daughter gave it to me for Christmas. I only did one thing and I decided to make more. It is hard to work with black wool but it does look nicer. This toy is safe for younger kids and the eyes have been embroidered. I enjoyed making it. The mane is different it doesn't explain how so I made up my own. It looks better and also the tail I couldn't understand what he meant.
