A little quicky for Halloween perhaps..if you’re quick since I’ve left it to the last minute as usual. Another fun project with scraps and if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, twist some florists wire through the legs so you can pose your spidey. The written pattern is here and should open in a […]

Hop and Hunny Here’s a crochet pattern for a little bear and bunny. It would make a lovely new baby toy or just a cute little critter for yourself 🙂 These little guys don’t take long to whip up and are a great use of scraps. The crochet pattern for […]
Every time I get a nice new squishy wool I feel the need to pay homage to it’s origin. Although my latest delivery was alpaca yarn so perhaps I should have made one of those **adds to list of future projects** Anyway, here’s another sheep. I feel another stop motion […]
Here’s a free crochet piggy pig pattern and an epic 3 step by step videos. I apologise for the lack of sound on these videos. I got fed up at the editing stage and could not bring myself to trawl the internet looking for good copyright free tunes. It’s much […]
Here is my latest creation – A unicorn 🙂 I’ve tested the pattern in a variety of yarns and hooks and he seems to come out ok with most variants. I did like the Caron cakes though – it just about holds the shape well and is nice and squishy […]
I’ve changed the foxy pattern. Annoying I know and I apologise to anyone that made the old version and was disappointed. I think the new version is much better. I’ve only really changed the way the legs are made – they are now seperate and it gives the opportunity to […]
Here’s a new crochet hippo pattern for your pocket. You would honestly think that I would be able to dream up some new creature to make but no…I’m just retreading old territory. Truth is, I’ve never been particularly happy with the original hippo pattern that I made and have been […]
Here’s a crochet whale pattern – a narwhal to be precise. He’s a real cutey…I’ve been fiddling around with lovely spiral shapes for a while and was going to make a unicorn. Then I thought, nah mate whales are much cooler (easier). Except it didn’t really turn out easier as […]
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Ok, this is something I’ve been working on for a goodly while now. Every time I made it, I changed it so has taken forever to actually pin it down!! I wanted a multi purpose chibi type character that could be adjusted for all manner of […]
Here’s a free crochet pattern for a hedgehog complete with lots of bobbles. So I started making a video for the free sheep pattern but in accordance with my usual complete inability to follow a pattern…it turned into a hedgehog crochet pattern. So here’s a video for a hedgehog. […]
Here’s a quick video to make this easy little flower. Should be able to rustle up enough for a pretty headband in no time. But if you don’t want to bother with a video it’s basically: 10sc in adjustable loop and slip stitch to close (1sc, 1hdc, ch1, 1hdc, […]
Finally something new!! This little guy came out quite cute in the end. It’s made pretty much in one piece from the top to the bottom – that’s how much I hate joining pieces!! I kind of like it without the tail but I have included the instructions for the […]
This video sort of follows on from the last one and shows how to make the flower motif. I’m still a bit new to this video lark and maybe won’t set my camera so close next time!!
The thing is with finger puppets…I guess everyone has different sized fingers so a bit of provision has to be made for this! There’s no stuffing involved with this one (which is just as well since I’ve run out), he just sort of perches on the end of your finger. […]
So I’ve drawn this up (as an exercise in Illustrator as much as any other reason) and using a fine cotton yarn (horribly splitty stuff but pretty colours) I’ve made quite a few of these motifs….just haven’t decided what to do with them yet…. Each row is in a […]
When I made the pattern for this bunny I realised I’d neglected to include the headband which I had intended to do so here is that headband (or a version of it that seems to work nicely) For the flowers (make as many as you like): 1. Using nice bright orange/yellow […]
I love bobbles. They are easy but gobble (bobblin gobblin) up the yarn so you’ll need more than you think. I probably used about half a ball (25g ish) of the bobble colour, this was Drops Nepal in off white I think they call it. It’s aran/worsted weight and I […]
