Crochet and knitted toys








These are some of my boys knitted and crocheted toys. the robot is from a book written by: Zoe Mellor called: Knitted Toys includes 25 patterns. The tooth fairy pillow is a free pattern that I got off of KnitPick.com. The earthworm is from Amigurumi Knits by: Hansi Singh whom use to have a store on etsy but I've only found here personally through flicker. Her book includes 20 cute knit patterns highly recommend this one its great. I recently started crocheting again, which I haven't done in years. Mostly inspired by my new love of the Amigurumi knitted and crocheted toys, I love them. They are great! My boys love them and I do too, especially since they use up all the scrap yarn that I didn't know what to do with otherwise. My new favorite book now is called Tasty crochet. So far I've tried the pumpkin pie and strawberries. I love the way that it works up so quickly! This book contains 33 patterns to choose from. My boys love all of these books and I highly recommend them all to you to try. Have fun with it. Happy knitting and crocheting, Abby

  1. Hey Abby,

    I really enjoyed looking at your crocheted and knitted toys. The tooth fairy pillow is really cute, the pie's and strawberry look fun too. Looking at them makes me hungry. I'll have to get the book Tasty Crochet. My girls would have a blast.
