Sea Otter Pattern on PlanetJune


I just finished this sea otter for my sister! She had a project at school that she needed to bring a model for and I found a pattern! Sadly, it did cost money because it's hard to find an otter pattern.
I just used a visa gift card to buy it from PlanetJune. If you want to make it yourself, here's the link to the pattern: Otter Pattern.
It didn't take me long at all. It only took my about a day but it probably helped that I had a deadline.
If you make this, let me know how it went!

Magic Cinderella doll

Magic Cinderella Crochet Amigurumi | Free Pattern for Transformable Doll

This is a pattern on Ravelry by Irene Kiss. You will have to make an account to get it, but the account is free, so why not?
Its a free pattern download, so If you want to make this doll, here is the link to the page where you can download the pdf in 4 different languages: English, Italian, German, and Dutch- Magic Cinderella Doll.
Remember that if you don't have an account it won't take you to that page, it will take you to the sign-up page.
I just thought this doll was really cute and a little girl would really enjoy it. If you want a different princess, I have found several pictures of an Elsa one but i can't seem to find the pattern. :(
Tell me how it goes if you make it!!!

Super Mario Afghan


Look at this afghan!!! Knowing how annoying it is to switch yarns, I don't think I would have the patience to do this. What makes it even more unbelievable is that it is all in single crochet. Do you have any idea how long this thing would take?! If you are willing to take the time to make this amazing project, here is the link: Super Mario Afghan. Maybe someday, I will become more patient and be able to do this... but i can't even wait three days for a package to arrive on my doorstep!
Anyway, if you make this, please let me know how it went and how long it took you!

Crossbody Bag Technique


This is one of my older projects that I did without a pattern. Its a little bit stained with blue paint because i forgot to move it when my sister painted the bedroom. The main stitch is called by several different things (crocodile stitch, scallop stitch) and then everything else is single crochet. The technique is pretty simple.

For the body of the purse, you just crochet two rectangles the same size. and sew them together with a yarn needle. But if you want to, you could always crochet them together.
For the strap, I just chained until it seemed like the bag was in a good position, and then I single crocheted until I thought it was thick enough and sewed the ends to either side.

This is a really good beginner project because it isn't complicated. If you have any problems please tell me because i would love to help. If you would like me to figure out the pattern and post it, please let me know and I would be happy to.

Santa's Pants on Ravelry




These pants are ADORABLE! 

This is a free pattern download from Ravelry by Thomasina Cummings Designs.You can make a free Ravelry account then download the pattern. Here's the link if you wanted to make this gift bag yourself: Santa's Pants
I haven't tried making these yet because i have about 10 patterns in my binder to do but I definitely will this year. In my opinion, the only way you could make it even better is by making it so you are able to put them on a baby. If you are good at improvising things like this, you would probably be able to make them wearable.
If you happen to make these please comment because I would love to know how it went for you!

Happy Crocheting!
