Flower Hexagon Blanket

One of the gifts I made! I used the same hexagon from the Flower Hexagon Bag Crochet Pattern to make this blanket. I used a K/6.5mm hook to get the hexagons about 4.5" wide.

I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice in Magenta, Soft Pink, and Scarlet. I also used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice Baby in Pink Poodle and Loops & Threads Charisma Baby in Lavender. I made 12 hexagons per color. I used leftover black yarn for half of it so it’s mostly Craft Smart (prolly the softest of the bunch) with some RHSS and Impeccable.

I made them all first without the last round of the hexagon pattern so I could join them together later as I did those rounds. I like how they look together without the black border but it would've taken too long to make enough.. I'll do that for the next one I make!!

Angel Wings Baby Dress

I made a baby dress for a friend using the Angel Wings Pinafore Pattern by Maxine Gonser. I love crochet shell stitch dresses!! The pattern is for 0-3 months size but I wanted to make it in 9-12 months size so it'll fit during summer (or later most likely since the baby seems to be extra small!).

Instead of using the hook and yarn weight specified, I used I/5.5mm hook and Red Heart Super Savers yarn. It ended up fitting my 6 month old and he wears 9-12 month clothes.

I made a flower button using a B/2.25mm hook and Knit Picks Shined Worsted:

R1: Ch 2, 5 sc in 2nd ch from hook. Sl st in first sc to join.
R2: *Ch 2, 3 dc, ch 2, sl st into same st. Sl st in next st.* Repeat from * to end. (5 petals)

I was drawn to this pattern because of Gabeycakes's version on Ravelry:



Cute buttons and the yarn is a pretty color! It's NaturallyCaron.com Spa in Ocean Spray.

Mini Pig Amigurumi Pattern

This design is pretty basic and should be easy to make. :)

P.S.

After nearly a year long hiatus from my shop, I've finally re-opened it and I'm focusing on trying to make many amigurumi and other things to sell.

Since I'm expecting a little one, I am determined to make at least one thing a day for my shop! :D

So I currently have no plans to write up any more patterns for a while. The process of putting it all together makes me really tired because of having to look at the computer screen for so long.

However, if you're interested in tips or tutorials on any stitches/techniques for crochet/knitting, let me know as that'd be much easier for me to do.

Fox Phone Cozy

I finally had to get around to making one of these things because I got a new phone.

I've been meaning to make phone cozy/cases for years. My stuff tends to break because I put so much crud in my bags (heavy books, knitting needles, etc)

I have many designs sketched out... :D I want to make more right now but I don't have enough yarn. :(

my crocheted squid bag

I finished this bag a few days ago. :3 I wanted something that could hold my phone, business cards, pens, etc.

I was going to redo my octo bag but I decided to go with a different design... mainly crochet rows instead of in the round.

I also wanted to use safety eyes & plastic canvas but I ended up doing something more simple and child friendly.

Measurements:
7" wide
7" tall (10 1/2" including the tentacles)
Strap is around 48" long

What do you think? I was thinking about making them for squittle... but I'll probably make them a little bigger and maybe use safety eyes for more cuteness.
