Marine set toys - Whale Tilda - Sperm Whale Tilda Tutorial and Pattern

This Black Beanie Crochet Pattern has a classic design, but is made a little differently than your typical crocheted hat. It's worked as a rectangle and then sewn into a hat.

¡Hola Creativa! Si has visto la foto final de la Polaina de Punto de bebé que te muestro en el tutorial de hoy, probablemente hayas pensado que debe ser demasiado difícil de hacer, que necesitarás agujas circulares, dominar un montón de técnicas avanzadas, que no es un proyecto apto para principiantes ¡y no se cuantitas cosas más!... Pero ¡nada más lejos de la realidad!. Hoy vengo a desmitificar las polainas de punto tejidas a mano (cómo ya hicimos con los patucos de punto) para que veas que es muuuucho más sencillo tejerlas de lo que pueda parecer a primera vista.

I have several antique ledger books and I love the simple charm of these pages that helped keep the accounts and records for businesses many years ago. Today I'm featuring several ledger papers that were never written on, because they'll make wonderful images for scrapbooks or other projects. I love the heavy aging on this page. This is the same page as above, except I've given it a lighter tone with less aging. These pages are from a ledger

Hi everyone! I wanted to share today one of my favorite alternatives to plastic safety eyes when making amigurumi. And bonus, they are fast and easy! These came to be when I was searching for an 'eye' to have a crisp, delicate look. I have made some with worsted black yarn but it just didn't meet the look I was going for when the eye needed to be on a smaller scale. There are many reasons we look for an alternative to plastic safety eyes. The most popular reason being the recipient of our beautiful creation is a little one under 3. I now make most of my amigurumis with plastic safety eyes because my kids are over this age and the fact that they pop in quickly! With that being said though, I have to admit I love the look of using crochet thread. By the time I'm done, it was worth a few extra minutes. Here's an example from the Amigurumi Cow Pattern! To make these I used a 2.25mm hook (2.5mm should work just fine too) and size 10 black crochet thread. I also use some white to add a little reflection from time to time for added detail. I know a lot of you may have embroidery thread/floss on hand and this can be used too, however, it is thicker so you may want to bring it down to 4 ply instead. On an off note, I absolutely love crochet thread! The beautiful color selection they now come in are amazing! I use them often to make tiny flowers like in these hair clips. Ok, back on track now...... these eyes work up fast and can be sewn on your amigurumi project before or after you close the head. You can also easily add eyelashes as you sew them on! I used the 12mm size below for my Cuddly Caterpillar pattern! It was perfect to add a bit of reflection and detail! Below are instructions for making 4 common sizes found in amigurumi patterns: 9mm, 10.5mm, 12mm and 15mm This post contains affiliate links, please click here for more info. Thank you for supporting Grace and Yarn! Materials- Black crochet thread size 10 2.25mm crochet hook Scissors Sewing needle US Abbreviations- HDC - Half double crochet SC - Single crochet Sl st - Slip stitch MC - Magic circle Ch - Chain Alright, lets get started! NOTE: For any of the sizes chosen below, fasten off at the end and be sure to leave a long tail to sew onto your amigurumi project 9mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 8 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC (8 HDC) 10.5mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 12 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC (12 HDC) 12mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 8 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC, Ch 1 (8 HDC) Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch, join with a sl st to the first SC (16 SC) 15mm- Round 1: Create a MC with 8 HDC, join with a sl st to the first HDC, Ch 1 (8 HDC) Round 2: 2 HDC in each stitch, join with a sl st to the first HDC (16 HDC) To add a reflection take a small amount of white crochet thread and pass through a stitch once or twice as pictured below, secure and fasten off. I told you they would be easy! Be sure to PIN this tutorial to pull it up for a future project you would like to use them on. Looking for an amigurumi project?

Making a dollhouse is much like building a conventional house – it takes time and patience. There are a lot of pieces, but they are not complicated to cut and assemble.

My daughters love themed animals and are a big inspiration to my patterns. After making my amigurumi cow, I knew I wanted to create a farm theme. The next installment is here, these sweet little ducks! (Funny enough, when I started designing them they were chicks. After frogging and trying to get the details to match what I pictured in my head, they started to look more and more like ducks. My awesome pattern testers helped me pinpoint which animal they should be!) If you are new to amigurumi be sure to check out my tips and materials page to help get you started! By including or excluding the bow and eyelashes this pattern is easily adaptable to make in a boy or girl version! Equally fun is deciding the colors to make them in. Both work up to be about 13 inches tall, perfect cuddling size! If you have any questions along the way or want to share your project with us, join the Grace and Yarn Crochet Group on Facebook! I'll also keep you updated on new patterns, giveaways and tutorials! In most of my patterns I use plastic safety eyes, they are easy and fast to install. However, they are not recommended for children under 3. If you are making this for a little one or don't have the size needed on hand, I recommend using my crochet thread eyes as an alternative! You may make and sell items made from this pattern but please do not sell, share or reproduce the actual pattern. If you sell finished items online (Etsy, etc) please provide a link to the pattern and credit to me as the designer, thank you. I hope you enjoy this pattern! This is a free pattern here on my blog, if you would prefer an ad-free printable version you can purchase one for a small fee from Ravelry or Etsy. Don't forget to PIN this pattern and save to your favorite board! This post contains affiliate links, please click here for more info. Thank you for supporting Grace and Yarn! Materials: Size 4 worsted weight yarn (100g of white or yellow yarn for the body, 25g orange) 3.5 mm crochet hook (these are my favorite to use!) 15mm safety eyes Black crochet/embroidery thread for eyelashes/small amount of choice color for bow (optional) Scissors Tapestry needle (these work wonders for amigurumi with their bent tips) Stuffing (Poly-Fil and Morning Glory are my top favorites!) Stitch markers US Abbreviations: MC- Magic circle SC- Single crochet SC INC- Single crochet increase INV DEC- Invisible decrease DC- Double crochet *Slowly stuff as you go, you want it to be firm but not stretched.

At the end of Round 22 on the 2nd leg, complete a SC in each of the next 6 stitches, this will line up your legs to be straight when we join. Round 23 joins the legs together and starts the body.) Round 23: Chain 3 and attach to the first leg with a SC (be sure both feet are facing the same direction), SC in the remaining stitches around the leg, when you reach the chain make a SC across each of the 3 chains, SC in the remaining stitches of the next leg and SC across each of the 3 chains (42 SC) This completes your join and is where your next round will start.

Optional Bow- Working in a magic circle make 7 DCs, slip stitch, 7 DCs, and slip stitch again, pull your string tight and wrap it around the middle of the bow 4 times.
