Hello all! I am so excited to share with you all the first amigurumi pattern for 2024. It's been quite the adventure into toy making, and one I am having an absolute blast with.  These patterns will be free to access on the blog, but if you would like a PDF option, that will be available for a small fee over on my Ko-Fi account.

  Hi peeps!  Hot dang, it's been a moment hasn't it. 2 years since my last pattern. But that's ok. Sometimes you need a break to find your crojo, and my gosh, mine has come flying on back lately! I've decided I need to take a break from designing preemie items for a bit. Honestly, my heart and my head were just so overwhelmed, and it burnt me out pretty badly. The positive side to that is, I've spent some time exploring other types of crochet and boy do I have some fun stuff to share with you all! Today, I want to show you how to crochet lavender! I've been making flower bouquets ..read more

  Hello lovelies! Today's pattern is an adaptation of the flay lay heart from earlier in the month. By making 2 hearts, and adding a new edge, we can put 2 flat lays together with some stuffing to make a more puffy 3D heart! How cute! Like all heart patterns, you are free to pick your own yarn weight and hook size for these, but being stuffed, I suggest a smaller hook so stuffing doesn't peak through.  Puff Heart 1: Ch2, sc in the 1st ch 2: Ch1, turn, 2sc in the st - 2 3: Ch1, turn, 2sc in each st - 4 4: Ch1, turn, 2sc in the first st, sc in the next 2 sts, 2sc in the last st - 6 ..read more
