Molly is very impatiently waiting for it to snow so she can make a snowman. This finished doll stands about 10.5 inches tall and makes a cute winter decoration, or a toy for little hands to play with.

If you want a pattern that you can save on your computer and easily print, this pattern is available in my Ravelry shop for only $2.00. I love printing patterns and saving them in a binder to keep track of the ones I’ve done and the ones I still plan to do.

Pull hat onto head and get it where you want it. Attach 2 medium buttons to hat for the snowman’s eyes and sew the nose on. Figure out the placement of her eyes, but don’t put the backs on yet. Sew hat onto head, then attach hair underneath hat so that it falls over the loops.

There are many different ways you can do hair on dolls, which I go into detail more about in my Amigurami Tips and Tricks post.  I used dark grey heather for her hair, then pull it into 2 ponytails, but you can use any color and any style you’d like. Once you have the hat and hair on, sew on eyelashes if you’d like and attach the backs to the safety eyes. You can add blush to her cheeks to give her a rosy glow.

I hope you enjoy this pattern! You’re welcome to sell items that you make using my patterns, as long as you don’t post the pattern anywhere else, and link back to my page if you’d like to. If there are any mistakes, or something is unclear, please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know. Or message me on Facebook. If you create any dolls of your own, be sure to post a photo on my Facebook page so I can see. I love seeing all of the things people are creating, and I’d love to see the different variations that people make of these.

Christmas is coming. If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time shopping for other people and don’t really think about things that you would like for Christmas. I’ve found some pattern books (and a few other things) that any crocheter would love to have for Christmas. So check these out. Maybe purchase some for a friend of yours or for yourself. Or just pass the link on to your loved ones so they know exactly what to get for you.

(Also, by ordering through these affiliate links you help me earn some revenue from this page so I can keep posting my patterns for free.)

These books by Kerry Lord are so fun. The first one is Edward’s Crochet Imaginarium. You flip through the 3 sections to put together a monster. The possibilities are almost endless with them, and you can make some really unique gifts this way.

Monsters not your thing? Kerry Lord also has Edward’s Crochet Doll Emporium, which is done the same way. Mix and match patterns to design the perfect doll. I really love this idea.

This last book by Kerry Lord is full of adorable animals. Edward’s Menagerie has over 40 toy animals to make, and I love the classic look to all of them.

The Big Book of Little Amigurami is full of cute little things you can make. I love the little fruits and the mushrooms!

Huggable Amigurami is one of my favorites, and it’s definitely on my wish list. There are some really cute animals in this one.

Want to make a circus full of animals? Amigurami Circus is full of patterns from different designers. I don’t have this book, but I have quite a few of their other books that they’ve put out, and I love them.

Want to make some fairy tale characters? Once Upon a Time…in Crochet has 30 different characters from popular fairy tales. It also has good techniques for making different stuffies.

The dolls in Huggy Dolls 2 are so adorable. I love stripes on dolls, and there’s even a mermaid in here.

My Crochet Doll has a great pattern for a doll that you can customize to look the way you want it to, and a whole lot of clothing you can make to go with that doll. There are so many possibilities in this book for different characters you could make, or you could make 1 doll with a lot of different outfits for a child to dress up and play with.

I don’t know why the idea of crocheted foods appeals to me so much, but the items in Ice Box Crochet are really cute. This book includes the pattern for the fridge that you can fill with all of the food that you make.

Do you make things for craft fairs? Both of these books, Potholders & Dishcloths and A Year of Dishcloths, would be perfect for things you can whip up and sell. I think the themed ones would especially be a big hit at those craft fairs.

Mollie Makes Crochet has patterns for crocheted home decor, which has become really popular the last few years. I love the Mollie Makes magazines, so full of neat DIY projects, so I was thrilled to see that they put out a book full of crochet.

That’s all for the books, but I wanted to include a few of my favorite things in this post.

This is one of my favorite crochet hook organizers. I have this one, and it sits right next to my bed and holds all of my hooks, my needles, my embroidery floss, etc. It’s such a good quality, and the price is amazing.

This crochet organizer bag is another one of my favorites that I’ve purchased. It has so much space to hold everything you need for the project you’re working on, which is great if you tend to take projects with you when you go places. It’s also great to keep next to you when you work on your project at home because you can simply close it up and keep it all together. Plus, this design matches my crochet hook organizer.

This yarn dispenser is great for keeping your skeins from rolling around (and onto the floor) while you crochet. Yarn bowls are so popular right now, and you can find them all over the place. Personally, I find those work best for center-pull skeins, and sometimes you just can’t find that center piece to pull it. This would work much better for me since I don’t even bother trying to pull from the center if the piece isn’t easy to see.

And lastly, this pack of 9 blocking mats is exactly what you need to get those projects laying flat when they’re wanting to curl. With the 9 blocks, you can increase your surface area for big projects.

That’s it for my November Favorite Finds. Be sure to pass these links on to anybody wanting to shop for you. I hope you find a few of these under your tree this year!

 

I made Marty the Moose to go with Randall the Reindeer, because I thought he needed a friend. While I think of reindeer as being a Christmas animal, a moose makes me think more of autumn for some reason. In any case, Marty the Moose would make a great stuffy to put on a shelf with your holiday decorations, but he’s also soft and cuddly for little ones to hug.

As you can see, he looks really cute without the scarf, so it’s not necessary. But he also looks awful cute with it.

Just a note here. I used Red Heart Soft for Marty because I wanted him to be soft and cuddly. As you can see, Red Heart Soft has quite a bit of stretch to it so it may leave gaps in your work. You can minimize this by using a smaller hook and making sure your stitches are really tight. Or you could make him using a different yarn if you’d like.

Be sure to go check out the pattern for Randall the Reindeer too.

As you can see, he looks really cute without the scarf, so it’s not necessary. But he also looks awful cute with it.

Just a note here. I used Red Heart Soft for Randall because I wanted him to be soft and cuddly. As you can see, Red Heart Soft has quite a bit of stretch to it so it may leave gaps in your work. You can minimize this by using a smaller hook and making sure your stitches are really tight. Or you could make him using a different yarn if you’d like.

Keep an eye out for Marty the Moose, coming soon.

*SIDE NOTE* I have horrible lighting in my house, so I don’t usually take pictures of my work “in progress.” There were a few pieces of each of these patterns, though, that I knew would benefit from in progress pictures. So I took some in my bedroom with my cell phone, using the terrible lighting that I have in there. They aren’t the best pictures, but I figured that they’re better than nothing.

These flowers are really easy and really cute. They would be great for many different project. You could even make stems for them and put them in a vase or flower pot.

Abbreviations:

ch: chain

Figure out the placement of her eyes, but don’t put the backs on yet. Attach hair. There are many different ways you can do hair on dolls, which I go into detail more about in my Amigurami Tips and Tricks post. For Poppy, I did her bangs first, then I attached hair around her hair and pulled it up into a ponytail, then used a piece of yarn to tie it up. With ponytails, you don’t need to attach hair to the whole head; you just need to attach it around the outside since it will cover the rest of the scalp.

She would look cute with different hair options too, but I wanted the ponytail to match the one on the button. Once you’re happy with her hair, adjust the eyes if you need to to get them where you want them, then place the backs on. You can use blush to give her pink cheeks if you’d like to.

Row 14: *Dec in first 2 stitches, sc in next stitch, repeat from * around. (10 stitches)

Rows 15-16: Sc in each stitch around. (10 stitches)

Tie off. Stuff with poly-fil. Leave last few rows unstuffed and fold flat.

Front Legs:

With fern, ch 3. Sl st to first ch to create circle. (Instead, you can perform the “magic circle” if you’d like.)

Row 1: ch 1, 10 sc inside of circle. (10 stitches)

Row 2: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next stitch , repeat from * around. (15 stitches)

Row 3: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next 2 stitches, repeat from * around. (20 stitches)

Tie off. Stuff with poly-fil. Leave last few rows unstuffed and fold flat.

To make toes, use a piece of fern yarn and the yarn needle. Stick your needle through the bottom of the foot…

Then come up by your decrease row. Insert back through the bottom, then come up by the decrease row again…

Pull the yarn tight. You can adjust where the yarn goes to make the toes more even. Tie the end and weave them in.

If you have a hard time with this step, you can always skip making the toes and just leave the feet as is.

Tail:

With fern, ch 3. Sl st to first ch to create circle. (Instead, you can perform the “magic circle” if you’d like.)

Row 1: ch 1, 4 sc inside of circle. (4 stitches)

Rows 2-5: Sc in each stitch around. (4 stitches)

Row 6: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next stitch , repeat from * around. (6 stitches)

Rows 7-10: Sc in each stitch around. (6 stitches)

Insert your pipe cleaner at this point, and crochet around it.

Row 11: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next 2 stitches, repeat from * around. (8 stitches)

Rows 12-15: Sc in each stitch around. (8 stitches)

Start pushing poly-fil in around the pipe cleaner.

Row 16: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next 3 stitches, repeat from * around. (10 stitches)

Rows 17-20: Sc in each stitch around. (10 stitches)

 

Continue stuffing with poly-fil around the pipe cleaner as you go.

Row 21: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next 4 stitches, repeat from * around. (12 stitches)

Rows 22-23: Sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Row 24: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next 5 stitches, repeat from * around. (14 stitches)

Rows 25-26: Sc in each stitch around. (14 stitches)

Rows 31-32: Sc in each stitch around. (18 stitches)

Row 33: *Inc in first stitch, sc in next 8 stitches, repeat from * around. (20 stitches)

Rows 34-35: Sc in each stitch around. (20 stitches)

Tie off. Cut off the end of the pipe cleaner.

The pipe cleaner will really only curl the end of the tail, but that’s all of the curl that you need.

Wings:

With kelly green, ch 5.

Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across, ch 1, turn. (4 stitches)

Row 2: Sc in each stitch across, ch 1, turn. (4 stitches)

Row 3: Inc in first stitch, sc in next 2 stitches, inc in last stitch, ch 1, turn. (6 stitches)

Row 5: Inc in first stitch, sc in next 4 stitches, inc in last stitch, ch 1, turn. (8 stitches)

Row 6: Sc in each stitch across, ch 1, turn. (8 stitches)

Row 7: Inc in first stitch, sc in next 6 stitches, inc in last stitch, ch 1, turn. (10 stitches)

Row 8: Sc in each stitch across, ch 3, turn. (10 stitches)

Row 9: Sc in 2nd stitch, sl st in next stitch, sc in next stitch, dc in next 2 stitches, sc in next stitch, sl st in next stitch, sc in next stitch, dc in last stitch. (10 stitches, counting the ch 3 as the first dc.)

Tie off. Make 4.

Sew 2 together, but at the top, sew along row 8, leaving row 9 separate a bit.

Now you have all of the pieces of your dragon, ready to sew together.

Sew the body and the head together. Sew the back legs on. I sewed them up to the side a bit, and I sewed them so that they hang to the side, not from the bottom, so that they would sit the way I wanted them to.

Sew the front legs on, but sew them down a bit so that he doesn’t lean too far forward. Center the tail on the back and sew it on, then sew the wings on above it.

And you have your finished Philip the Dragon.

A few weeks ago, I was at Joann fabrics looking at buttons. I was just looking for some simple white ones, but they have some of the cutest buttons there, and I can never resist looking at all of them. I found a set with a fairy, a unicorn, a dragon and some flowers, and it was so adorable that I bought it. I didn’t have any plans to use the buttons, but I had been wanting to crochet a unicorn, so I decided the button was a good base. Then I decided I had to make the dragon. Then I figured I should make the fairy to go with them, and I had to add the flowers too just so I would have the whole set. Here are the buttons, and here are my crocheted recreations.

As a kid, I was obsessed with unicorns. My bedroom was covered in them, and I drew them every chance I got. I eventually grew out of that obsession, but lately I’ve been noticing everything unicorn again. So first up, is my pattern for Stanley the Unicorn.

If you missed the other posts for this series, go check out Philip the Dragon,  Poppy the Fairy, and the fairytale Flowers.

If you want a pattern that you can save on your computer and easily print, this pattern is available in my Ravelry shop for only $2.00. Or you can get my whole Fairytale Series for only $5.00. I love printing patterns and saving them in a binder to keep track of the ones I’ve done and the ones I still plan to do.

*SIDE NOTE* I have horrible lighting in my house, so I don’t usually take pictures of my work “in progress.” There were a few pieces of each of these patterns, though, that I knew would benefit from in progress pictures. So I took some in my bedroom with my cell phone, using the terrible lighting that I have in there. They aren’t the best pictures, but I figured that they’re better than nothing.

Rows 10-14: Sc in each stitch around. (12 stitches)

Tie off. Stuff with poly-fil.

Now you should be ready to assemble the unicorn’s head.

Position the snout onto the face where you want it. I like to use straight pins to hold it in place while I sew.

Be sure as you’re stitching it on that it doesn’t get crooked.

Before you close it up completely, stop and stuff it with poly-fil.

Once the snout is sewn on, position the eyes where you want them.

I like to wait to put the backs on the eyes until I have the head completely done. Once those backs are on, there’s no going back. When sewing the ears on, pull the sides in so that it’s pinched down at the bottom.

Last, sew the horn onto the center of the head.

This is the point where I would normally put the backs on the eyes. If you want to sew eyelashes on, and turn your unicorn into a girl, be sure to do them before you put the backs on the eyes.

Sew body onto head. Then sew back legs on, then front legs. For the unicorn, I sewed his legs on so that they go sideways when he sits.

Using the sky blue yarn, attach the main and tail. I cut the tail hairs about 14 inches long, and the main hairs about 7 inches long, but you can really make them as long or as short as you want.

For more information on attaching hair, you can check out my Amigurami Tips and Tricks post. It also has some other great information that could be useful when working with these patterns.

And there you have your Stanley the Unicorn. Be sure to stay tuned for the other patterns in this series.

Thanksgiving is coming. It’s the perfect time to crochet yourself a turkey, either as a toy or as a decoration for the holiday. Todd the Turkey sits about 11 inches tall, and would look great as a centerpiece on your table this year.

**Side note** I never thought I’d google the question “What is the red thing that hangs off of a turkey’s beak called?” But in writing up this pattern, I didn’t know what to call it. I was calling it his “gobbler,” which obviously isn’t right. Apparently, it’s called a snood. Who knew?

If you want a pattern that you can save on your computer and easily print, this pattern is available in my Ravelry shop for only $2.00. I love printing patterns and saving them in a binder to keep track of the ones I’ve done and the ones I still plan to do.

Or message me on Facebook. If you create any turkeys of your own, be sure to post a photo on my Facebook page so I can see. I love seeing all of the things people are creating, and I’d love to see the different variations that people make of these.
