Throwback: BEARS!

 In the last period I made such a lovely bear toys, it would be a shame not to share them!

First bear (displayed in the left upper corner) is the two-legged bear of Lanukas. The yellow bears are based on the pattern of Stip en Haak. The bears in the two lower corners are based on patterns of InArt. And last but not least the rattle bear (in the middle of the right side) is just a product of my own, and I was inspired by lots of pins at Pinterest.

Have a nice weekend!

Seahorse Rattle

Who doesn't love a book about crochet? I have lot's of crochet books, and once in a while I can't resist a flick through some of them. I especially love to flick through them when I'm out of inspiration. Or if I know what kind of thing I want to make, but can't find a great free pattern on the internet. Also this time... For months it was on my whish list to make a seahorse, but couldn't find a great pattern (most of the time I'm too lazy to make one myself). By then it was one of those nights I flicked through some of my crochet books and found this lovely pattern! I decided to make this one for a little newborn girl. I think it turned out very cute, doesn't it?

You can find the pattern in this book (Dutch) from Christel Krukkert
I used Phildar Coton 3 and crochet needle 2.5mm
To turn this lovely stuffed toy into a rattle, I put a rattle bead in the head

Lot's of love

Hobbes without Calvin

Ontmoet mijn Hobbes!! Hij is geïnspireerd op het stripfiguur, Hobbes and Calvin die je hieronder kan zien.

Meet my Hobbes!! He is inspired on the comic character, Hobbes and Calvin:

Ik had er een tijdje voor nodig om deze schattige tijger helemaal af te maken, maar ik vond het een geweldig project om te maken. Hopelijk heeft de nieuwe eigenaar van Hobbes veel plezier met de knuffel, ik heb het in ieder geval met veel plezier speciaal voor hem gemaakt.

It took me a while to finish this lovely tiger, but it was a great project. I wish the new owner of Hobbes, lots of fun with it! I made it with pleasure for you.

Wil je ook zo'n geweldige Hobbes maken? Volg dan deze link naar het orignele patroon!
