WHALE RATTLE!

Isn't this one too cute?!! I didn't use one specific pattern. Just Googled around a bit, and combined some patterns and a added some of my own!

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

Sheep rattle

You know that feeling, you've found the perfect book for a new born and you want to crochet something that fits with the theme of the book? On the internet I found a great example of a sheep rattle, but no pattern. So I had to make one myself! No problem, but it takes some more time to make one.

There is actually a funny story behind the present. I started to search for a book, even before the baby was born. I found this book 'Joep' which is about a cute stuttering sheep and is illustrated by my cousin (link to website). The next day we found out that the newborn was born and called 'Joep'. What a coincidence!

 Have a nice day!
