Tasmanian Devil TAZ - baby booties PATTERN

Tasmanian Devil TAZ - baby booties PATTERN

Finally I found some time to go back to these and wrote down the pattern. I know a lot of You were interested in these particular pair, so I hope the pattern will be used a lot :) 

Materials:

• beige, brown, black, white and red yarn ( I use the yarn which gauge is 24.0 to 30.0 sts = 4 inches )
• black material for eyes and a bit of white for the reflection on the nose ( If You don't have even bits of material don't worry You will as well make it with yarn and thread)
• hook 3 mm

Bootie pattern:

R1-R13: follow the basic pattern with brown yarn, then change yarn to beige and continue with the pattern from R14.

Halloween Coasters - Pumpkin Cat

What does this orange cat and Halloween have in common? Only everything! It is illegitimate child of a black cat and pumpkin :)

Materials:

Halloween Coasters - Spirit

Halloween Coasters - Spirit. He is making a cute set with ghost, they are not the same but kind of opposite to each other. I love his little wings, I need to confess I made them differently and change them a few times until I made THE ones. Pattern is very simple even for the beginners ( same as vampire and all of my Halloween Coasters to be honest).

Materials:

Halloween Coasters - Black cat

Halloween Coasters Pattern - Black Cat. You can't have Halloween without black cat! So stop whatever You are doing right now and make a cat! I'm serious YOU HAVE TO! :)
P.S I' m not really the best descriptions writer so my text's are getting dumber and dumber... So Sorry about that.

Materials:

Halloween Coasters - Vampire

Halloween Coasters Pattern - Vampire. I decided to make my vampire blue in a bit oldish style. But If You like Your vampire to be more human like :) make him in beige or green or whatever color You like. Be creative with the pattern if You like or make it exactly like mine. Enjoy!

 Materials:

Halloween Project sneak peek 2

Halloween Coasters are here! I think they will be a wonderful table decoration for everyone who like their Halloween to be a little creepy and much more cute. I hope You like them. Until now I made seven of them:

• Ghost
• Spirit
• Vampire
• Frankenstein
• Witch
• Black Cat
• Orange Cat

but I can't say I won't make more. I love projects that have the same base. I can make bases while watching my son, it is easier to watch out for one hook and one yarn than a whole bunch of potentially dangerous accessories and bunch of parts like hands, eyes, etc.
So I have other ideas for coasters like werewolf or pumpkin, maybe You have some suggestions?

Starting today I am collecting pictures, rewriting patterns and making posts about each of those coasters starting with the base and smile pattern which is cohesive in all coasters.

Cheshire Cat - Baby Booties + Pattern

Halloween Project Sneak Peek

ONLY 1,5 Month to HALLOWEEN


I am almost finished with my first Halloween 2014 crochet project. As soon as I will finish I am going to write down patterns for all my work, but for now I am posting a sneak peek. Do You know what is it? Is it obvious? Can You name the four characters.
SPOILER!!! There will be more characters :)

POlittle - little PO part 2

POlittle is here and he is extremly hugable. As I wrote before ( previous post) he was inspired on a little plush from the KUNG FU PANDA 2 movie. He appears on screen only for a few seconds, but it was long enough for me to decide I am going to make him.

It was quite hard to decide on colours, usually pandas are made from black and white yarn (except for zombie pandas :) but I wanted my panda to look old and a little worn-out. I decided to use two shades of grey ( only two, not 50 ) and a bit of black yarn for nose. Well, I am pleased with his shape and general look but the light grey isn't my favorite. I think next time I'm going to look for a way to use white yarn and make it look dirty without really making it dirty. Anyone tried it? Is it worth the effort?

Anyway I am very proud couse he wasn't as easy shaped as I thought and I hope someone will make a good use of the pattern below. Enjoy!

Materials:

• light grey, dark grey, black yarn ( I used YarnArt Jeans)
• 3mm hook
• stuffing ( I used cotton wool)

Pattern:

Easter Egg - Chicks

On special request I wrote down a pattern for chicks. Enjoy!

Materials:

• yellow, orange, red and white yarn 
• thick black thread for eyes
• hook 3mm

Thank You guys!

In response to your mails and comments and general interest I wanted to say THANK YOU! It's amazing to be appreciated and I love to hear that You like my work and You want to see more. I'm inspired now to make more interesting projects. I'm thinking now about a special project for Halloween, I think You will not be desapointed :)

You also write to ask about patterns that are not yet available like taz booties, cheshire cat ( I love him too he is so creepy-cute) or chicken egg cozies. I made them without wroting the pattern down, but it is so nice to hear that You are interested in making them and I am adding them to my TO DO list and I will make them again.
To sum up I need some time, but I promise I will wrote the patterns for YOU! Visit my blog again in some time you are always welcome.

POlittle - little PO - part 1

For my next project I decided to make another panda ( Yes, I love pandas, zombie pandas, kung-fu pandas and so on....). This one is from KUNG FU PANDA 2 It appears on screen only for a few seconds but It was long enough to steal my heart. Below the screen I'm writing about.

I think It would be the exact same size as my drawing ( half of A4 paper) so It will fit in both hands. I think the most challenging will be to make it a bit aged, that is why I don't want to use white and black yarn but some shades of grey.

Wish my luck, if anyone have any suggestions please hurry up and comment :)  and like always I will write exerything down to make pattern in the next post.
