Valentine's Day Fun

By
For Valentine's Day I made these oragamil cards and crochet monkeys for my daughters. I added stuffed hearts to the monkeys to give them that perfect Valentine's Day touch.

You can find this pattern in the book Creepy Cute Crochet... I picked up a copy at the library... but you can also purchase the book online.




This little monkey is from Easy Crochet Critters. I picked this book up at a local craft shop... but you can also find this book easily online as well.
If you have a Ravelry membership you can find the heart pattern here. If you don't already belong to ravelry... then sign up... it is free and there are so many cool patterns.


Happy Valentine's Day!
Jenn

    It is a lot of fun making toys. I think that my favorite projects are little gifts for the kids. I live in Texas so it never really stays cold long here... mittens and other winter gear just aren't really needed... so I make toys.

I found that a 100% cotton yarn like Lily's sugar and cream or the Walmart Peaches and Cream yarn worked best. On some attempts I used a slightly higher quality cotton yarn and found that the finished product was not as stiff and therefor didn't fly as well...they still worked great, however, so by all means use what you have. I haven't tried making this pattern with any other type of yarn although I'm sure it would work great. These frisbees are great indoors or out. Size K crochet hook 2 balls of worsted weight yarn (100% cotton dish cloth quality works best) tapestry needle Round 1: Holding 2 strands together and using the K hook use the magic ring method to SC 6 into the ring. Round 2: 2 SC into each of the 6 stitches (12 st) Round 3: *SC into next SC, 2 SC into next SC* repeat around (18 st) Round 4: *SC into next 2 SC, 2 ...
