Has anyone crochet or knit toys? email this discussion to a friend?

Esmy27 (25)2 years ago

I'm just wondering how many people like to crochet or knit toys? I have only made one little amiguri doll. I am starting on a crochet care bear, they look really cute. The pattern is a little advanced,but I think it will workout.

I have crocheted the Winnie the Pooh series! LOVE it! It's different from the care bear pattern book (which I also have) because the arms and legs and all the parts are crocheted/joined right in, instead of being sewn together, which for me makes a huge difference in the finished project for me because I can't sew! LOL

Was that the classic pooh or the disney pooh? That would be really great to crochet it all together, I am not great at sewing the arms and legs either.


myLot reputation of 81/100. cass3forme (111)  2 years ago

It's the Disney one. I cannot for the life of me sew the arms and legs on to these crocheted animals. Well, I can but not tightly, and I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my projects so though they look great to others, they don't look great to me.

I never sew my projects together. I join them by crocheting the pieces together. Doesn't look quite as nice but it is a strong bond.

I've never made toys...but I have made afghans & other things. Where do you find patterns for toys? It sounds like something fun I would like to try. :)


Esmy27 (25)  2 years ago

I bought the pattern for the care bears dolls at Walmart and have seen them at all craft stores. They are really nice.


myLot reputation of 94/100. ButtrflyDreams (697)  2 years ago

Thank you for letting me know where I can find the patterns. I'll have to go look for them next time I'm at the store. :)

I crochet and have the book for the big care bears but haven't settled down and made them yet. I am thinking about it but then that would take time away from mylots, lol. So far, I haven't crocheted any stuffed animals or dolls. I have the patterns for the most adorable and shocking realistic stuffed cats. They are so cute. I am always complaining about not having really good patterns. Me thinks the problem might be that I like looking for patterns more than actually crocheting..

I crochet, but not toys. Not sure why, just isn't what I care to do I guess.

I crocheted a small bear for my baby this summer. I had a simple knit pattern from a TV show. It originally was made in simple stocking knit and the pattern just gave sizes in inches so I just did it in simple single crochet. But when I got to where there should be a skirt I made up a skirt then crocheted the two pieces together and continued on. I made a ballerina bear and added a tail and nose (not part of the pattern). It turned out pretty good and was a learning experience. I was making it on the fly. Now I think I know how I can improve on the design.


myLot reputation of 96/100. auburndreams (553)  2 years ago

Amigurumi is one of my favorite types of crochet. My first ever was an elephant I made back in about 1984.
Recently I've made 2 elephants, some teddy bears, 3 cupcakes, and I knitted a lion.


Esmy27 (25)  2 years ago

Wow! You've been busy. You must be a pro at this by now. I'm still learning.


myLot reputation of 96/100. auburndreams (553)  2 years ago

Mostly I just make up my own patterns.

That sounds like a project that would be frustrating to me! I have too many small children running around here to need to follow a pattern. It takes quite a bit of concentration to do something that complex. Hats off to you!

i have crocheted a toy truck for a friends little boy. i made my own pattern and just started crocheting it. i stuffed it and the little boy loved it. he asked his mom if i really made it. it was so cute.

I am planning to make some toys for my baby. For example, stuffed blocks and balls. I have been crocheting for 16 years so I tend to make whatever I can make a pattern for. I am not one who like to make stuffed animals since my kids have too many as it is. Check out my pictures, there are some of my crocheting projects.
