So my crochet thing is continuing- hence the title!!
I made my own patterns for these two cookies but essentitially it was crochet two disks of dark brown for the Oreo;
With Dark Brown, ch 2.
Round 1: 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook, do not join—6 sc.
Round 2: 2 sc in each sc around—12 sc.
Round 3: *Sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc; repeat from * around—18 sc.
Round 4: *Sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc; repeat from * around—24 sc.
Round 5: *Sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc; repeat from * around, join with sl st in next st—30 sc.
Cast off
Make a chain of 30 stitches in Cream yarn to create the filling.
Assemble and stuff lightly adding the eyes before stitching closed!
For the Choc Chip Cookie;
Crochet 2 disks in Light Brown as above.
Cast Off and use Dark Brown thread to create random stitches on the 2 Cookie disks like Choc Chips.
Add eyes to one disl and stitch the 2 disks together, stuffing lightly.
Embroider mouth and add felt circles as cheeks.
I was lucky to be given a REALLY cool crochet book by my lovely hubby Creepy Crochet and Christen Haden has a great website with additional patterns to go with those in her book HERE
This is the Corporate Zombie:
And this is Stig the Viking;
I've had a bit of thing about Crocheting fruit this week and found some fabulous FREE patterns online. I'm really pleased with the results!
Here is the APPLE PATTERN I just added eyes and embroidered a mouth (from the awesome Palnet June
HERE is the PEAR PATTERN from Planet June!
Here is the BANANA PATTERN with a PDF to download.
And I crochet another one of these little dudes for a friend but gave him a scarf to keep him warm in this winter weather! He remionds me of the Lemmings from the computer game that was all the rage in the 90's! He's another FREE pattern from Planet June HERE!
I just love his fuzzy hair and serious expression!
So that's what I've been upto lately!
Happy Crafting!
