Vintage Granny Square Baby Blanket by Malloo Knitwear

We all know that fashion comes and goes. What today is considered modern tomorrow might feel old school and vice versa. Well, fashion from the 60’s and the 70’s is back! Remember the classic granny square blanket?

It’s one of the most used crochet patterns, ever! This time it’s coming with a little twist. A solid granny square baby blanket. One of the easiest (and cheapest) baby blankets you are going to make. I only used 4 skeins of La Mia Wool Easy and even had some leftover yarn. Amazing! 

Materials:

4 Skeins of La Mia Wool Easy
US I/5.5 mm crochet hook
Tapestry Needle
Scissors

Strawberry-san The Berry Girl Amigurumi by Amigurumei

Happy International Amigurumi Day!

For the first time in history, amigurumi has a special day all to itself and we’re delighted to join in on the celebration.

Do you remember making your first ever amigurumi? Did it feel magical, that with just a hook and yarn, that you could create almost anything — a bear, a cat, a puppy, or simply rainbows, unicorns and the cutest of dolls?

Take a moment to think about how making amigurumi has changed your life.

And if you’re looking for a new project to kickstart an all-new amigurumi adventure, we have the sweet, squishy one waiting for you.

Please meet Strawberry-san, possibly the sweetest berry girl you’ll ever chance upon in this lifetime.

We absolutely enjoyed working with the super-squishy Yarnart Jeans Plus yarn for this project, plus we added a little sparkle with Kartopu Melange Wool Luxe.

To make your Strawberry-san stand out, it is of the utmost importance to choose the palest of pinks and pairing it with the prettiest of mint/baby blue yarn for the leaves. This colour combination will give it the sweetest finishing touch.

Tag us at #strawberrygirl #hobium #amigurumei #hobiumyarns when you’re done with making one!

To make Strawberry-san, you will need:

Yarnart Jeans Plus yarn in pink
Kartopu Melange Wool Lux in light blue
Kartopu Love Cotton in white
Dmc Natura Just Cotton in purple
Gazzal Organic Baby Cotton in pink
4mm crochet hook
2.5mm crochet hook
Black crochet thread
Stuffing
Tapestry needle

Emi The Tree Sprite by Anniegurumi

Hi, I am Annie (@anniegurumi) and I’m here to share with you the latest creation my son and I made. 

This is Emi the Tree Sprite. She’s a curious and sweet soul, during the day she hides as a tree. During this time she loves seeing humans passing by and especially the children who play amongst the wild flowers. She noticed a few children dancing while singing and she wanted to do that more than anything.

When the moonlight shines and the day has gone, Emi feels free to come out and dance just like the children she loves so much. When it’s time for the sun to come out, she goes back into hiding so she doesn’t scare the humans who frequent where she lives.

Materials:

La Mia Cottony:
Beige
Pink
La Mia Pastel in White
Kartopu Extra Soft Yarn in Green
6mm amigurumi eyes (2 of them)
Crochet Hook 2.75mm, 9mm
Tapestry Needle
Stitch Marker
