The Shtick I Do

A week or so ago, I came across this video by LoomaHat and really enjoyed watching it. I have a set of looms that are buried somewhere in my closet and since I didn't want to dig them out, I decided to crochet a version. Here's my take on a Crochet Comfort Doll. Comfort Doll before adding extras Materials: Worsted weight yarn in the colors of your choice I used 5 different colors in this sample doll small amount of black yarn for eyes small amount of pink yarn for lips extras such as buttons, lace, beads, etc for decorating FiberFill or ClusterStuff for the stuffing Pom-Pom maker of your choice (commercial, cardboard, fingers) Size I/9 5.5MM crochet hook Scissors Yarn needle Advanced beginner level project due to the color changes and needlework. Notes: For the color changes I followed this diagram posted on LoomaHat.com . The eyes, nose and mouth were all done by following the directions from the video link posted above.

My youngest niece, Anna, has her first birthday coming up in May. When I asked my sister what would be a good gift, she reminded me that I hadn't crocheted anything for her ... at all! Shame on me! So I decided on a soft lovey that she could cuddle anytime! We also have a bath towel that looks like a duck that we're going to send her but this thing is just too cute! I'm in love with it and I'm glad he gets to stick around for a couple more weeks before I have to mail him off. Do you fall in love with your works like that? Just can't seem to let them go? I do it all the time. Especially when it's animals. I hope you have a good yarn-y week and may you complete those WiP's you have floating around! Peace and blessings, ~~Karen~~

(This is a paid pattern) However, I did not use the hat pattern in this download because it seemed way too small when I was working it up. The hat pattern I used is a basic HDC stitch and I followed the sizing from Bev's Country Cottage hat sizes . Her sizes are more accurate in my opinion. I was (I thought) following the pattern for the flower but it somehow ended up with six petals instead of five. That's what I get for watching Netflix and crocheting, huh? =D I did make the flower detachable so it can be used as a hair clip (which is what it's glued to) or as an accessory for a scarf, purse, basically anything you want to clip it to.   My yarn choices are: Red Heart Super Save in White for the hat and part of the ears I Love This Yarn Metallic i...
