Grey dog

This is my last work, it is so cheerful and large.
This is the next stuffed toy which contains almost one meter of wadding!

I bought that grey wool for the first time and I don't regret. It is soft and nice to touch, the color looks great, but I don't have it any more because I've made this dog and kitchen hot pads (which I forgot to take a picture :( ).









Height: 31 cm, circuit of a head: 55 cm.

Little kitty

Mom made a new cat, but by this time she chose thinner needles and it is so small!
See yourself how sweet it is:


Length: 19 cm, height: 11 cm.

Thick teddy bear lady

Recently I have become an owner of a pompom yarn. Do you know what it is? If you don't you can see it in following photos.
It looks like bricks and I thought that I would make a fur with it.

Eventually I decided to make such a fatso :)
So much wadding ran out...






Height: 21 cm.

She has got a brother - barebones :D



Thin teddy bear

And that is the brother of our thick teddy bear lady.



He is much larger than she, but he is flat. He looks like form this old films or that animated ones.







Height: 30 cm.

Woolen hen

By this time I will show you my knitted hen, the result of hours spent with needles.
That is the biggest stuffed toy that I have made since now. It has no plastic and sharp elements, only wool, wadding and some thread.

Can you believe that I was making this hen for 11 hours? I can't, more than half of this time I was knitting flounces, but it is not strange because each of it I started with more than 150 loops.




Height: 45 cm lying down, and 28 cm sitting.

Crochet course - chain and joining stitch

Today we will learn how to crochet chain and how to join stitches in circle.

Chain

You should have a slip stitch already done.
Grub the yarn over and pull it trough the loop. 
And this is single chain.
Let's do the next one.
Grub the yarn over and pull it trough the loop. 
And so on.
That's how a chain looks like.

Since we have a chain, we will join it in a circle with joining stitch.

Joining stitch.

Have a hook in a last loop or last stitch.

Now put your hook right to the first chain or top of a first stitch.
Grub the yarn over and pull it trough two loops.
Pull the stitch and we have a circle :)
