Puppy hat

I started this a couple of days ago, but since I was trying to find "warm brown" so I could make this just like it was in the pattern, I didn't finish it until the first of January.

Of course I still didn't find the brown the pattern used but this is still cute.

the puppy has a heart on his collar and real animal eyes. I was afraid you would feel the eyes through the hat, but you don't, it is as soft as he looks. I stuffed the cheeks with non-allergic fiber stuffing, and I'm thinking about adding a tail.

Hello Kitty hat

The last thing I crocheted in 2011 was this cute "pretty in pink" Hello Kitty hat.

She has a big pink bow, matching the ribbing on the bottom of the hat.

I was even thinking about making the ribbing white, and the bow detachable for hair clip reasons. That will happen with the next hat, pretty bow for the hat on cold days, and pretty hair clip for warm days.

The Christmas Stocking


These are the Christmas stockings I made for my Family, my youngest stepson got a Spongebob stocking.

My husband got a Superman stocking with a cape, my husband is a very big Superman fan, so I thought about great detail, and hoped the cape would make it ever more special.

This is the back of the Superman stocking, I put the cape on so it would be more on the back side, so you still can see the symbol on the front.

My oldest stepson got a Spiderman stocking. First I thought about putting on the eyes only, but then I went with the spider symbol instead, but there is always next Christmas. ;)

For me, I was less creative. I didn't really know what I should crochet for my Christmas stocking, so I just made a simple german flag stocking.



The Flash - Reverse Flash Pillow

For the other nephew of my co-worker I made this Flash pillow.

It is also double edged with yellow on the Flash side and red on the Reverse Flash side.

It was the first time I heard of the reversed Flash, and I always watched the show as I was little. But it is pretty easy, it is just reversed colors, and I think it looks pretty rocking awesome. :)

The Green Lantern Pillow

This is a pretty easy and simple pillow for a co-workers nephew.

The pillow has a double edge (green-black).

The back side is plain black since the Green Lantern has some black on his suit.

The Spiderman Pillow

This pillow is for my oldest stepson, he is a huge Spiderman fan, more of the black one, or Venom, then the nice red suited Spidey.

So I made one side red, and the other black, since the red suited hero has some blue on him, I thought of blue edging.

I also wanted the pillow to have something to play with, so I attached a spider that could have bit Peter Parker and turned him.

I call the spider "Fred", Fred the friendly spider. I attached him with white crocheted, sparkle yarn that sorta looks like a spider web. Fred can stand on his 8 legs and has tiny little black eyes.

The Princess Pillow Lizzy

This sweet looking Princess came together after I showed the Spongebob around at work, and a co-worker asked me if I could make a Princess for her 2 year old niece. Since a Princess is not at all a square I had to invent a whole new pattern as I went further along, it kind of came together.

I call this Princess "Elisabeth", "Lizzy" for short. She has a hat and a crown, puffy sleeves like the Disney Princesses, and a name across her butt. She took me about 2 weekends and a couple of hours during the week, the hardest thing was putting everything together.

I even attached hair because I am sure little girls like to play with hair just as much as I do. I know I said I wouldn't make another one of these unless I was asked to, but I think I might make a Princess with a blue dress, brown eyes and dark hair. Stay tuned for that Princess Pillow, which probably will be on www.etsy.com/shop/dunawaycrafts .
