Granny Square Turkey Joins the Flock

November 7, 2024 by ·

Birds of a Feather is wildly popular…and now the granny square chicken pattern includes a variation for the Turkey. Gobble, Gobble! Not only does the pattern include the crochet turkey, but a mini crochet pumpkin to go with it.

The crochet turkey stuffed animal has an iconic blue head and a snood along the beak. This amigurumi turkey also has more tail feathers than some of the other birds in the crochet chicken pattern.

The mini pumpkin is quick to make. We used mini bobbles every other row to give it a gourd like bumpy rib.

Both the turkey and pumpkin are crocheted with medium worsted weight yarn. They are pictured above in Lion Brand Heartland Yarn.

Positive Potato’s Cousin: Sassy Spud with 10 Hats

November 1, 2024 by ·

Positive Potato has a cousin and her name is Sassy Spud. She has lots of hats for various special occasions and several hats just for fun. All total, Sassy Spud has 10 hats and 75+ printable signs. You can attach a permanent sign or create one with elastic so you can change out her greeting.

As an added bonus, there are instructions for putting walking feet on Sassy Spud.

Sassy Spud is quick and easy to make. She measures only 2.75” tall x 1.75” wide x 1.5” deep without a hat. She definitely qualifies as amigurumi…which basically means crochet toy. We designed her with basic stiches and basic techniques. There will be some increases by working 2 single crochet in the same stitch and decreases by single crocheting 2 together. On occasion there will be working in front loop only. The dragon tail has a double crochet cluster. But for the most part, basic crochet skills are all you need to make the crochet potato and hats.

There are 10 hats for Sassy Spud. And they are all interchangeable. You could sew them on permanently, but they are designed to be changed out. The crochet hats for Sassy Spud include:

  • Birthday Cap
  • Christmas Santa Cap
  • Halloween Witch Hat
  • Easter Bunny Spring Bonnet
  • Pirate / Tricorn Hat
  • Valentine Pom Pom Beanie with Heart
  • Unicorn Beanie
  • Dragon Beanie
  • Straw Hat with Bow

Materials Needed to Make Sassy Spud the Crochet Potato

The materials needed to make Positive Potato’s cousin, Sassy Spud, are pretty minimal: yarn, crochet hook, safety eyes and stuffing. The hats take a extra colors, of course. And since the unicorn hat has a rainbow of colors for it’s mane, you’ll need even more colors when making that crochet hat.

  • Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Sport, 100% superwash merino wool, 50 g/1.75 oz, 136.5 yds/125 m
    Potato: Extra Crème Café #873, Chocolate #819, Black #815

  • Crochet Hook: B/1/2.25 mm
  • Navy Beans or Fiber Fill / Stuffing
  • 6 mm safety eyes: 2
  • Stitch Markers: 3
  • 1 mm elastic in white: 12” (optional)
  • Small beads for pirate hat (optional)
  • Fishing wire for beading strand for pirate hat. (optional)
  • Pet comb (optional) for pirate hair
  • Walking Feet Toy (optional) on Amazon

As noted above, we used Cascade Yarns 220 Superwash Sport. We love this yarn because it’s thinner than medium worsted weight yarn and it comes in a wide variety of colors. You can usually find this yarn at independent yarn shops across the USA.

Sassy Spud is Nice and Spicy Nice

Sassy Spud has a tendency to reflect our own personality. Sometimes she can be very nice with sayings such as:

  • YUKON Do It.
  • You’re SPUDtacular.
  • I YAM proud of you.
  • Be Kind.

Sometimes Sassy Spud can be spicy nice. You know…a bit more saucy with sayings such as:

  • Watch This, Hold My Beer.
  • It Could Be Worse.
  • No…You…Didn’t.
  • I Don’t Think So.
  • Whatever
  • Per My Last Email

Because Sassy Spud has hats for various special occasions, she also has seasonal greetings such as:

  • They Say It’s Your Birthday.
  • Happy Halloween to My Favorite Ghoul.
  • Merry Christmas.
  • Happy Festivus.

There are over 75 printable greetings in this Sassy Spud crochet pattern. There are also a couple of blank signs so you can write your own greeting. All printable greetings are rated G and are appropriate for all audience.

More About the Viking Gnome Pin Loom Pattern

This Viking Gnome Pattern, like our other gnome patterns, begins with a helpful chart listing the total number of pin loom shapes you’ll need for the project. This allows you to sit and weave all the squares and rectangles before you begin. Of course, you can weave them as you need them, or weave them all prior to beginning assembly.

There are two very small sections of crochet in this project. Single crochet (US terms) is used in both areas. The grey at the ends of the horns are crocheted, this is where the horn meets the helmet. The edge of the shield is also crocheted. This joins two pieces together and creates and “ironwork” edge.

About the Statue of Liberty and the Gnome

Liberty Enlightening the World is a statue more commonly referred to as the Statue of Liberty. Libertas, the Roman Goddess of Liberty, holds a torch and tablet, and stands in New York Harbor. She is a copper statue, given to the United States by France, and dedicated in 1886. There is a broken chain and shackle at her feet symbolizing the abolition of slavery in the United States. Though this gnome only has 5, Liberty has 7 rays forming a halo that represent the sun, the seven seas and the seven continents. There are 25 windows in the crown for viewing the harbor (the gnome has 11).

This gnome has a simple construction with components added to it that represent elements on the real statue. For instance, the Statue of Liberty is wearing robe, the gnome is wearing a sash. The halo, or rays, on the gnome is a band attached to the hat. Little bits of felt create the windows.

More about the Hammerhead Shark Pattern

This pattern stands out from the rest because it includes all the little details that make this so realistic. It has all 8 fins common to Hammerhead Sharks and even includes the notch on the caudal (tail) fin.

The pattern includes 4 pages of templates. The body of the shark spans 2 page so the template pieces will need to be cut out and taped together. The template includes a 1″ scale so you know if it’s printing at full size. Reduce or enlarge the pages to make a smaller or larger stuffed animal.

We’ll include helpful tips throughout like where to start and stop sewing. What tools might make a step easier. The templates are clearly labeled and easy to follow.

The fins are made with a layer of felt or stabilizer which helps them stay rigid yet soft and huggable.

Hammerhead Sharks usually have a litter of pups…so you may need to make more than one!

Want to know more?

We’ve given this pattern an “easy” rating. It’s a great project for a beginner. However, there are quite a few pieces to sew so you’ll need to set aside a few hours to complete it. We purposefully designed this clownfish sewing pattern to be easy, approachable and fun for sewing enthusiasts of all ages.

There are different kinds of felt: synthetic, wool, wool blends. We talk about that briefly in the pattern.

We include various tips and tricks for things we’ve learned as we’ve stitched our own school of clownfish stuffed animals.

The pattern uses two sewing stitches: whip stitch and applique stitch. We’ve included links to some videos that demonstrate those stitches in case you’re not already familiar with them.

We’ve photographed our hand sewn clownfish in a coral reef that was hand made with yarn on pin looms. There is no pattern for this scene, but there is a pin loom pattern for a gnome with hammerhead shark hat in our Etsy Shop.
