It's pattern release tiiime! This pattern might not be as popular as my pokemon patterns, but it holds such a special place in my heart. Giraffodil Glaze was designed with my daughter in mind - her Auntie took her to the zoo when she was 2 and she instantly fell in love with Giraffes. She's now 3 and has been to the zoo again and still loves them! I had to design something for her with that in mind. This pattern is customizable - with the options to sew on spots or embroider flowers and such. You can create a life preserver, or a cute little donut! She is now available in my Etsy shop - the link is in my bio, and will be on sale all weekend to celebrate her release! While you're there, check out my other patterns - while Giraffodil Glaze will be on sale for 50% off, all my other patterns will be 25% off as well to celebrate🩷 Thank you to my testers! You all did such an amazing job and I'm so glad I got the chance to work with you all. @mysweetcrochetcorner @crocheted.by.erin @hookedonsalma @yarnedd.up @cozycraftcorner @perla_blanca_tejidos @crochet_misara

I've been wanting to make this pattern for a long time - I have one regret... Feels Like Bliss was not a great yarn for this much sewing😭 but it turned out so incredibly cute and I'm so happy about it! Akari Pattern from @lemoncatcrochet

I wanted to share some extra photos of the Squishies/Stress balls! If you're interested in testing any of these cuties, check my previous post☺️🖤

TESTER CALL: Closed They're here and ready for testing~ These started as a fun fidget for my students but they've become an obsession for me to make and I'm stoked to share them. As you can see, these can be made with squishy stress balls inserted into them, or they can be stuffed and sewn at the bottom to function as a regular plush or stress ball. That said: those interested in testing them with squishy inserts, I have gone ahead and listed the exact info of what I used. You do not have to use the exact same yarn or Squishies, but I do not know how well the pattern will transfer between varying materials. I am fine extending the deadline if it is due to needing to wait for materials to arrive. The yarn I used is the @lilys.loop.crochet 2mm Velvet Chenille with a 1.5mm hook. I used squishy stress balls from Amazon that are about 1.4-1.7 inches. The smaller stress balls do not fit AS snug, but they do still function! Swipe through the pages for more info. To apply: Follow me Comment that you'd like to test and tell me which one you're most excited for. Optional but appreciated: Share to your stories and tag a friend or 2 who may be interested🖤

I am not normally this late, but it's my own doing😭 Here is the release and tester appreciation for my Beagle Snuggler pattern! As you may be able to see, there are ways in which you may decide to make yours different - from the toes, to the legs, to whether or not you stuff it, I tried to make the design flexible! Thank you so much to my testers; without you this wouldn't be possible. This pattern is currently available on my Etsy and will be added to Kofi as soon as possible - it is also currently on Sale! Through Sunday, you can get this pattern for 40% off and all other active listings for 25% off🖤 (ps I'm trying to add the tags and it's glitching - if you're my tester and I didn't tag you I'm trying I promise😭)

This was such an adorable pattern test for @memorylaynedesign The moment I saw this pattern I had to apply for the test and being chosen was the highlight of my week. I made this one for my youngest daughter - she wears and loves a lot of greens so that impacted my color choices. Now I'm absolutely positive I need to make one using red and terracotta for my older daughter because this is just too cute of a pattern to resist. This pattern releases today, so make sure you check it out if you think this pattern is as cute as I do🖤

I love this little cutie SO much. This is the chubby duck pattern from @crochetbyjanina - I'm not sure if y'all can tell by the way.. but I've been in love with her patterns and I make them relatively frequently😂

Finally posting this because I finally finished it😅 I couldn't figure out what yarn I wanted to use for the antlers and I'm really happy with what I ended up with. I absolutely love this little pattern from @sweetbriecreations - Willow the Jackalope Eyes are from @fromdaviseditions Oh also the pattern didn't call for a tail but I have a ton of Sheepy yarn from Bernat so.. I had to😂

This is such an adorable and fun pattern that I got to test for @maris_stuffies - Hudson the Highland. I absolutely adore highland cows, I'd easily fill my farm with them. Such a pleasure to have tested, and I would highly recommend the pattern for an easy, adorable, but also unique and precious cow🖤🖤

I find it kinda funny that this is the second time I've made Alice "wrong," but I can explain! The first time was an accident. But.. someone saw it, loved it, and asked for the same bunny in red and black. Honestly, the colors were not looking how I hoped as I made it, but I'm glad I trusted the vision because this turned out to be such a cute bun bun! I highly recommend the Alice the Clown Bunny pattern from @hollysyarncreations - mine is made in skinny chenille, so if you make yours in any bigger of yarn, it will be much more sizeable (which is great if you sell - I don't make a business out of crochet, so I really just sell here and there)
