Airplane Crochet Patten







This airplane has a nice little seat to add a rider!
The only thing I'd try to change if I made the airplane again is make the decrease rows of the nose (rounds 14-17) and seat (rounds 8-11) tighter so they don't bulge inward. On this "model", a lot of the seat is filled in by the decrease rows.

Using size 4 yarn (both white and blue), a size G/6-4.00 mm hook, and a button

The nose, windshield (this part is made with a different color), seat, and tail are all crocheted without needing to sew any pieces together.
Nose:

6. Ch 1, turn, 16 sc
7. Ch 1, turn, 16 SC, ch 5, attach in BLO of 1st st with a sl st

Begin stuffing
13. In FLO, sc, hdc, dc, (this next stitch will be done in the same stitch you just made the dc in and in the stitch you'll make the next dc - it's just to make the tail a bit more pointy) tc2tog, dc, hdc, in both loops sc2tog, dc3tog, pinch the remaining hole closed (making sure it is an up & down oval rather than a sideways oval), insert your hook through both sides of the oval, and sc2tog to close hole.
Finish off

In white:
1. In magic circle, 4 SC
2. (SC, (3 sc in next st))*2 - 8

*UPDATED* Farmer Dog in Bib Overalls Stuffed Animal Crochet Pattern






I made this dog and pattern a while back, but in the original post, I noted some changes I'd make if I ever made the dog again. I made another dog and here's the updated pattern. (I did leave the old pattern on the blog, but only for reference. This pattern is much better.)
One thing I did with this puppy is I gave it hinging legs so it could sit down (I used buttons for the hinges).

Dog Pattern:
Using Size 4 yarn and a size G/6-4.00 MM hook

Inc - For this pattern it always means 2 sc in 1 stitch.
Dec - For this pattern it always means sc2tog.
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
sc2tog - sc 2 together
BLO - back loop only
FLO - front loop only

Finish off.

Waist:

16: ch 1, sc around - finish off

Second leg: I started mine in the middle of the inside part of the leg so the seam wouldn't show. However, you could start anywhere on the leg and adjust the pattern accordingly.
1: working in the front loop of the chain, ch 2 in middle (4th) stitch (this counts as your 1st dc) then dc around - 29 (in the 5th dc - the 1st st in the back of the pants - I noticed a hole between the legs. So I made a dc2tog going through the st of the other leg and went on. I did the same for the front leg join.)
2: sl st 4, 22 dc, sl st 3
3: sl st in 1st st & ch 1, sc 29 - finish off

Straps: with the back of the dog facing me, I did the right strap first. I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 13 & 14. For the left strap, I counted back from the edge of the front panel and attached my strap between st 14 & 15.

Attach yarn & ch 20
Starting in 3rd ch from hook & working in back of chain: 6 dc, hdc, 9 sc, attach to next stitch in overalls.

Sew buttons onto front of overalls.

6-9 Month Baby Tennis Shoes Booties



I made these booties using a different sole than normal, but they should be easy to modify for my other size soles.

I loosely based my soles off of this pattern and the top off this pattern. The toe and upper patterns are a bit confusing, so it's helpful to look at the pictures from the pattern I based the upper part off of.

These shoes ended up being 4.5" long and 2.25" wide
Size 3 DK yarn & a 3.5 mm hook

Sole:
1: Ch 10, 2 hdc in 2nd chain from hook, hdc in next 7 st, 6 hdc in last st, 7 hdc in back loop of ch, 2 hdc in last st - 24

Join with sl st, ch 1, 2 hdc in each of next 2 st, 7 hdc, 2 hdc in each of next 6 st, 7 hdc, 2 hdc in each of next 2 st - 34

3: join with sl st, ch 1, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc in next st)*2, 7 hdc, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc in next st)*6, 7 hdc, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc in next st)*2 - 44

4: join with sl st, ch 1, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc)*2, 7 hdc, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc)*6, 7 hdc, (2 hdc in st, 1 hdc, 1 hdc)*2 - 54

Upper part:
5: join with sl st, ch 1, BPhdc around - 54
6: join with sl st, ch 1, hdc around - 54
7: join with sl st, ch 1, sc around - 54
Finish off

Toe:
Mark off front 26 st, then begin at front right marker. *Keep markers in for later*
8: ch3, (dc2tog)*12, 1 dc in last st, turn - 14
9: ch3, (dc2tog)*7, 1 dc in last st, turn - 9
10: ch 1, sc8tog, pull knot tight, then finish off.

Tongue:
11: Beginning at front, right side, ch 1, 12 sc evenly across toe, turn - 12
12: ch 1, sc in same st, 1sc in each st across, turn. - 12
13: ch1, sc in same st, 1sc in next 10sts, 2 sc in last st, turn - 13
14-15: repeat row 13
16-18: repeat row 12
Finish off

Upper shoe:
Counting from the right marker 2 st towards toe, join yarn

19: ch1, 1sc in same st, 1sc in next st (where marker is), 1sc in each next remaining 28 sts, 1sc into stitch marker place, 1sc in next st, ch 1, turn - 32

20: skip 1st st, 1sc in next st, 1sc in next 11 sts, dc2tog in next, 1sc in next 2 sts, sc2tog in next, 1 sc in next remaining sts, ch1, turn - 29

21: skip 1st st, 1sc in each st across, ch1, turn - 28

22: skip 1st st, 1sc in next 11 sts, sc2tog in next, 1sc in next st, sc2tog in next, 1 sc in next remaining sts, ch1, turn - 25

23: skip 1st st, 1sc in each st across, ch1, turn - 24

Baby Booties Tennis Shoes

 










I used this pattern for my shoes:
https://crochetcrosiahome.blogspot.com/2016/08/crochet-baby-converse-booties.html?m=0

My yarn was DK weight, size 3 yarn, and I used a 3.5mm E hook, so my dimensions ended up being:
3.5" long, 2" wide, 2.5" tall 
I ended up using leather thong for the laces.

Original Farmer Dog in Bib Overalls Stuffed Animal Crochet Pattern

**I've updated this pattern and am just keeping this for records and reference. The updated pattern works better.**








I still had some brown and blue thread I needed to use up after I finished Peter Rabbit, so I made this puppy in overalls. I started using two different patterns for the puppy then just gave up and made up the pattern.
The pattern I ended up making is below. The only thing I would change if I made this puppy again is I would make its tummy more of a ball then make the legs longer and put them directly underneath the tummy. The way this tummy is makes it so the puppy can't sit down. It also makes him wider, so the pants have to be baggier to fit him.

Inc - For this pattern it always means 2 sc in 1 stitch.

I used The Labrador Site's leg pattern (& left out row 6) for the front legs.

2: Inc around - 12
3: (sc, Inc) around - 18
4: (2 sc, Inc) around - 24

8: 12 sc, (Dec)*3 - 15
9-22: sc around - 15
23: turn then sc through both the front and back stitch across - about 7
Make sure the flat part will lay against the body of the dog and allow the "paw" to face forward.
Finish off, leaving a long tail.


Tail: Here is the pattern that I made for my tail. Next time I would use the pattern below this one.
1: 4 sc in a magic circle
2: sc around - 4
3: (sc, Inc)*2 - 6
4: (2 sc, Inc)*2 - 8
5: (3 sc, Inc)*2 - 10
6-22 (or until desired length): sc around - 10
Sl st in next stitch then finish off, leaving a long "tail" 😉.


Tail #2: The tail that I made was a bit to skinny and long for my dog. Also, the tip wasn't quite right. Next time I'll try the pattern below.

1: 4 sc in a magic circle
2: sc around - 4
3: (sc, Inc)*2 - 6
4: sc around - 6
5: (2 sc, Inc)*2 - 8
6: (3 sc, Inc)*2 - 10
7: (4 sc, Inc)*2 - 12
8-21: sc around - 12
sl st in next stitch then finish off, leaving a long tail.


Sew parts together and embroider the eyes and face.








Overall Pattern:
This pattern will definitely need adjusting for another dog, but it worked perfectly for mine. I used #3 light blue yarn, so the yarn was smaller than the yarn I used for the dog. I used the same hook, though.
This pattern is made so you don't have to sew any parts together. The only downfall is that the seam is in the front. I suppose you could make the front panel (through row 3) then finish off, chain 20, sl st across the DCs, then chain 20 more. This would make the seam be in the back.
My dog's tail was also 1 stitch off center so the pattern may need to be adjusted 1 stitch starting from the tail hole down.
(Every time you make a (sl st, ch 2) make the 1st DC in the same stitch.)
Ch 13
1:1st row will be done working on the chain upside down. Starting in the 3rd ch from hook, DC across - 11
2: ch 2, turn, DC across - 11
3: ch 2, turn, DC across then ch 40
4-8: join with sl st to other side, ch 2, DC across
9: join with sl st, ch 2, 28 DC, ch 5 (skip 5 stitches for the dog's tail.), 18 sc
10-12: join with sl st, ch 2, DC around
Without cutting your yarn, you will start on the first leg.
13: sl st 6, ch 10, flatten the overalls and begin working directly across from your last sl st (this will split the overalls in half for the legs.) sl st 19
14: sl st, ch 2, 6 dc, BLO 10 DC, 19 DC
15: DC around
16: sc around, then finish off with an invisible join and weave in tail.

Now you will start on the other leg.
Starting at the front, sl st around to middle. (You will not have done the middle, connecting part yet.)
1: You will now be starting each row at the back of the pants. Ch 2 then FLO 10 DC, Both loops dc around
2: Ch 2, DC around
3: Ch 1, sc around.
Finish off with the invisible join and weave in tail.



Straps: You will make 2 - This pattern works for the tiny, craft buttons. If you want to use larger buttons, you will need to use hdc or dc.
Starting about 3 stitches away from the tail hole, join the yarn to the top, back of the overalls, ch 24
Starting in the 3rd ch from hook, sc across. Join to top of overalls, finish off and weave in tail.


Sew buttons on to the front, then you are finished!

18" Doll Cardigan or Vest

This is the pattern I used for the doll cardigan.



Peter Rabbit Crochet Amigurumi Pattern




This rabbit was a conglomeration of 7 different patterns, so I wrote out the combined pattern below.
I was using up odds and ends so I ended up using #3 light blue yarn and #4 dark brown yarn. The sweater was a teeny bit tight, so I think using #4 light blue yarn would work better. Also, if you are trying to replicate Peter Rabbit, light brown thread would be a bit better.

Mouse with a Dress

I made this mouse using the patterns below. I put a pipe cleaner and stuffing in the arms, legs, and tail so it would be more bendable.

Mouse pattern
Dress pattern - I made a variation on this dress. I added sleeves and made the dress longer. It has buttons, so it can be removed easily.
I just found a simple flower pattern for her flower.

Tiny Peony Flower Barrette


This is a flower barrette I made using 3 peony flowers crocheted from this pattern.
I used the larger flower pattern and used 1 strand of embroidery thread. They ended up being about 1/4 of an inch wide.
After I made all three, I sewed them onto the barrette.
