Introduction
Hello and welcome to Pamela's Adoring Crochet! I'm Pamela, and I'm thrilled to have you here. Today, I want to share with you a few of my finished crochet projects. I've been receiving so many positive comments and emails from all of you, and I truly appreciate the support. So, let's jump right into it!
The Ugly Bunny
The first finished object that I want to show you is an adorable bunny that someone posted in my Facebook group page. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the written pattern, so I watched the video and wrote down the instructions to recreate it. I must say, the bunny turned out to be absolutely adorable! I decided to make it for my nephew, and my sister also requested one for her grandkids. It's a simple pattern, and I had a lot of fun making it.
The Sloths
Next up, let's talk about the sloths! I finished two of these cute little creatures, and I must admit, they have quickly become one of my favorite projects. I had actually promised my niece a sloth last year, and I finally got around to making it. I also wanted one for myself because they are just too cute to resist.
Different Sizes of the Sloths
Now, here's an interesting thing - despite using the same yarn and hook, one of the sloths turned out to be bigger than the other. I'm not sure what caused the size difference, but it doesn't bother me. In fact, I think it adds a unique touch to each of them. One of the sloths is going to my niece, and the other one is staying with me.
Modifying the Sloth Pattern
I did make a small modification to the sloth pattern. Specifically, I changed the way the hands/claws were made. In the original pattern, it was more time-consuming to crochet them in the round, so I came up with a simpler method. I chained a few stitches, slip stitched back down, and repeated the process to create the claws. This modification saved me a lot of time without compromising the final look of the sloth.
Yarn Used for the Sloths
Let's talk about the yarn I used for the sloths. For the body of the sloth, I used a taupe-colored yarn called "Big Twist" from Joann's. I just love how this color complements the overall look of the sloth. For the hat, I used a gold yarn from "Craft Smart," and for the off-white parts, I used "Red Heart Super Saver" in the color soft white. These yarn choices worked perfectly for this project, and I'm really happy with the result.
Conclusion
I hope you enjoyed seeing my finished crochet projects! The bunny and the sloths were such fun projects to work on, and I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Whether it's recreating a pattern from a video or making small modifications to suit my preferences, crochet brings me so much joy.
