Sally

Start off by saying hi to everyone!! Iam really excited about this CAL we are doing . Sally was a pure delight she came together really good . She is 10 inches in circumference and 3 inches in height not including the wavy hair 😆 😆 😆
  
She is stuffed with fiber fill if you choose.  You can use other fillings. I used a 3.5mm hook . use stitch markers if you have them or do like me and use a piece of yarn . 

Start off with light blue . All of this project is using scrap yarn . Colors black white and red .  I love making amigurumi see it take shape before your eyes . The decorating part is the best.

1. Only in round 1 you will do a slip stitch.
2. Continuous rounds for the remainder of the pattern

Eyes (2 of them)
Ch2
White
In 2nd ch 8hdc (8hdc)
Slst leave tail to sew in 

Pupils 
Using a piece of black yarn simply hand sew in 
I personally come from the back of the head to give the eye a more secure pupil .(watch video.


Nose 
Same as pupil
Using a piece of black yarn I hand sewn the nose start by entering in the back of the head . When you exit the back of the head to continue to the 2nd nostril just re insert the yarn needle being sure to grab yarn just a little so it's not seen in the back of the head 
(As seen here and in video for further instructions)

Lips 
Top lip 
Red 
Ch2 
3hdc in 2nd ch do not slst or break simply ch2 then 3hdc in that 2nd ch 
(Just ignore the 1st section like its not there )


Bottom lip 
Red 
Ch2 
3hdc in 2nd ch (3hdc)
Slst leave tail to sew on 


Hair
All I did was cut 14 strads of the red . You fill the hair section as full as your desire amount.
Simply cut sections of 6 or 7 inch strands. 
Using your hook simply fold the yarn in half

Otherwise in my 2nd video I also show how you do it . 
As you can see the yarn is from a project I never finished. So because of that it curled. No curling iron needed 😆 😆 sorry I crack myself up sometimes . 
Last step to this fun project 
Not a must but adds another way if you don't have an ornament hook 
Ch21 coming back down the ch starting in the 2nd ch do a sc in each leave tail sew 2 ends together to form a loop then handsew in to top of Sally in the middle of the head.

Baby boy blanket

 Granny squares are fun to make. Sure it has you crocheting in a square form but it later makes a beautiful creation. I made this baby blue ...
