turtle throw

http://pinterest.com/CreationsbyMalindaCo

First time making a throw using my brownee stitch! So totally fun and easy! 

My grandsons late Christmas 🎁 present. Hes my oldest grandson he is a fortnite fan so I thought why not try making a throw. So I did some internet investigating but all the patterns were too hard for me . My daughter then says he likes ninja 🐢 turtles do a ninja turtle throw so I did and this is my inspiration for this design! 

Pattern notes
1. Fairly repetitive single crochet and triple crochet is all is needed for you to know
2. I did a chain 1 on the alternating rows starting with chain 1 before a single crochet
3. I did a chain 3 for the opposite rows simple triple crochet in those rows
For the eyes you can easily do felt if you want to take an easier route. Just glue it with super adhesive fabric glue otherwise my pattern down below will show you how to do it.

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. 

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



Materials
Hook 3.5mm
Red heart super saver scrap yarn in ..
Black
Light blue
White
Red 
If dont have red heart no sweat 😓
Use what you have on hand 
Ornament hook (optional)
Fiber fill a good handful



Abbreviations

Sc2tog single crochet decrease
Rd. Round
Slst. Slip stitch
Ch. Chain
Hdc. Half double crochet


Swatch
Repeats. Sc , sc2tog , hdc
Approximately
70 yards in light blue
7 yards in white

You would love this project monster cozy but you can find him in my ravelry store
Just wanted you to see there is an option to use wiggly eyes instead of crochet eyes . 
Can find them in any craft store I got mine at dollar tree my favorite store! ❤💚💜💙💛

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 
Video on how to add hair https://youtu.be/l2rzXGLAhfc
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.

Seastar earrings

    This really cute idea came to me today trying to figure out new designs and for some reason I came up with earrings lol. Its a really fun quick gift for that special someone . I lucked out and had jewelry making materials already on hand but I know for sure you can get the hooks from any craft store. 
    I used to be in a jewelry business not too long ago and was gifted a jewelry kit in the package so I kept it figuring one day I might use it . 

    Have you ever used embroidery yarn its fun to use great for small projects. And inexpensive too for that matter

   Here is a picture of the finished items. I hope you like it.  Oh before I forget to mention I have another blog set up . This time its about me and my journey on living healthy and attempting to lose approximately 120+ pounds its long overdue. I chose to do something like this hoping to be accountable for myself and feeling better. This time Im not going to push myself so hard with the walking.
      So stay tuned and I will share when I get started on this journey on Sunday the 27th September 2020 .
