Cute Crochet Dolls

I love Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn and I visit their website often in search of potholder or dishcloth patterns. I know they have tons of awesome patterns, but I didn't realize they also have free amigurumi patterns.  Either they are new, or I just wasn't paying attention, but in any case I was delighted to run across these free crochet doll patterns today on their site! 

This "Born on the 4th of July" doll is a day late for Independence day, but hey, there's always next year.  I think she's adorable!  Click here for the free pattern!

This "Fun in the Sun" doll is my favorite.  I love her little dress and look at those little shoes! Even the look on her face is just too cute! Click here for the pattern! 

This little one is called the "Mother Nature" doll.   Very sweet!  Click here for the free pattern!

And last but not least, the "Denim Doll".  Click here for the free pattern!

Ok, technically this isn't a "doll" , but this little amigurumi tiger was just too cute to leave out!

I can't believe it's already July and I'm starting to think about my Christmas crochet projects.  Each year I vow to start earlier than the year before but somehow I just can't get motivated when it's 90+ degrees outside.  We'll see!

Thanks for visiting, as always, and I hope you have a terrific day!

Crochet Yourself a Ring

Want a quick little project that's super easy and whips up in a flash?  Check out this crocheted ring I made recently in under 30 minutes!  I haven't ever really been one for crocheted jewelry, although I do think that some of it is lovely and unique, but when I ran across this pattern link I was intrigued and decided to give it a try.

 
 There are three different ring patterns included in the PDF, however I only tried one because the other two were too large for my liking.  So here is my version of the ring in two different colors:

They are very cute and surprisingly comfortable!  So if you're looking for a quick project to break the routine, try one of these rings on for size!  You can get the downloadable PDF here.
