Amigurumi Elmo and More Free Pattern Links!

Hi everyone! I'm still plugging away on my crochet-a-long squares, as well as my little amigurumi doll, which is very close to being finished and ready to share with all of you - yay! During my blog hopping today I came across some really adorable and free amigurumi and crochet patterns that I couldn't wait to share with you.

Cosmo and Wanda dolls from the kids television show, "Fairly Odd Parents".

April Draven always has some of the most amazing crochet designs and these dolls are no exception! These are absolutely just too cute. Grab the pattern here, and be sure to check out her website while you're there! She is so talented!

This little amigurumi monkey captured my heart. I think his face is so sweet! Get the pattern here.

I have a thing for crocheted baskets. I just love them. I found the free pattern for these on the Design Sponge Website. I really like these colors, and the color could be coordinated to whatever room you will use them in. They're so perfect for small odds and ends! The pattern for these baskets is here.

If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I'm "hooked" on crochet dolls. In fact, they are my very favorite crochet projects. This doll is Abby from the TV show "NCIS", and it's an amazing likeness to her! She was designed by the very talented Maggie Vassie over at A Crochet Ninja.

"Link" from Zelda doll. Another fantastic design by Maggie Vassie. Get the free pattern and check out her blog here.

Look at this adorable Amigurumi Elmo Doll, also by Maggie Vassie at A Crochet Ninja. This is great!

This purse is so pretty and unique. If I start now I could finish it before Spring when the real roses start blooming! Want one? Grab the pattern here.

I love crocheted book covers, they seem to make reading even more enjoyable than it already is! You can get the pattern here.

Little Ducky Rattle...cute!

Be sure to visit the blogs of these very talented designers, you'll be glad you did.

Ok, time for me to get busy and finish my little doll. Thanks for visiting as always, and

My Crochet "Favrielle" Doll Makes Her Debut!

I've been working on my latest crochet doll for what seems like months and finally she is completed. This "Favrielle" doll is from the Gourmet Crochet pattern collection. She is 22" tall, and such a cutie!

She took quite a bit longer than I originally thought she would because the pattern was very detailed. There were so many pieces to be sewn together!

I really like the way she turned out, and I'm sure I will eventually crochet more of these dolls in varying colors. But, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and of course Christmas quickly approaching, I have way too many projects on my "to-do" list to start such a detailed project right now.

I love how "busy" she is, with all the colors and pieces of her outfit. The stripes on her legs were a bit of a challenge, with so many color changes, but I managed to work my way thru it. Her shoes have cardboard cutouts inserted, and with her legs being stuffed so tightly, she can actually stand up with very minimal support.

I used black "fun fur" yarn for the brim of her hat, and also for her neck ruffle.

I think she would be the perfect gift for a little girl....or an older girl for that matter!

Thanks for stopping by and meeting "Favrielle"!

I've got a few ideas rolling around in my head for the original doll I started while I was at the beach.

I'm thinking of giving her curly Q hair, which will be another crochet "first" for me, so any tips would be greatly appreciated! I also have a few ideas for her outfit, so stay tuned for the finished project.

Thanks for visiting, as always!
