Crochet Hugs
The idea for Crochet Hugs came about as an add on to the Crochet Blankets I like to make for New Babies.
After finishing a Crochet Blanket a couple of years ago I decided to make a little something extra out of the leftover yarn from that Project.
A few years ago. I made a Teddy out of my Grandson's outgrown Jacket.
A Girl Teddy was next. To go with a Blanket I had made from outgrown baby clothes.
I can't remember why I made the first Crochet Teddy. But he also belongs to my Grandson.
Oh! I just remembered. The first Crochet Hug I made was a Little Friend for Tonka. Tonka is the Bear above made from William's Tonka Coat. Do you remember Tonka Toys?
My Favourite Patchwork and Crochet Shape is a Square. So it seemed a simple step for me to make a Square or Square ish teddy. But to me they are not quite Teddies. So I started calling them Crochet Things.
That didn't sound very appealing. They are made for Hugging. So slowly I started calling them Crochet Hugs.
They are very simple to make.
The one above is made using all the colours in in a Baby Blanket I made.
The one below is just a tad subtler.
I like to sew the filling into a fabric 'pillow' that I insert into the body and head when I have almost finished Stitching the front & back together.
The arms and legs are left unstuffed.
That way there's no possibility of the stuffing being pulled out.
Crochet Hug Family
I have recently been making a Crochet Hug Family for my Grandson Sammy.
And I'm currently working on Nana & Bampa.
Meet Nana & Bampa
Fresh off my Hook. Nana & Bampa in the Garden.
I have to admit those glasses make Nana look a bit Harry Potter ish.
Daisy Dog
Daisy is out in the Garden head up sniffing the air.
Say Cheese
I'm sure they will be added to. They are so quick and east to make. Just rows of single Crochet (double Crochet in the US).
