I love how easily the Shawn the Shark pattern worked up! I decided to go rogue and make mine in super bulky yarn, and it turned out so big and cuddly! It really drew a ton of attention at my last market and sold within the first few hours. I am already working on making more of these sharks for my upcoming fall markets.

No-Sew Axolotl – Crochet Pattern Review
When I found Stitch by Fay’s No-Sew Axolotl pattern, I knew immediately that it would be perfect! Not only does it use exactly the right colors of yarn, but it is super adorable! I had the wonderful opportunity to see a real-life axolotl that was a classroom pet at the school I used to teach at, and I have to say that this pattern looks pretty realistic too! I’m super impressed by how easily the pattern works up, and I can’t wait to make these little cuties on repeat for my upcoming markets!

Poppy Pig – Crochet Pattern Review
love how realistic the Poppy Pig pattern turns out. The finished stuffie is a cute and friendly-looking pig with a curious look on its face and all the important features. The curly tail, the details in the snout, and the floppy ears are all perfect characteristics. I can’t wait to debut this adorable pig stuffie at my upcoming fall markets.
Pacific Disc Stingray – Crochet Pattern Review
I have no good reason for making this stingray other than it is adorable! I was perusing Etsy for some new patterns when this little creature popped up on my feed and I was instantly in love! His big eyes, his squishy body and his tiny smile stole my heart and I had to make one of my own…which was then promptly confiscated by my daughter for the same irresistible reasons. Even the dog wanted him for herself!
Large Divided Dice Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
This is a very creative pattern! I appreciated the techniques used in this pattern like how to get a nice even circle without awkward corners. If you’re worried about a lot of sewing, it really isn’t as bad as it looks! You join most of the pieces together with crochet, instead of sewing with your needle. I also like that it has a fun texture on the sides of the main bag as well.
Bobble Pop Fidget Toy – Crochet Pattern Review
Fidget toys are nothing new. But when I came across this, I was drawn to it for a couple specific reasons: when the bobbles “pop” it is quiet. I know that the satisfying popping sound can be part of the allure to the traditional toys. But when the kids (or grown-ups, if we are being honest) need something to tinker with but sound isn’t appropriate, this is an excellent alternative. I also like that it has a different texture than smooth silicone. It’s still soft yet coarse; great for those with sensory-seeking needs.
Turtle Memory Game – Crochet Pattern Review
The Turtle Memory Game crochet pattern by Stitched by Shari includes directions to make a bag-like mama turtle that holds 12-20 baby turtles. Each of the babies has a colored circle on its belly, and the babies are made in pairs so kids of all ages can practice matching with them. This pattern is such an ingenious idea, that it is no wonder it has blown up in popularity!
Cheeseburger Bag – Crochet Pattern Review
This pattern has been one of my absolute favorite makes in the past year or so. I had fun making it, I truly enjoyed each step, and I love the look of the finished result.
Belly Friend Giraffe – Crochet Pattern Review
This Belly Friend Giraffe by Madeline Mae Co. is not only one of the cutest stuffed toys ever, but it’s chunky belly and massive size make it quite the showstopper! This is my fourth time working up this pattern, and I absolutely love how the finished pattern turns out every time!
