Amigurumi - Backtoschool Bunny

By now I am very fascinated with making Amigurumi dolls. I made this Bunny for my friend's daughter, who is Abhi's friend.

I used pink beads on the red wool body. and a small bag says it all...!!!!

Another Crocheted sachet

Materials needed

Scrap wool yarn - any colour

plastic flowers, leaves etc

You can also use these sachets for keeping flowerdust, camphor etc in ward drobes, cupboards etc.

Method:

foundation chains for the required width.

row 2 onwards : 3 dc, 3 ch, repeated for the entire length

next row: 3dc in the 3 ch sp, 3 ch over the 3 dc of prev row, continue.

Work as many rows to get double the height required. Fold and join 2 sides with sc. Work a long chain to form a loop to hang.

Use the scrap yarn to create small cute things to decorate your home.

There is no limit for creativity!

Crocheted Soap saver

The idea I got from Crochet Pattern central. It was very useful for Abhi to use soap for bathing himself. With this there are two advantages for him. One is the ample lather you get. Another is now he got a good grip on the soap which was difficult otherwise, especially to use his right hand fingers.

Method

Start with as many chains depending on the width required for your soap saver. Then do (Ch3, skip one ch, slst in nxtch), repeat for the whole line. Continue this for double the length of the height required to keep the soap. Fold it and join the sides with single crochets. Thread a drawstring for closing.

Look for other ways to use small amount of scrap wool –
