My niece was having a baby (she had a baby boy), and I wanted to give her something special for her baby shower. She loves all things Star Wars, and specifically Baby Yoda/Grogu from The Mandalorian show on Disney. I just knew she would love a crochet lovey. The first attempt wasn’t quite right, so […]
Here is a surprise gift I made for my son last Christmas. I had learned one of his favorite characters from the video game Kingdom Hearts is Sora. I wanted to try my hand at making him. I very rarely use patterns for my creations. Most of what I make is my own design, and […]
It’s that time of year again when our fifth-graders graduate and move on to middle school. Before the pandemic, I would make my fifth-graders little graduation hats in the school colors. I would fill the hats with different things, or put them on a large lollipop. It became an expectation because the kids remembered the […]
Oh how the kids hound me sometimes. This time, it was one of my second grade girls. She’s been insisting I make a crochet tarantula for weeks. I had no other pressing projects, so I relented. We looked up pictures for inspiration, and I had her look in our yarn drawer to see what colors […]
The kids have been all about the characters from the online game Among Us and asked me to make the red and blue characters. They looked pretty easy and fast to make. I didn’t get a chance to take pics of the blue one. It was already spoken for fresh off my hook. Just picture […]

It’s wonderful how in the beginning he looked like yarn—and seeing how he’s taking shape~~~and then the finished sassy, all attitude, ready to take on the world dude…is amazing!

They never look like much in the beginning, do they? I always have a little doubt that it won’t turn out how I see it shaping in my head. I’ve had some that don’t, but it feels great when they do. 🙂

Love this project. May I ask, how did you make his legs pose-able? Did you use a wire frame?

Thank you! Thanks for taking a look. No wire frame. I’m not very familiar with wire frames. I used Tunisian crochet which makes the cloth a little ticker. I stuffed the dolled with cloth (instead of poly fill), which also made the legs a little firmer but still flexible. I can move his arms and legs, but they aren’t pose-able in the sense you are asking.
