The idea for FreshStitches began in 2008 when crochet designer, Stacey Trock, noticed a distinct lack of patterns for big and cuddly stuffed animals. A handful of adorable designs later- FreshStitches was born! Since then, FreshStitches patterns have become legendary for their cuteness, detailed instructions and step-by-step photos.

FO Friday: Attack of the tinies!

Happy Friday@ How has your crocheting/knitting week gone? I’ve cast on another project… preparing for the staying-inside that will come with Hurricane Irene! But, you’ll have to wait until Wednesday to see it…

I’ve been into making VERY tiny amigurumi recently! First up is a miniature Mal the tiny duck: crocheted with laceweight yarn and a size 5 steel hook.

I used seed beads for his eyes… I didn’t have animal eyes small enough on hand!

Isn’t he tiny?

I also made a tiny crab (you see… I’m from Maryland, so I just LOVE crabs!). This guy is a little Tipper the tiny crab made with laceweight yarn and a size 12 steel hook (I think that’s the smallest I own!)


Sorry crab… the snail is unavailable! (even though he’s just your size!)

What have you finished up this week?

Thanks for stopping by and reading! If you want to see more great finished items… make sure to visit Tami’s Amis blog, the organizer of this great FO Friday theme!

I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
