YARNIE Crochet Pillow Pattern

Yarnie A person obsessed with all things  yarn . They always have something yarn related on them. They are usually multi-craftual. (Knit,  Crochet , Weave) With interest more in the yarn itself verse what is made with it. They often  hoard  yarn that is very expensive just  because they like th e yarn.  -Urban Dictionary  I still can't believe I acco mplished this project. It took me a lot of planning and a few trial runs before I finally got it to come together properly and it sure w as worth it! I am pretty proud of this pillow pattern and I'm so excited to share it with you! 😁 This is going to be pretty long so let's not waste anymore time and just get right into it.  This pattern requires a 20 in x 12 in pillow form and is constructed with two panels, a front and back. Basically two crochet patterns in one. 😉 I purchased my pillow form from Amazon .com. It was actually a little difficult to find the proper size pillow I was going to need. I'll link it here to hope

Angry Little Crochet Coronavirus


So... uhhh... yeah this happended 😂

I am just going to explain the process here of how I made this little guy; not a formal pattern or anything but you should get the idea to be able to make your own.

I started by making the body. I used some gray cotton yarn and made an amigurumi ball with the ratio of 7.
That is, make your magic loop with 6 stitches and join, then increase for 7 rounds, crochet around for 7 rounds, and then decrease for 7 rounds.
Don't forget to add the eyes before the opening gets to small to do so! oh and stuff it too.
I close my amigurumi pieces off with a yarn needle and threading the last row of stitches.
I used some embroidery thread to make the angry eyebrows and frown.


Next I made the red things, I don't know what they're called 🙎
I did a magic ring with 4 stitches and joined with a slip stitch (be sure to leave long tails to start and end; they will help when attaching to the body). Then I crocheted about 12 stitches (some I made shorter) and then I slip stitched around the top.
Chained 2 and made a little picot, slip stitched to the next and did the same two more times to make 3 little picots at the top. This created the triangular shape at the top of the posts.
I weaved the yarn tail through to the bottom of the post and used the two tails to attach the red guys to to body. I didn't worry to much about it being very secure because this guy is just for myself to sit on my desk but I did have the idea to possibly use hot glue to better secure the posts? Just a thought, you make yours however you like.











And that's pretty much it. I had a lot of fun making this little guy and it helped me get through a couple of days of quarantine. I hope you're all safe and well. We will get through this 💓


I had a blast making this angry little COVID and I encourage you all to make your own! Tag me on Instagram with your creations! I can't wait! @yarnandlovee

Crocheted Pizza Keychain

These were honestly so fun to make! If you love pizza or know someone who loves pizza, then I encourage to make this little keychain! I used all scrap yarn which was very satisfying and made me rethink making a scrap yarn blanket 😛 I got the keychains off of amazon I'll leave the link here: Keychains! To create the triangles you will do a single crochet decrease (sc dec) every row after row 1. To do this I go into the front of the loop of two stitches and then pull through both to sc. This makes two stitches into one! Materials:  Keychain Worsted weight yarn in red, tan, and yellow Crochet hooks in 2.25mm (B) and 3.25mm (D) Yarn needle Scissors Needle nose pliers Pattern: Tip: I always leave long tails when I know I'm going to be seaming or attaching parts.  Back Using tan yarn and the 3.25mm hook, ch 11 sts Row 1: sc into the second stitch from hook and across the row to the end. Ch 1 and turn. Row 2: sc dec and then sc to the end. Ch 1 and turn.

The Pawsome Pet Mat

Some time ago I crocheted a little pet food mat for my cat, Franklin. I used the tapestry crochet technique to make little paw prints and his name on the mat. It's still my most loved post on Instagram and I wanted to make something that would better suit more makers considering not everyone has a cat or small dog named Franklin 😜 And so The Pawsome Pet Mat was what I came up with for you! 😻 The name idea was actually inspired by a yarn friend @pretty.pine.tree.crochet I modified my original version of the pet mat by removing my cat's name and instead added bigger and better paw prints. It is still a small mat; the finished piece without the tassels is about 14 x 11 in. If you need the mat to be larger to fit your pets food bowls feel free to play around with the template to make it work for you. The Pawsome Mat - Google Sheet Template  The template linked above is essentially the pattern and I explain the finishing touches further here in this post. I uploaded
