Spring Time Doll, Bunny & Chick Vase Doll Free Crochet Patterns

 This cute little girl is ready for spring! She's made from one of those air freshener doll you see at most craft stores that you don't know what to do with any more. Pattern here.
 She sits atop a clear vase that I have filled with candy. There is even one hiding in her basket!
 Now she has turned in a little White Bunny. Pattern here.
 Her little hat even has a bunny head and ears on it.
 Now she is a chick. Would she look good in several pastel colors all lining a shelf or table?
Fabric paints are what I used to give detail to her hat. Her pattern can be found here

6-inch Christmas Angel Free Crochet Pattern by Donna's Crochet Designs

 This is my 6-inch Christmas Angel and the free pattern can be found here.
 She uses a doll head and hands you can find at most craft stores and left over size 10 crochet threads.
Her wings are sewn to her back just like her red & green wrap.
Add a folded bit of paper to her hands for a song book and you could make an entire choir. If you add stiff cardboard to her base you can actually get her to stand.
Enjoy!

6-inch Blue Snow Angel Free Crochet Pattern from Donna's Crochet Designs

 I call her Blue Snow Angel and the free pattern is here. She is 6-inches tall.
 I used size 10 crochet threads, just the odds and ends I had on hand. It really doesn't take much to make her.
 Here wings are sewn to her jacket.
I made her using doll head and hands you can get at most craft stores. Her arms are glued into the bottom of the blue sleeve, then the mixed blue sleeve is added and sewn to the doll.

She would look good done in different colors and put on a wreath or the tree. She would also make a good teacher gift or decoration for a present.
Enjoy!

 This witch has cast a magical spell over a couple of pumpkins so she can go riding in the night. (Guess her broom was too uncomfortable!)

 Here the stems have poked through and then been bent back on themselves to hold it place.
 The witch is also chenille stems, bent to make the arm, legs and body with a wooden 1-inch doll head.

Free Octopus Crochet Pattern From Donna's Crochet Designs

This guy just makes me smile.  The free pattern is here. The octopus uses bright colors to catch the eye.  I also put squeakers and rattles in some of the legs.  And that necklace he is wearing is actually a baby teething ring.  You can get the squeakers at places like etsy or got to a pet store and look in the dog toy isle.  They usually have packages of replacement squeakers there.  The rattle is a super simple one I made my self. He is just an over all fun guy!
