handmade gift ideas: crochet style!

there is nothing better than handmade gifts but sometimes it can be hard to think of something to make. don't worry, i'm here to point you in the direction of some really cute ideas. my last post on the subject included lots of different types of crafts but in afterthought i thought it'd be better to make separate posts for different crafts. this post is for all the crocheters. these are some of my very favourite patterns. some i've tried, some i'm dying to try out once i can convince myself i have the time. i hope you'll find something you'll like to try out!



i love ana paula's amigurumi patterns, they're well written and the toys made by them come out so cute. you have my word on that. she shares the pattern to this cute bear and pot of honey and many more at her blog. at her etsy you'll find lots of very affordable patterns and toys.



i saw this crochet coin purse at craftster a couple of years ago and fell deeply in love. sadly i have not come around making one for myself yet. find the pattern here.



this is not so old, but it's been around a while, and it's cute. crochet hat by maedchenmitherz. see her other tutorials here.
