Default crochet toys?

Hi again:

I logged on briefly many months ago asking for quick and *easy* crochet
instructions for baby hats. Thanks to your help, my boys had more hats this
winter than they knew what to do with :-) I discovered that crocheting hats
was relaxing and quick.

But I'm taking a break from hats until the fall: couldn't make a toque that
was summery enough ;-) But this means I need to find another small and
quick project to keep me busy.

When my friends kids were little, she often picked up stuffed toy patterns
to crochet. I would love to try my hand at something like this, but can't
find anything except a rather insipid looking teddy bear.

Any ideas where I might be able to find crochet patterns for toys?

TIA

Marie

Hi Marie,

I don't have any sites, but I bet Stella will send some along as she is always
crocheting or knitting toys. How about making granny squares for an afghan for
each of your boys?

Hugs,

Nora

To avoid annoyance, can anyone "do" a "tiny url" for this and the panda?
Otherwise you have to copy all and paste into your browser.

Hope it doesn't get cut in half as I don't know how to do the "tiny url".
