Welcome, 

Here is a sweet diy crochet project for the any plushie lover. 

Joy Bears Summer Outfit

designer  Sara Sach 

The Joy Bears Summer Outfit -  Sun Hat, Tank Top And Shorts Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs. 

Joy Bears Summer Outfit 

I used a size H/5.0 mm crochet hook. I used acrylic yarn by Mainstays ™ of Walmart in yellow and white. 

My bear is a red Valentine's Day bear named Lovie. Lovie is approximately 14 inches in height. Sara Sach's free pattern works best with 16 inch plushies. The pattern is customizable. You can find this pattern on her YouTube channel with a link to the written pattern on her blog.  You can find lots of  written patterns with easy to follow instructions along with photos on the blog. 

Have fun crocheting. 

Smiles, 

Janet

Welcome, 

May is in full swing! The Battle of the Stitches pick of the month is found on page 21 of  The Step-by-Step Guide to 200 Crochet Stitches by Tracey Todhunter. This crochet-along is featured by Teresa of Critter's Crochet and Heather of Strings and Threads.

Track Stitch

I did the track stitch using the Tulip size 5.5 mm crochet hook. I just grabbed some scrap acrylic yarn to do the tutorial. It is most-likely the brand of Red Heart Super Saver. This pattern uses single crochet(sc) and double treble crochet stitches(dtr). In my opinion, it's a beginner friendly stitch. 

May 2025  No. 16 Track Stitch
