Oh boy, I found a little bunny pin in a thrift store and bought it. Figured I could copy it. Now the shamrock push is over, I want to do the bunny. So I did a google search and found several types. This is one of the first I found and it is similar but mine has longer stick up ears
Bunny Pin #1

This one is more like it.
Bunny Pin #2

Then you can buy this one:
Buy a Bunny Pin #3

This one is just a bunny face:

Bunny Pin Face #4

Are we having fun yet?? ...

There are TONS on the internet, I just did a google search and put in what I wanted (shamrock crochet). However, the key words for what you want are crochet fridgie or magnet.
Good luck.

The interesting thing to remember with crochet and knitting is that you are pulling loops through loops. Now with crocheting you are making a slip knot loop and pulling other loops through it. simple yesno?

Why do we make them using just loops and not knots?

WELL...........................

That way when you have made about 15 rows and THEN see that you messed up the pattern in row 7 you can just take it off the hook/needle and rip it out and start all over again! rofl

Easier to remove loops than knots!

Besides knots are macrame!

I don't crochet anymore, too hard to hold those little hooks, but found this... A Resource for Free Crochet Doll and Toy Patterns on the Web. Hope someone can use it.

Ok. I want to learn to crochet too. My mom is in process of making several camo scarves for a friend who wants them for christmas this year. Hubby wants me to find a pattern for adult booties, His Mom use to make some, but she has been gone for several years now, and we don't have a pattern. Can anyone send a easy pattern that I can have him print out and we can give to my Mom. I want her to teach me to crochet and maybe try making some of these booties. Thanks for any info on this. wave
