Pig Crochet Pattern – Affectionally named “Pork Chop”

We have affectionately named the pig in our Pig Crochet Pattern, “Pork Chop”. He is deliciously fun and easy to crochet! He’s super cute when crocheted in a couple shades of pinks.

For the hunters in our lives, we’ve modified “Pork Chop” and mounted his head! Yep, this pattern includes instructions on how to make a Mounted Boar’s Head! It’s a little crazy, but it’s so real looking when crocheted in Brown Angel Hair and with the addition of tusks. This would be perfect in a man’s office, study or library. Since it’s crocheted, it would even be fun in your craft room! Be sure to name him!

This pig crochet pattern includes the following instructions:

Maxwell, the Geico Pig – give him a pinwheel and watch him squeal “weeeeee” all the way home.
Napoleon from Animal Farm – have him stand on his hind feet and give him some clothes.
Piglet from Winnie the Pooh – dress him in a striped pink shirt and have him stand on his hind feet.
Porky Pig from Looney Tunes – dress him in a blue shirt and red tie and have him stand on his hind feet.

Hard Hat Mining Set – A Blast to Play With

Hard Hat

The hard hat and mining set is the perfect toy to create an explosion. Crochet fire on a single stick of dynamite and throw it in a hole for a little kapow. Or set off a whole stack of dynamite with a blasting box to create a BIG BANG!

Take your imagination deep within the earth building mines to reach diamonds, gold, gems and other precious metals. Or blast through layers of rock quarrying granite and other beautiful stone.

The hard hat will keep you safe as you blast your way to adventure. Stash your dynamite in the wood crate and bring it and the blasting box along for the big jobs.

Hard Hat and Mining Set – Fun for All the Kids

The hard hat pattern is One Size Fits All because there’s an adjustable strap inside (just like real hard hats). Simply make the strap tighter (with use of a button) and it will fit anybody’s head (baby, toddler, child, tween, teen, adult women). Add the light, and your projects are immediately illuminated.

The dynamite is a breeze to whip up. Make a couple sticks to carry in your pocket or crochet a bunch and strap them together for bigger jobs. This pattern comes with instructions to make a wick for a single stick or blasting cap and wire to attach a bunch of dynamite to a blasting box.

The blasting box will help you get the big jobs done faster. The “plunger handle” really moves! You can pull up and down on the handle to simulate a big blast! The sides of the box are crocheted with a wavy pattern to simulate wood grain. There’s a strap on top so you can carry the box to your blast sight. Instructions for the wire, twistable wing nuts and blasting cap are also included.

The wood dynamite crate will help store your dynamite when you’re heading to the job site. This pattern calls for two shades of brown to really get an authentic wood grain look. Crochet a couple of hinges and some lettering to bring the box to life. Create some cord handles and you can carry your explosives anywhere.

Hard Hat and Mining Set – Available in the Store

Hard Hat Store Item The beauty of the hard hat and mining set is that you can start playing right away. Crochet the hard hart first and you’ll instantly feel like a miner.

Aviator Hat for Baby FREE Crochet Pattern

September 26, 2011 By yarnitect Leave a Comment

Aviator Hat for Baby

The Aviator hat is stylish and fun. Oh, and put it on a baby and it’s just stinkin’ cute! The aviator hat is sometimes referred to as a “bomber hat” or “flying hat”. In the crochet world we have also seen it called “hat with ear flaps”, which is a pretty accurate description.

There are several elements that make the aviator hat distinctive. The original flying hat was made of a leather exterior and wool interior – a flap of the cap was tacked just above the forehead. Long ear flaps held radios at the ears. The hat was often paired with flying goggles and a scarf. We’ve simulated all of these elements with yarn!

Aviator Hat for Baby- FREE Crochet Pattern

This aviator hat is a perfect gift for your little flyer or for a much needed baby gift. The hat fits newborns and is perfect for little boys and little girls. The pattern calls for crocheting in the round. Since you crochet with two strands at once, this newborn hat will stitch up quick and easy.
