Little Krishna- made with cotton thread

Our grand-daughter loves Lord Krishna, so made this little Krishna, so she can always carry with her.

I started with the legs, made 2 and joined
Magic circle, make 6 sc in it, I didn't join
R2- increase alternately, so you get 9 sc
R3- 11 sc in each sc, fasten off one leg
Repeat for the 2nd leg, once you finish till R 11
keep both legs together and join 2 sc together and continue on sc in each leg around, you'll have 18 sc in all, I changed colour to blue and continued on these 18 sc till about 10 rows, then decrease 3 sc in next row ( 15 sc)
Next row- decrease 3 more sc ( 12 sc)
Next row, sc, decrease around fasten off.

For head, magic circle, made 6 sc
R2- increase in each sc  12 sc
R3- sc, increase, repeat around, 18 sc
R4 18 sc around
 R5- 2 sc, increase around  24 sc
 R6- 3 sc, increase around   30 sc
 R7-9 30 sc
R10- start decreasing 6 sc in each round till 6 sc are left, fasten off.

For arms- make 2
Magic circle 6 sc
R2-  increase sc in alternate stitches, so you get 9 sc
R 3- R 11, sc in each sc around, fasten off.

I always prefer to join with thread the different parts of the body. Then for eyes, made a couple of French knots close by, for mouth, stitched around with red. Made with yellow, the tilak in U shape, sorry it is just below the crown.

For crown
made 12 ch, make sc in 2nd ch till end (11 sc)
in each row, start decreasing 1 sc in each end, till you're left with 1 sc, then I made sc around the sides and fasten off. Stitched the crown, only thing I'ld not add was a small peacock feather, as I didn't have time for that, as I wanted to give to grand-daughter before she left back home from here.


I had placed the Lord Krishna on my crochet cushion cover, it was the 2nd set which I had made, this one by putting some flowers and leaves around.

Short crazey shell jacket

 Finished this jacket this morning, made for daughter, as she wanted to wear over one of her top. Hope it comes useful to her.

For this, according to the length needed plus, the back together, make chain, then see how the crazy shell is made, once the breadth from neck to shoulder is reached, you decide how much you need for arm-hole, then in those stitches continue the pattern till desired length of the sleeves. You need to make 2 like this, as it is joined in the centre at the back, then join for sleeves and sides. Then make whatever edgings you like.

Elephant Eyeglass Holder

The basic design is by Lisa Ferrel- since my wool was thin, I had to increase the number of rows, then decrease accordingly. The trunk  and the tusks are my own idea, as my daughter wanted a long trunk, as the elephant's trunk isn't the same size throughout, as I felt that was what was there in that pattern, I made the trunk and tusks as I felt will look better. Eyes, I make in all my amigurumi with crochet, mainly in magic circle, I make single crochet, depending on how big/ small I need the eyes to look. Made this for our son-in-law, hoping he'll use it to keep his glasses on it.

Motif and leaves on salwar suit

This motif is called Russian paisley and Paddingcord Leaves- the design is by Bizzy hands, so the credit should go to that designer.

Actually the motif in the pink salwar is sea green colour, to match with the darker blue kameez.

The only variation that I made in the design was, I didn't do my single crochet in the backloop as suggested. Thanks to Bizzy hands for sharing this pattern, my daughter liked it a lot and wanted it on her dress.

Penguin Bag

The idea I got from a site, but then as I made with almost double the no. of stitches, when it came to doing the penguin face shaping, had to think for myself. I made the feet bigger than what was mentioned in the site. I made a long handle using black and white wool, and joined the handle all around. The penguin's nose acts like a button !

Shark Cellphone bag

I made this shark cellphone bag for my grand-daughter, who loves animals and wanted this one when I showed her a similar pattern. But, I had to change a lot from the pattern, as felt the stitches were more as for the material I used, so, changed as what I felt was needed, so, for the teeth and other parts too, reduced and in the pattern for the shark teeth were not stitched, felt that they may easily tear as there were gaps in the final round of teeth, so I stitched it securely. The handle, I made with shaded cotton thread, felt so happy when granddaughter after returning from her classes said it looked so good. I can't ask for anything more, as the user is happy using it.
