Today’s Pattern: Twisted Taffy Throw and Pillow
Fall’s officially here and winter’s knocking on our doorstep, which means it’s time to break out the cable patterns. The texture and overall appearance of the cable stitch make these patterns absolute classics. And the Twisted Taffy Throw and Pillow pattern is no exception! This knit blanket pattern uses a few special stitches to create a throw and pillow full of texture. You’ll definitely be snug-as-a-bug all winter long when cuddling up with this beautiful pattern.
Skill Level: Intermediate
Materials:
- Red Heart Soft 20 balls 4601 Off White Or Red Heart Super Soft: 10 balls 4601 Off White
- Susan Bates Circular Knitting Needles: 13mm [US 17] circular knitting needle 36” (90 cm) long. Note: straights or a shorter circular can be used for pillow.
- Stitch markers, large cable needle, 18 x 18” (45.5 x 45.5 cm) pillow form, yarn needle
Gauge: 10 sts = 4” (10 cm); 12 rows = 4” (10 cm) in pattern with 3 strands of yarn held together. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size needle to obtain the gauge.
Throw measures 45 x 56” (114.5 x 142 cm)
Pillow measures 18 x 18” (45.5 x 45.5 cm
Special Stitches:
- 3/3 LC (3 over 3 Left Cross) = Slip next 3 sts to cable needle and hold in front, k3, then k3 from cable needle.
- 3/3 RC (3 over 3 Right Cross) = Slip next 3 sts to cable needle and hold in back, k3, then k3 from cable needle.
- 4/4 LC (4 over 4 Left Cross) = Slip next 4 sts to cable needle and hold in front, k4, then k4 from cable needle.
- 4/4 RC (4 over 4 Right Cross) = Slip next 4 sts to cable needle and hold in back, k4, then k4 from cable needle.
Pattern Stitches:
- Left Cable (over 8 sts) Rows 1–8: Beginning with a right side row (knit), work in Stockinette st (knit on right side, purl on wrong side) for 8 rows. Row 9 (right side – cable row): 4/4 LC. Rows 10–16: Work in Stockinette st for 7 rows. Repeat Rows 1–16 for Left Cable pattern.
- Horseshoe Cable (over 12 sts) Rows 1–4: Beginning with a right side row, work in Stockinette st for 4 rows. Row 5 (right side – cable row): 3/3 RC, 3/3 LC Rows 6–10: Work in Stockinette st for 5 rows. Repeat Rows 1–10 for Horseshoe Cable pattern.
- Right Cable (over 8 sts) Rows 1–8: Beginning with a right side row, work in Stockinette st for 8 rows. Row 9 (right side – cable row): 4/4 RC. Rows 10–16: Work in Stockinette st for 7 rows. Repeat Rows 1–16 for Right Cable pattern.
Notes:
- Throw and pillow are worked holding 3 strands of yarn together throughout. Designer recommends rolling 3 strands into a single ball before beginning so that yarn does not tangle as easily.
- Sixteen balls of Soft yarn are needed to make the throw only. Four balls of Soft yarn are needed to make the pillow only.
- Work back and forth on circular needle as if working with straight needles.
- Cable patterns can be worked by following written instructions or reading charts. Read right side rows of charts from right to left and wrong side rows from left to right.
- Stitch markers are placed on both sides of each cable pattern. Slip markers when you come to them. Count the stitches between the markers from time to time to ensure that you still have the correct number.

I crocheted a very pretty vest with a bow in the back.
I love to crochet I learn on my own with the youtube watch it over and over with the chains double crochet etc my first blanket I crochet was for my father for fathers day he could not believe it and then I decided to make one for my mom all I head on the phone beauitful they live far away from me that made me feel so happy
I have only done blankets for others. I plan on doing purses and a few unicorns I found patterns for. Promised I donate for relay for life.
I also crocheted a huge Christmas stocking, mine is 10″ wide for 26″, I was trying to to put in a present that my daughter didn’t imagine I will give her: A long wooded scratching “arm”, it was something that will make her laugh. But the one thing I really enjoyed was a tiny weeny amigurumi elephant for my daughter house/car key chain. It came out incredible, people even doubted that I did it, they though it was store bought.
I crocheted a Kippah, a jewish head covering for my dog. The kids wanted one. All for the love of your kids. Lol
My biggest project was a pineapple stitch tablecloth that I crocheted for my mother. It took me a year but was gorgeous when finished.Well worth the time spent.
I crocheted a beautiful white afghan. A friend of mine purchased the kit but did not know how to crochet well so she asked me to work out the pattern and teach her. I worked out the pattern, taught her. I made an afghan according to the pattern; however, she never did.
I have also made animals-elephant, monkey, bear, and dog. Great for scraps!
Not too unusual, but I am making some dinosaur hats for newborns.
My daughter asked me to crochet her an alien figure. I made one for her. I even crocheted a black tie for the alien. Tie was removal able.
The most unique item i have crochted is my first baby dress
I crocheted a king Size C2C in all cream color.
I gave it to my girlfriend who I haven’t seen in 35 years. I found her on fb
And we have been hanging out. She Loved her afghan.
Was so surprised. I also made a Catherine Wheel that I’m very proud
Of.
Proud Marine Mom
My first afghan.
My most unique piece was a crochet backpack that had removable back straps. The backpack could then be converted to a large bohemian bag.
I crocheted a detailed afghan for some friends using Frosty Green Red Heart Super Saver. i crocheted a lapgan using Honeydew Red Heart Super Saver and did a free raffle drawing for my coworkers and one of my friends name was drawn. No one wants to buy what I make so I end up just giving it away. Love making things and learning new stitches. I also knit and the first afghan I ever knitted I entered in the fair at a young age and it won 1st place.
I believe it would have to be the afghan I did that consisted of each and every stitch there is in crochet. Each block had a different stitch and it was very very challenging. Loved making it.
I knitted a dress and sweater to match
Nothing terribly unique but I did crochet granny square vests when it was the thing in the 1970’s as a teenager.
Ponchos fo r grand daughters
I crochet everything from blankets to toys, things for kitchen such as towel toppers and bag holders, and doll dresses for air fresheners. I am in the process of teaching myself how to knit.
A spiderweb set Hat scarf and earrings 🙂
A couple of years ago, I crocheted a coat for my mom. It has a little weight, but she claims it is very warm.
Wow, crocheting a coat is something I have never heard of. would like to see a picture of the finished product.
I have crocheted blankets to cover the bodies of my deceased patients.
I crocheted a flower pot with flowers
A rug that looked like a spider web.
I would have to say the most unique item that was crocheted was, a blue eye for a swap. The swap was called the “evil eye swap”, the eye was crocheted flat and framed for my partner.
Then for the knitted item, it would have to be the cabled throw I just completed, during a KAL, with Edie Eckman, and the Creative bug web site. If you like cables you should check this out, she used Lion brand yarns.
Correction to this post, it was Red Heart yarns used!
Correction to my post, it was Red Heart Yarns used!
Well I would not technically call it unique because I am still just a beginner. I am currently working on a Breast cancer awareness headbands and arm bands for our High School band to wear at our pink out football game. So im excited and honored to be able to do this
I am making a christmas tree skirt, my first project with cables! It will be huge and beautiful!!
It is a current work in progress….a graphgan
I am working on a “Animal” hat for my brother in law. I also made a crochet bouquet for my sister this past summer.
I have crocheted a lion. He was my most unique and first Amigurumi item.
I have only been crocheting for a year, so I’m not to interesting. I made a fat little turkey for my mom. Tried making one for myself and it ended up a skinny turkey. Don’t know what happened but they need up completely different from each other. Haha I guess that would be the most interesting thing I’ve done so far!
I crocheted a “doctor” doll for a friend’s daughter
I made a minion doll for my daughter
I have been crocheting for awhile now and have made some pretty interesting items. Some of the more interesting and unique items include a zombie hat for my husband, a hotdog sweater for my dog, elf slippers for my friends, 2 different Transformers hats for a friends children, a leprechaun hat with an attached beard and a saddle with cup holders for my dog. I love the challenge of finding something new to make using a new stitch to teach myself.
Probably the flying doily Frisbee … I was intrigued by the name and the concept of a doily flying like a frisbee….. I have made 8 or 9 to date and I am still amazed how well they fly… and they are perfect for indoor play and play with very small children and dogs because it is soft and does not hurt when it hits them…. I usually take one every time I take my kids to the park and most times we leave without because some kid took a liking to it and we let them take it home!! Just gives me an excuse to make another lol!!
That sounds interesting.
I am new to crochet so haven’t done too many things but have done two baskets which to me are a unique thing to crochet….just love my new hobby!
I crocheted a sweater coat with fun fur & 2 other yarns with no pattern. Took awhile to get the shoulder size correct. Lol
I made a round afghan to fit a queen size bed for a college student. Never again. Also in one month I made twelve beanies, various sizes and eight hat and scarf sets for family.
My very first crochet project was an afghan, white, pink and green. It had pink flowers that popped out of the center of granny squares. I used Red Heart yarn since it was the best looking and I made the afghan for my Mom. I no longer have the pattern, but wish I did. i found it in the back of an old magazine.
The most unusual item I crocheted was a Turtle Trivet, crocheted over bottle caps then sewn together. I gave them out for Christmas presents, circa 1977. Every once in a while, I come across that pattern in my stash. I have improved my crafting to make prettier things as gifts. My family still loves all my handmade gifts no matter what it is.
Most unique thing I have knitted is recently started making hats for babies and toddlers. So far I have made a pumpkin, apple, and minnie mouse hat. I even had to crochet to make a vine for my pumpkin hat. Next moving on to Christmas hats.
I’m working on a crochet Olaf snowman for my granddaughter
Just finished a Doctor Who scarf! Maybe not so unique but certainly distinctive. And, as a new knitter, all those stripes were quite a challenge.
I have made my animal hats I have also made clowns and cupie dolls
I crocheted over a dozen sock monkey cup cozies for a friend to give as gifts at her granddaughter’s wedding.
I knitted a onesie for my daughter while I was pregnant with her. I am also in the process of knitting a yarn-stash afghan that uses squares made of four strands of yarn…and a different four strands in each square. Should look really interesting!
I crocheted a giant squid, he is orange and with his tentacles he is over 4 feet tall.
Hi red heart, i have been knitting with RH since i was 8 years old moom got at woolworths, now i,m dating myself lol. any way i.m now disabled and knitting and chrocheting is my fav hobby, i just finished a king sized crocadile st afchan sorry for the spelling the meds make me a bit fuzzy in the morning this giveaway looks awesome, keeping fingers crossedjuhgs Karen
It probably isn’t unique but I knitted Barbie clothes for my nieces.
The most unique item I have ever crocheted to date would be a Yip Yip Alien from Sesame Street. A friend of mine posted a link to the pattern she found on Pintrest to her Facebook and ask if any of her crafty friends could make her one. I gave it a try and it turned out a lot better than I thought it would.
Maybe not unique to some….but I designed and knitted up some fish……
http://lifeofaknitphomaniac.blogspot.com/2012/07/hi-everyone.html
Since I only started knitting a few months ago, I’m still on my first project ever, a ten-stitch blanket. Ours a lot of fun, though!
The most unique project I ever knitted is a temperature/ weather afghan. I knitted 2 rows a day for the high temperatures and 2 rows for the low temperatures for an entire entire year. I used a different color for every 5 degrees.
What a neat concept.
This should win. Can we see a picture? I just love this idea.
The most Unique thing I have knitted would have to be a Chemo Cap specifically for a woman I work with who was going through Breast Cancer treatment. I felt that that was least thing I could do for her as she was going through this testing time in her life……the best thing about it was I did not tell her that I made it and found out she loved it and she did wear it to work often.
I have crocheted a ghost holding the word BOO and a black spider.
Hmmm I guess unusual is in the eye of the beholder! Nowadays there really isn’t anything unusual! I guess a long time ago I knitted my sister a slipper sock…. went to her knees and was laced up all the way w/ tassels at the end of the laces!
I crocheted a six string guitar for my one year old nephew and he LOVED it. It was sort of taxing sometimes but the end product made it all worth it. It was so cute 🙂
I did a Sully hat hat from Monsters Inc. and I did my own ‘dinosaur’ hat for my nephew!
I am a newer crocheter. I have made a couple of unique items. I made a small fishing bobber and Cat butt coasters. those would be my most unique items.
Two years ago when our daughter and her fiance were planning their wedding, Justin, my now son-in-law asked me to knit kilt hose. He was wearing a kilt and wanted to wear kilt hose and not bought ones. He asked me at Easter and they got married the end of June. I must say the hose turned out beautifully, but I was knitting every spare minute as the pattern was quite intricate and I was using size 0 needles. I was so proud of that project!
The most unique thing I made was 200+ crochet flowers. I used all my scraps to make different colors. I attached a pin and used the flowers for SWAPs at Day camp. The girls at camp still talk about the flowers they have on their camp hats.
I crocheted an afghan with raised red roses on a white background which took quite sometime to finish as I was very young and inexperienced but still I finished it.
My sister was recovering from stage 4 cancer. She found out that she and her husband were approved for adoption. The dress that my sister wore at the baptism of her daughter (my niece) was what I knit for her. I also knit the sweater that she put on her daughter when it got chilly later on. I had only been knitting for about a year when this took place. I also knit this same sister a sweater full of cables that was named the same as my sister –same spelling.
Back in the sixties I knitted a “Beatle” doll for a charity sale. It was hugely popular. I also knitted a “Topsy Turvey” doll which was a doll with pink skin, blond braided hair & blue dress which when inverted turned into a doll with dark skin, black curly hair & pink striped dress.I knitted it for my baby niece who is now 21 & I believe she still has the doll.
I crochet a big elephant pillow for my children. I recently found it packed away in my camping stuff. It was a nice surprise. (I am now a grandma)
I think the most unique thing I’ve ever crocheted was the Skyrim Helmet that I did free hand for my boyfriend.
The most unique project I have ever done was a sweater I knitted for my mother. This was the first thing that I ever even made. I didn’t know it at the time but it quickly became my mother’s favourite sweater. It was the only item of clothing that would keep her warm after she was diagnosed with cancer. I am so glad that the sweater was the first thing I ever knitted.
So far my most unique crochet item is my giraffes that I made for a learning experience with The Crochet Crowd! I didn’t think I would ever be able to crochet Amigurumi items as I am a late comer to the yarn world! Taught myself to crochet 4 and a half years ago, but hadn’t expanded much from afghans and hats up to that point! Now to teach myself to knit! 🙂
I needed a dice bag to bring to a gaming convention in Indy this summer, and the pattern I liked best looked like a giant eyeball. I didn’t quite have “giant eyeball” colors in my stash, though, so my dice bag looks like either a giant space-alien eyeball or a very detailed pumpkin . . . depending on which end one looks at!
The most unique project for me…….has been a teddy bear hat, along with ears. I did this for my youngest daughter when she was in 3rd grade and she still has it to this day (she’s now 12)
The most unique project I made was a Pinkie Pie hat and scarf for my daughter’s best friend in honor of her 16th birthday! She loves My Little Pony and Pinkie Pie is her favorite. I looked at lots of pictures from many angles to get it just right and combined embroidery with the crochet. The scarf even had “hoof” pockets on the ends!
Well, I used a pattern so it wasn’t wholly unique, but I crocheted huge Winnie the Pooh and Tigger stuffed animals. Never again something so involved… it was a challenge because it was NOT Amigurumi with limbs etc attached to the main body… nearly every piece was crocheted onto the main body, and it got very awkward with this huge Tigger in my lap, as I counted carefully so the tiger stripes would come out correctly!! The fun part was crocheting Pooh’s red tee shirt!
My favorite unusual project was the stocking cap with an extremely long, very slowly tapering end, so it is both a cap and a scarf for my adult daughter, with a pouf made of a crocheted squiggle instead of a traditional pompom (I worry about pompoms coming loose in the laundry). The scarf-cap was all one soft green, but for an interesting texture and eye-appeal, the stitch pattern alternated every few rows. She gets claustrophobic in regular scarves, so she loves this, since it is easy to wrap the end loosely around her neck in our bitter Midwest winters, and she loves the easy machine laundering.
Guess I am not that “out there”, I knit a triangular wrap with a cowl neck. It turned out lovely and toasty and my daughter loved it.
I crocheted a be
A never-ending granny square baby blanket.
I crocheted a beautiful dress for my granddaughters. It was purple with three layers of ruffle on the bottom. It took quite a while to complete.
I crochet a afghan for my son. It was done in the afghan stitch with all squares. His name was in the middle and there where animals and toys in the other blocks. Now that he is an adult and a dad his son, my favorite grandson, is using it.
The most unique thing I’ve made is a crochet Cthulhu family. A set of 3 cute monsters in different sizes and embellished to represent mom, dad, and baby Cthulhu.
I had a lady ask for help with something…..and I did knit on it just a bit…..but laughed and giggled through it all……..a thong for her husband!
So far, to date, the most unique thing I have crocheted was a fat ladybug pillow. It was so round and cute though.
I crocheted a doily wreath that had to be stiffened for wall hanging. It was adorned with pointsettias, leaves and ribbon. Difficult but fun!
Most unique would be one I am currently in the middle of finishing. My husband is a programmer and uses the programming language “GO” which has a gopher for a…I guess you’d call it a mascot. I took a knitted pattern and had to adjust to crochet. It’s like a blue jellybean with eyes, nose, mouth.
A plarn tote bag with plastic shopping bags from stores. I have made several for a fundraiser at church and everybody loves them, since Chicago is doing away with plastic bags in stores after the first of the year.
I crocheted an Easter basket for my son. We had moved & I had gotten rid of all the Easter baskets & had yarn & found a pattern so I crocheted the basket for his goodies.
A baby blanket
I crocheted a ‘Dust Buster’ thingie for the top of a mop or broom handle to clean spiders webs and dust bunnies from the ceiling and walls. I brought it to work for cleaning day and everyone wanted one. I think I ended up making over a dozen for my co-workers!
Thanks for the chance to win!
A wrestling mask hat for my son
I was asked to make a stuffed scorpion for a little boy I babysit. He kept watching me make dolls and cats and didn’t like them… so I asked what he wanted and I created that for him.
THank you
I mostly make afghans, so the most unique thing I have made is a doll and clothes for her
Last year I crochet a Cowl for my dogs. They love wearing it and I plan on making more for them this year. After all, a dog can never have enough Cowls.
I just finished a hooded fox cowl.
I made a really cute Santa Face wall hanging which was made out of pieces sewn together. There was the beard (white), the face (pink), the eyes (white with black centers), the hat, (red with white pom-pom). Took about an hour to sew pieces together. It was a hit with family.
Well I guess it would have to be an afghan that I got out of a pattern book that was triangle motifs with 3 interlocking circles inside, and then put together to form octagons. It was super different from anything I’d ever made or seen, and I’ve been crocheting since I’m 5. But when I went to put it together the pattern was wrong. (which I find all the time) So I kept the squares for a real long time knowing one day I was gonna figure something out, and then years later I saw a pic on the internet(when I made the triangles the internet wasn’t even around) of a square with 4 interlocking circles inside. It was a miracle!! SOOOOOOOO I took all the triangles apart, figured out how to add another interlocking circle and figured out how to make it into a square. And it worked!! I also ran out of 2 of the circle colors but then there was another miracle. I found them in my stash in another bag. All of the colors were in there so I was good to go. The whole thing was an absolute miracle!!! I’m so glad to have finally gotten a chance to share this story with people that would understand how amazing the whole thing is LOL!!
I crocheted a cupcake purse.
I’m a beginning crocheter so just about every project is new and unique for me! The most interesting thing that I have done so far is to change the pattern for an owl motif I was making to have the ears be pointier. It tool several tries but I finally prevailed. Love my new hobby.
I crochet a shawl with the Virgin Mary’s head shot on it turned out beautiful never seen anything like it.
I crocheted a pony head complete with a bridle and mounted it on a broomstick handle for my 3year old niece. I made the pony’s head turquoise with a pink main with a brown bridle. She absolutely loved it and that was in 1992. I believe she still has it today. I make lap afghans for veterans in the Minneapolis Veterans Home and for breast cancer fund raisers.
I have made seversl amurigami stuffed toys. They were all different and fun to make.
I am busy making hats to give away to our clients now that the weather is getting colder and they will need them especially in the mornings.
I haven’t crocheted it yet, but the no-kill shelter where I volunteer has a pattern for a crocheted doll of their mascot. I’m waiting to be sent the pattern so I can start on it. =^..^=
I made a really cool baby blanket where i crocheted over a long knitting needle to make a canvas, then i did a needle point sale boat in red, white and blue.
The most unusual thing I’ve ever made was a crocheted naked mole rat amigurumi, These animals are seriously ugly, there was no way to make it a cute ami, either, it was just butt ugly and the client and the recipient of it both loved it. Crazy.
I have made so many things! My latest is a cabbage patch kid hat and a jesters hat. Ive made a stuffed animal sized elephant.
The most unique thing that I have crocheted is a giraffe.
Crochet Easter baskets with crochet Chocolate bunny, yellow chicks and little lambs. Best and most fun project EVER! made about 60 and sold most of them. Donated the rest to needy kids who may not have received an Easter basket last year.
I’m new to crocheting so I haven’t had a chance to crochet alot of things, but I’d say the most unique would be, one of those breastfeeding beanies. I made for a friend who breastfeeds and had mentioned she wanted on, so i made her a couple.
I’ve crocheted loads of animal or character hats…..Elmo, Minion, Hello Kitty, and puppies to name a few. Just last night I crocheted a washable cover for my Swiffer wet jet to replace the disposable pads. Some day soon, I’d like to yarn bomb (crochet) the coat rack in my office! 🙂
A decorative and inconspicuous pill holder
The most unique thing I ever crocheted was Jack-O-Lantern pins for 4 classrooms (about 100 kids) at my kid’s elementary school for their Halloween Party. I even decorated them by embroidering the faces on each one.
I have knitted a chain link scarf for a friend for Halloween. I’m crocheted a huge crayon shaped pillow and a dragon with wings for my nephew.
It may not be “unique”, but one of my most recent projects was a blanket that looks like Captain America’s shield. My youngest son just loves it!
I crocheted several different sea animals for a friend to decorate her bathroom.
When I was 10 we drove from California to Alaska for vacation. My mom and I crocheted the whole way in the truck. It started to get colder as we went and so I made my mom a crocheted nose warmer (a funny little circular thing with crocheted ties to go around your head) She still has it to this day.
I have been crocheting for about 15 years. Most recently, I done some stuffed animals including a cow, pig, moose and monkey. Most unique is the Amish puzzle puzzle ball. I LOVE Red Heart yarn!!
After retiring about a year ago I started knitting again. The first pattern I tried that looked like I could do it was a dreidel. It was described as a catnip toy but I made it as a decoration. It didn’t turn out too bad and was recognizable which was good. The other unique project, at least for me, was a potato chip scarf. Took me a few times to understand how it worked but it turned out great.
I made a large caterpillar for my youngest granddaughter. She loves the colors.
Reading all of the previous comments reminded me of many knit and crochet projects I have made through the years. It was a nice trip down memory lane. One year I crocheted Christmas Tree Snowflake ornaments for gifts and had almost forgotten about them until recently one of my daughters told me that she can’t find her set. (Too many helpers putting seasonal items away at her house.) Would I make some more for her? Of course! But I couldn’t find my smaller hooks and had to buy some more. No one to blame but myself for that and for not being able to find those lovely old patterns. The many needlework sites online helped with getting new patterns. But now my old hands are having a tough time working such fine thread again. Maybe those snowflakes are not so unique but this new old experience certainly is. I think I’ll stick to big needle projects after this.
I crocheted a doll for my granddaughters 3rd birthday.
I have knitted a cozy for a five gallon whiskey bottle.
Just started crocheting again last year so not a lot done besides several afghans. But the most unique items would have to be a retro trivet that is circles woven together, or a giraffe that my daughter claimed while the pieces were still loose in a box. I do have plans to make a lot of different items. It’s really fun watching a project coming together.
I crochet with sticks to make beautiful blankets.
I’ve been knitting and crocheting since I was 10 yrs old. That’s 54 yrs of sweaters, afghans, hats, mittens,gloves,scarfs,doilies,doll clothes, baby layettes and toys. I think my most unique was a pair of cowboy booties for my great grandsons in NC. I’ve knitted for so long I’ve probably done many unique things just can’t remember them all. I’ve had such enjoyment from a simple thing like yarn!
I don’t know how unique my projects have been, but I enjoy a challenge! 😉
My husband, two kids, and I collect gnomes so while my husband was deployed to Afghanistan I made him a gnome. By the time the gnome made it to him the eyes had melted off but he still appreciated the thoughtfulness lol.
I knitted a Mario Bros doll, without pattern, for my 4-5 years old boy (at that time). I used 8 double-pointed needles because I didnt know about circular ones lolll but he still have it and sleep with it. Here’s the guy:
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_thh8P0eBGk0/ScD9QZaUk3I/AAAAAAAAAGU/LUoCCts2y24/s400/IMG_1577.JPG
An entrelac shawl. I wanted to try the pattern. Now I take it into the movies with me to stay warm under. I take it to church too because sometimes the sanctuary is cold.
I have made many unique and unusual sweaters. … I made a sweater for my grandson with interchangeable patches on it- which included a cloth book that I sewed to keep the patches in order. I made grandchildren sweaters with matching hats, then took plastic canvas forms and made them matching purses- duplicating the knitting pattern to cross stitch for the bag. I have knit a pennant banner for my nephew with his initials knit onto the flags of the pennant. I am currently working on a knit afghan for my daughter that is outlined with pug dogs- from a cross stitch pattern that I adapted for knitting. I love the freedom and creativity of knitting, crochet and sewing.
I crocheted the centerpieces for my recent wedding, which consisted of doilies I made into bowls and crocheted flowers. I also crocheted a heart garland, purses for my bridesmaids gifts, and my shawl! But the most “unique” thing I have probably crocheted was a giant rib-stitch blanket. It took a lot of yarn and a lot of time…. But it is definitely warm!
I made A cat with a backpack last year. I named her Jasmine and wrote a story about a small kitty traveling called “Jasmine’s Journeys”. I sent the cat to my daughter at NYU. My daughter still has Jasmine in her dorm this year.
I just finished making a crocheted softie for a family member’s soon-to-be born child. It was a blue and orange fish. And if I say so myself, it was really cute! I’m now working on an alien 🙂
I have crocheted a necklace and earring set, a Christmas tree skirt, a baby bunting, and a rug.
Crochet a beautiful Panda Bear hat for my daughter which she loved so much that she would literally go to bed with, working on crocheting a rug for my little girls room… direct order was make it colorful…lol what makes me enjoy doing crochet projects is how happy and excited my childen get when I complete a project for them and they get to show off to friends … they are proud of me …lol
The most unique item I have crocheted was a caterpillar for a baby shower.
I decided one day I’m going to knit a cover for an old chair and after months of colorful work it ended up being the coolest thing I ever made.
The most unique thing I’ve crocheted is a yarn bombed chair. Ive also yarn bombed different stools. It’s a good way to use sraps and vintage yarns.
A Christmas wreath. I crocheted it when I was 20 and ,34 years later, my mom is still using it. 🙂
I’ve been crocheting since I was 18 years old.. I’m a self taught crochetier going on 40 years now. I would say the most unique item I have crocheted is a large white doily with hearts all around the outer edge and pineapples … Very Beautiful.. I crochet all the time and give my work away to my friends.. My son who is now 24 still has a afghan crocheted in primary block colors and a lion called Lenny
I found a crocheted hat at one of the local department stores, I sat down and figured out the pattern, left the hat at the store, went home and crocheted the hat for my niece. Everyone was flabergasted that I did that. It turned out just like the store one only better since it was hand made. I loved it and so did my niece.
I made a hat for my new niece with matching booties. It was my first time and they turned out perfect!
My first attempt at making my own pattern for a baby dress was a hilarious failure. It was way too small for any human infant. It was cute though and it fit a decorative teddy bear my Mom had.
I crocheted a “Mike” monster from Monsters, Inc.
The most unusual art I’ve crocheted was “Yard Art”. I got tired of missing items from my yard so I ‘decorated’ a small dead tree with freeform crochet (some of not so nice subjects).
Love the creativity and use of various yarns.
I think that the funniest thing ( and it really isn’t funny) was a baby sweater I tried to make when I was just starting to crochet. I crocheted soooo tight that it fit my dolls. I was very up set about it. I wanted to be so proud of it ,instead I was very disappointed . I was maybe about 7 years old at the time. I’m now 77. So I’m now I crochet much, much looser when working with yarn and have made many beautiful afghans and other crocheted items.
I crocheted an afghan using the afghan stitch. It had 5 panels. Then cross stitched wisteria on it.
I do a lot of Amigurumi, but probably the most unique were the 4th and 10th doctors from the Doctor Who series
Made a dog breed banner/scarf while learning to double knit. Created silhouettes of dog, ribbon and breed name. Love what you can create visually with double knitting.
I made a color block sweater with four or five colors.

l crocheted a ” Sweet Dreams of the Sea” mermaid cocoon by Mary Maxim. lt was lots of fun! l have also crochet several cowboy hats and cowboy boots for little ones too!
I would have to say every afghan I’ve made (and there are many). I use patterns for ideas, inspiration and guidelines. The final afghan is totally unique and special to the person it is lovingly crafted for.
A Bavarian centered primitive afghan for a queen sized bed
My granddaughter s which costume for Halloween this year

Not too exotic – just a hooded and zipped baby bunting.
I crocheted Olaf hat and cocoon for Halloween costume..
It was a rug crocheted form plastic bags made many, many years ago. I have been thinking of making another because of all the ones the hubby keeps bring home. He doesn’t use the fabric bags in the trunk of the car.
A tote bag from recycled plastic bags
Hi! I generally stick to simple things and let the yarn colors speak, but I would say the most creative afghan I made was a baby crib blanket for one niece which was a rainbow patter of soft pastel colors all in that popcorn stitch. Even using worsted weight yarn it was quite warm for the weight of all that yarn. I edged it with a couple layers of antique ivory looking ruffled lace.
I crocheted an Amigurumi marshmallow, it was square with a little face and I stuck it on a brown pipe cleaner for the stick. It fooled the kids round the campfire but didn’t catch fire!
This past winter, I crochet the following toys: 2 owls, 1 bunny with carrot, 1 frog and the best of all, 1 deer for my granddaughter. Lots of fun and plan on doing some more.
I’ve crocheted a lot of off-the-wall things. A TARDIS baby blanket & sonic screwdriver rattle for my youngest niece, cloches and beanies with a variety of geeky decorations (Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Minecraft to name a few)… but the hands-down most unique crochet project was a set of nun-chucks. One of my daughters was Michelangelo (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) for Halloween and she refused to accept her costume as “complete” without a set of ‘chucks… but being in elementary school, there was no way we could use anything that might be construed as a weapon: so, I took brown and gray yarn and some fiberfill and crocheted a pair of ‘chucks for her costume.
I’ve knit a throw using the feathers and fans pattern. I used a mixture of 8 different wools in a variety of autumn colors to create a fantastic texture and warmth for our very cold evenings here in northern Alberta. I finished the throw by crocheting a 1″ border around it to keep it in its’s original shape and size of 60″ x 72″.
I made a pokemon sack shaped as a pokemon ball for all of my daughter’s pokemon games. She was so proud of it and took it everywhere with her.
I designed and filet crocheted an US Airforce emblem along with years of service for my friend that recently retired.
The most unique thing I have crocheted would be; A friend has a bassett hound, he had troubles when going out in the snow. Certain “things” would drag thru the snow/ice, which was painful. I made a pattern and made him mittens for “that part”, they keep him snuggly warm and all frost burn is gone.
Last summer I made a bunch of barefoot sandals for all my nieces and great-nieces.
I have been having fun knitting & crocheting for my new granddaughter, I made stuffed raccoon, teddy bear, rabbits and crocheted cowboy boots, baby uggs, maryjanes & baby sockassins!
I love to find new challenges, besides clothes, such as stuffed animals. However, the most fun I have had was making a cactus garden, complete with the soil, and a few small animals.
Jolly Poo amigurimi! It’s exactly how it sounds…a pile of poo with a smiley face!!! I made it for a friend and she loved it!!! We use it now at work as an elf on the shelf somebody puts it in a different place everyday!
A crocheted Christmas tree.
Years ago I knitted a sweater I designed for my grandmother in purple and white sport yarn with white cables across the shoulders and neckline and three cables running down the left front with a purple cable on the purple right, a purple and white cable dividing the two colors, and a white cable on the left.
As a child, my grandmother taught me how to crochet. We lost her December of 2013 and in her memory, I decided to re-teach myself how to crochet. This past summer, I made my 7 month old niece a beautiful penguin hat. Her mother (my baby sister) loves penguins and it was a huge hit! I even have the pictures to prove it! I LOVE crocheting!
I crochet my best friend cat butt coasters..it was great.
Last year I knitted a neck tie for my son for Cristmas
I crocheted a coffee cup cozy : )
On a visit to Tucson, AZ, we found a yarn/craft shop. There was a beautiful multicolor afghan on display with geometric lines, etc. The pattern was alittle complicated and entitled Navajo, and I wanted it. The owner would not sell a copy, so after negotiating a sale with her for something else, she put a copy in my bag. I came home and crocheted one. 20 yrs later, it’s still used and a favorite.
I crocheted a cape for my nieces wedding. Done up in white sparkle yarn. She loved it and actually wore it during the reception.
I made a king size bed spread.
I knit a Peter Heater for a male friend in college. You can guess what a peter heater is. Had a tassel on the end.
I wish there was a **LIKE** button like Facebook!! 🙂
The strangest ? I have crocheted Peter Heaters/Willie Warmers like the ones the British women made for their soldiers in WWI and WW2. No joke. These were for real. They make good joke presents.
The most unusual thing I have ever crocheted was a giraffe. I have also crocheted a graphghan with Jesus’ face in it.
I suppose you couldn’t call what I crocheted unique. I am new to this, so I started with crocheting little rectangular tablet holder for my cousin and another for my niece’s cellphone. Not knowing anything about tension and gauges, I just measured the dimensions and started chaining the length of those gadgets. Came out ok though and I used some nice buttons that look good too.
I crocheted a special afghan for our friend’s autistic son. he insist on taking it everwhere.

I crocheted a mile a minute afghan and made a matching afghan for my great nieces toy doll.
I crochet a school football stadium blanket for a raffle that was black and gold, the school colors. It was a lot of work but it was to help the schools band.
It may not have been a Unique project, but it is one of my best works to date. I crocheted a Snowflake doll dress. It was royal blue with white trim and crocheted snowflakes around the skirt. She also had a hat, cape and hand muff. I sewed pearl beads on the snowflakes and it turned out just gorgeous. My mother-in-law collected dolls and she loved it! After she passed that was the one thing that I wanted back and I will always treasure it.
I am currently working on my first project ever which is a very simple black scarf. I look forward to try all sorts of new stitches and project when I can afford to buy yarn to do the projects I would like to play with. I guess the scarf would be this most likely answer then.
I crocheted a shift knob cozy for my friend who had a cold shifter on winter mornings.
I crocheted a hooded infinity scarf with black yarn and I fashioned beads out of paper brads shaped like stars and worked them into the hood.
I crocheted a throw for my mom a few years back in the shape of a BINGO CARD as she was an avid player. Since she has passed, I now have that throw and think of her every time I wrap myself up in it. The card had all the numbers and the free space crocheted right into it in the afghan stitch. It was great fun to make it for her and she enjoyed it for quite some time. It is so refreshing when something is so appreciated. My mom also was always complaining about her nose being cold, so I knit her a nose warmer as well.
The most unique thing I’ve knitted is a fairy doll. Took a lot of pieces but it was super cute!
I am finishing a “Cat Cave” that will be felted.

I have been crocheting with all Red Heart yarns for years. Just recently I got an order from a friend asking for 10 scarves to give for Christmas gifts. I made 30 scarves for here to select from for her Christmas presents. I crochet on a daily basis as a relaxer. I also like the patterns that Red Heart has to offer.
Not really unique, but I crocheted a baby sweater and hat for my little sister. It was the first time I did popcorn stitches, so it’s memorable to me.
I crocheted an elephant stuffy with tusks and all. The head was the hardest part because it was out of one piece minus the tusks.
a turtle shell with attached hat for my Grandson’s newborn pics
I’ve crocheted so many things, but my most unique thing would probably be the standing angel with outstretched wings. I even added sparkling filament to the wings to give them a shimmer. The hardest part was stiffening the whole thing to stand upright with the wings extended.
A plaid afghan
I knit an Arm Chair Caddy for an elderly friend, to hold her crochet hooks and the remote control for her TV. It was the first time I had knitted with two strands, and it came out very nicely.

I have knitted and crocheted numerous items for our county fair for years. My biggest surprise was a blue ribbon and Best of Show in knitted articles for a Barbie doll dress that had added floral appliques to it. Barbie was finished in a straw bonnet. Its really difficult and competitive to get a Best of Show in any stitching category. Thats my story.
Also knitted a panda bear one year which my granddaughter ended up with. It was knitted in 16 pcs from a pattern in the book McTague Knit Toys, by Barron’s Fiona McTAgue I found in the library. It had amazing knitted toy suggestions, clowns, dolls, fairys, animals. It was an amazing challenge. It did get a blue ribbon but no Best of Show.
I made a CUBS baseball blanket to fit a king size bed. I drew a picture using the CUBS logo. I crocket the letters separate and appliqued the letters onto the blanket giving it a 3-d effect. It was amazing test to endurance. Took 22 years to complete as I was a single mom raising two boys and I worked on the blanket to relax at the end of my busy day.
Probably the most unique thing for me is that I designed and crocheted a set of small “bathroom” baskets and decorated them with glass stones, and a large owl basket.

My first project was a giant granny square afghan, crocheted with neon colors. My mom still has it.

I crocheted a knight helmet hat for my son-in-law.
I love to crochet “Eye’s of God,” or “Ojos de Dios,” in Spanish. They have a pretty center that the early Mexican people made to act like the eye of God watching over all of us. They are very simple to make; I’m glad I learned about them in school when I was a child!
It’s not unique, but it’s different. My 6yr old wanted hats for some of his stuffed animals so he sat down with me and described what he wanted while I crocheted them. They came out cute and he was happy, which was the best part.
I had followed, Tucson Representative, Gabby Gifford’s political career and when she was shot in Tucson in 2011, I was very concerned. When she was moved to Texas for her rehab to be near her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, I crocheted and sent her two shoulder warps to wear while in the hospital, to keep her shoulders warm. We all know how hospital gowns are not the warmest items of clothing. It was an honor to make them for her and a greater honor to have her to publicly acknowledge receiving them. She is working very hard and will be back in the public eye, I hope, very soon.
I am fairly new to the Crocheting world, and I think the craziest thing I have made so far is a pair of crazy colored Sweatpants. It was the neon rainbowed yarn from Red Heart and they were for my boyfriend to wear to wrestling practice.
I MOSTLY MAKE AFGHANS BUT HAVE MADE HATS, AND SCARVES. THE MOST INTERESTING ONE FOR ME WAS THE GARTER FOR MY DAUGHTER’S WEDDING. I HAVE MADE ROUND AFGHANS, BABY AND ADULT AFGHANS, LAP THROWS…..HAVE ALSO MADE CAT TOYS STUFFED WITH BATTING AND CATNIP.
The most unique thing I have ever crocheted was a baby blanket using all the leftover skeins of Vanna White’s yarn that I had. It ended up being unique and one of a kind. I ended up keeping it to cover up my grandchildren when they nap at my house.
The most unique project I’ve ever made was a large, intricate baby blanket that I made for a friend. The pattern was originally found in a book and it was 4 pages long. I modified it to her liking. It took me 3 months to accomplish. She was thrilled with the blanket but sadly, I never got a picture of it. It will forever live as an image in my memories. A beautiful memory.
The most unique project I made was for my mom. I made her a blanket with the very fine crochet thread. It took almost a year to make it. It was a very beautiful pattern that consist of about 150 squares that had to put together
I’ve crocheted a Tunisian entrelac afghan to fit a queen-sized bed, and I’m currently working on 2 afghans–a cabled afghan and a combination of various colored bias garter-stitch squares for a throw for my mother.

That sounds adorable!
Hi!! We just became ‘ferrants’ (parents to two ferrets), and I crocheted them each a sweater by modifying a dog pattern. Love these funny, fuzzy ferret faces!!
I crocheted a poncho for my niece when she was 4 years old. It was, so far, the most daring and adventerous item I have ever made. She absolutely loved it and wanted to wear it every day.
I would have to say the most unique thing I have made was a zombie hat with the brains falling out and an eyeball dangling.
i crochected a ‘red heel sock monkey’.
I don’t think I have made anything unusual. I’ve done sweaters, dresses, afgan, and hats.
My grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was about 8. I would have to say the most unique project/projects I have ever made are slippers! I always seem to get two different sizes!
My ‘person’ most unique project was knitting a christening gown for a friend. The project/pattern was challenging, and i truly enjoyed working with the ‘fine’ yarn. Making the gown was truly a labor of love for a very special friend.
The most unique and challenging item I crocheted was my granddaughter’s christening gown. It wasn’t perfect but my daughter loved it!
I made a christmas afghan last year. It turned out perfect
I enjoy reading your newsletters but I’m left handed and cant seem to catch on to crocheting. I would love to be able to do some of the patterns…..but can’t find anyone who will show me left handed. I have one of those “knitting looms” for stocking hats and have and still am making hats for cancer victims. Our daughter works at a clinic and many of the patients get a hat or 2 and they appreciate it. When word got around our rv park that I am doing this, several people donated their yarn. So many kind souls!
Try sitting opposite your instructor and work just as she/he does. This means working in the same direction – ignoring left and right, using directions like ‘the side near the table’ or ‘the side near the door’. It can be done. Good luck!
I made a scrap yarn stuffed snake for my youngest son.
I crocheted dolls that resembled my children.

I am a beginner but i alost always use red heart yarns. I have knitted a couple headbands, beret hats, leg warmers and sweater for my grandson but my most unique would have to be the ruffle style skirt for my daughter. I used no pattern just a few odd chain stitches. It was pretty though.
The most unique crochet gift that I’ve made was the Simpson’s family with Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and the baby. These were my son’s favorite tv characters with no crochet patterns available, so I created by own. It was such an hilarious and challenging project with the entire family watching as each round was added to create the toys. It turned into a labor of love and fun!
The most challenging thing that I have crocheted were 4 Easter bunny baskets for my kids
Over the past 6 months I have been crocheting amigurumi. The first one I made was with a group of others crocheters. Since then I’ve made 3 others on my own. I really enjoy the creativeness of it.
I am a self taught crocheter. Being a right-brain person, sometimes it’s hard for me to follow patterns, so, I do some crochet ‘sculpting’ of wearable art. I crocheted a 1930’s pilots cap with goggles the same shape as Amelia Earhart’s. The goggles were done as separate pieces stitched to the cap. I was very pleased with the lens frames. They gave the goggles the three dimensional look I wanted. I have also done Minions from “Despicable Me” with sculpted eyes with their lenses giving them, too, the three dimensional look. With the pupil being a separate piece I can make the eyes looking to the side with a mischievous smile embroidered underneath. They’re so cute.
I am an advanced beginner, so I have mainly only crocheted beanies, scarves, and baby blankets. I did also make myself a belt of joined flowers. I am about to attempt my first Amigurumi. It will be a little ami. candy corn. 🙂
Butterfly magnets
The most unique project I crocheted was a 5′ Tall stuffed monkey for my grandson. It was my first try at a stuffed animal toy for my new grandson, but I kind of got carried away and it got way too big, but he loved it and used it to sit on and wrap its arms around him! I saved a picture of the monkey because I have since been able to tone down my crocheted toys to a more normal size.
I have crocheted all of the my little ponies and made clothes and accessories to go with them. I have also done the totoro and catbus. Anything unique is fun.
Monkeys and Penguins. Fun to learn.
I made Despicable Me Minion hats for my grandsons! They were so adorable in their pictures with their hats on.
I make afghans for various fundraisers, and crocheted pillows. Family & friends usually request either for their “special time of the year”.I use different sizes and colors of wool, and no scrap is ever dumped! Whatever I don’t use in my crocheting patterns, my 9 year old daughter uses for plastic canvas projects!
I made jewelry by crocheting using embroidery floss and a small steel hook.
Well, I’m really just starting out. Had basic knowledge on how to crochet since I was a kid, but this past year, I taught myself how to knit, and learned so many new ways to crochet. The most unique thing I’ve crocheted was a Elsa Hat with hair and crown for my best friends’ nieces Hallowe’en costume this year.
The prettiest thing I created has to be the beautiful Christening gown I made for a friend. I also made my brand new grandson’s coming home outfit. (Newsboy cap, booties, diaper cover and jacket) and a ring pillow for my friends wedding.
The most unique thing that I have ever made was probably a crocheted bag that I made that looks like an owl. I have also made animals and dishcloths.
The most unique item I have crocheted would probably have to be the little beanie I made for my puppy. It started off as a coaster but it somehow gradually formed itself into a hat haha. It’s got a little pom pom on the top and two slots on the sides for his ears to go through.
The most unique thing I have knitted is a sweater with open and closed squares that I designed myself. It had ribbing at the waist and end of sleeve. The sleeves were a three quarter sleeve and the neckline was wide so it could be worn off the shoulder.
skull infinity granny square
A very intricate prayer shawl in teal blue.
I love making flower pencil toppers for my kids teachers as a thank you gift.
I’ve crocheted three eyed monsters, snails, rainbow giraffes, pirate elephants, neon octopi, I love red heart colors! ! They make my creations so colorful
I knitted a sweater for my great nephew with a John Deer tractor on the front of it. I also knitted dresses for his two sister’s.
My most unique crocheted project to date has been a ‘Shaun, the Sheep’. My sister-in-law sent me the pattern, but I didn’t realize the pattern was written with European abbreviations. Not cluing in to that caused my first leg ending up being twice as long as it should have been. While this caused great amusement in my household it meant Shaun would have been an extremely l–o–n–g sheep. Eventually all the pieces were completed correctly and put together and now it is a highly desired critter reclining on our DVD shelf.
Baskets. I love to make them. Also snowflakes, they are very challenging .
I had to crochet a flatworm for my husband’s science class. Evidently, the teacher still keeps it on her desk!!
I haven’t crochet anything unusual. I did go out of my comfort zone and crochet a slouchy bear hat starting from bottom up. It took me a whole week to do, but I finished it and was very happy with it.
This blanket looks like it would be fun to make and i look forward to trying to make it. Right now i am making Halloween costumes and trying to teach my eight year old daughter how to crochet. Its been a challenge but she is determined to learn.
I would have to say my crochet flower scarf. Great stash buster and fun to make!
I have made a half dozen Kitty Hats. These are not hats for a kitty. They are human hats shaped like a kitty’s head .. with ears, eyes, nose, whiskers. =^..^=
a lacy cloak
I forgot to say that my Kitty Hats are crocheted. 🙂
The most unique thing I’ve ever crocheted, I’d have to say was a ‘peter’ heater…for a man…You can all just use your imagination as to what I’m referring to 😉

My mother in law has a hard time keeping weight on, she only weighs 74lbs. So I made her a sweater with homespun yarn, it’s light weight but super warm. She loves it.

I crochet dolls that go spend time with a military child while their mom or dad is away on orders for more than thirty days. These dolls are known as Dabby Dolls. The whole doll is crocheted with the hair being strands of yarn. When the month is done, the child sends me back the dolls and I crochet them one of their own. It has been a huge help to the children that have participated so far and they love getting their own dolls as a thank you. This is also in the U.K. where I crocheted dolls for the woman who runs the project there, because military children deal with the same anxieties of military life no matter what country they live in.
I’m trying to teach myself to knit. I used to crochet when I was younger. I would crochet scarves and granny squares. In my family crochet was passed down in the family. My great grandmother taught my mother, my mother taught me, and I am trying to teach my niece.
One thing that was unique that I knitted was a crayon caddy.
I make handmade Crocheted hammocks using paracord! I love using paracord because it comes in basically any color i want, its durable, strong, rot and mildew resistant. But i love to crochet them because its just so much more comfortable to lay on. They are double-wide hammocks, measuring 12+ feet long and 56 inches wide, and can easily hold two people at once.
I knitted a large afghan for my son who wanted a very long blanket because he is so tall. It was over 7 feet long when finished.
Big ruffle dress for Barbie doll, big old popcorn stitch bedspread..many many other things.

I knitted a icelandic beany and sweater for my little son .It was a big project for me.
The most unique project I have ever crocheted was an afghan done in tunisian stitch for all my 7 grandchildren. What was unique about them was they were made from a graph and had each one’s picture crocheted into the afghan. I love doing these.
My daughter recently graduated high school so I crocheted her a graduation teddy bear in the school colors. It turned out kinda wobbly but cute none the less
I began crocheting a few years ago after I retired. I don’t do too many unusual things. In the beginning, my projects were hats and scarves for loved ones; then afghans, especially baby afghans. Last year I made a star garland for the Christmas tree. Now, I spend most of my time crocheting prayer shawls for our church.
I have crochet a wall hanging and a srylish clutch

a cowl
I have been a demon chocheter for about 40 years. I have made many afghans, baby layettes, hats, scarves, gloves, etc. I think the most unique item I have made is the afghan and matching throw pillow I created in U of M Gold and Blue for a friend of mine. I coundn’t find a letter pattern I liked so I graphed a pattern for a gold M within a blue field. It was a big hit with my friend who is a big fan.
I crochet a very large owl wall hanging tapestry, with yarn strips to create a shag type effect as his body, big brown wiggly eyes and a small tree branch added at his feet as if he were perched in a tree. One of the biggest projects I have crocheted. But very beautiful when done !
my most unusual item was a cover for my sons numchucks when he was doing martial arts. whenever his belt changed i found yarn to match his belts
The most unique thing was a sweater for my Chippet (Chihuahua Whippet). She has very long legs, a barrel chest and very large ears but is only 10 lbs. So I had to modify the pattern quite extensively to fit her. The most difficult though was trying it on her throughout the process, she didn’t care for that at all ! It turned out very cute, it’s black/white/grey (variegated yarn) and has black lace at the end by her rump.
I made a baby blanket for some friends that are avid Settlers of Catan players. The blanket was hexagon patches, several of which had crocheted sheep faces sewn on top. I found the pattern in a book one day and it was perfect!
did an assortment of about 6 crochet thread button necklaces from a shoebox full of old family buttons a customer of mine requested as Christmas gifts – was a really fun way to keep sentimental things in the family that would have otherwise just been closed up in the shoebox till who knows when
I had crocheted a bandana for our dog and my youngest daughter cried until I crocheted a bandana for our gecko. It was tiny and the gecko was not fond of it. I would have to say that is the most unique item I have crocheted.
Not sure if considered unique, but last year I made chemo beanies for a lady in our community. Each beanie I did an appliqué on to reflect her fight, her courage, her faith, her strength. She got to pick which 1 to wear each day to represent her and what she wanted to show the world that day.
when I was younger, I loved unicorns and I found a crochet pattern for a filet crocheted unicorn runner, I still have it. out of all the things I have crocheted over the years and there have been many, this was my favorite and one of the most challenging.
I crocheted a very large circular ripple blanket pattern but used hemp string that you use in gardening instead of fine yarn…when it was pinned out on a wall at all the points and stretched smoothly, it created really beautiful shadow art and the texture was really interesting. I must admit, my hands were sore after working on it for several days. It was part of a fibre art project.
I crocheted an owl baby blanket.
I have only been at crocheting for about 2 months. I used bulky yarn to make a 6′ afghan for my son and a 5′ afghan for my daughter, and I have taught myself how to make cute hats 🙂

We did this to complete an afghan which we placed in a contest and won. Also crocheted bikini for contest. might not have been unique, but I enjoyed the experience and winning the prize.
I made my sons first Halloween costume. He was a mouse in a mouse trap so made his ears and tail.

I would say the most unique and probably the most fun was a small tote that I felted. First time felting and made the tote without a written pattern.
This may not be unique to some, but for me, seeing as I am a beginner…it has to be the toothfairy tooth holder
I am still new to crochet, only crocheting for maybe 6 months now but so far the most unique thing I have made would have to be a pink camo Mile a minute baby blanket for my great niece, she loved it!

I knitted a “monster” it really was just a giant ball with a goofy face and arms.. lol
The most unique project I ever crocheted I have to say was a 3 piece hat, cowl and scarf set for my grandson Alex. He especially liked the cowl because it was so warm around his neck. I designed it myself with no pattern, in three colors black, burgundy and ivory to match a new winter coat I bought him for Christmas, he really loved it. It was special made by grandma.

My grandmother Lidia (RIP) taught me first when I was 12 yrs old with the simple chain, single & double crochet. Mother Sara (from my year in a Mexican school ran by church) taught me the knitting basics when I was 16 1/2 yrs old, but I have been self teaching myself from the internet all the other great different techniques.
Oops pushed the submit before I was done. Mother Sara showed me a pattern for a praying shawl that she called “welcome” and I knitted the first time ever this lace shawl for a dear friend that recently retired as her “welcoming to a new chapter to her life”. We both loved it since the pattern almost looked like wings.
I knitted for my grandchildren a fuzzy pink monkey, a Lyon and a couple of teddy bears. This was lots of fun.
I love to crochet all kinds of things to give away!!! (pins, hats, all kinds of magnets, animal outfits, wraps, afghans, lapghans, small appliance covers and many other things!!! I love this site!!!!!!!!!!!

Just finished my first poncho

Aran sweater
I knitted an owl, a fairly large owl for my soon to be grandaughter. I thought it was terrible and ugly and was no where near satisfied with the project. I had every intention of either pulling it apart or destroying it, but before I could my son whisked it away when I wasn’t home. Seems he and my daughter in law loved the thing. They predict it will be their daughters favorite toy. Goes to show we are usually our own worst critic.
When I was younger I crocheted a round table cloth. It’s was a great project for a teenager girl. Was a help for my college studies.

I take part in Scottish Highland games, and created a thistle pin. This was appropriare, as the Scottish flower is the thistle, (even though it is technically a weed). I did not include the prickles on the leaves 🙂
It is a task that can be done while watching TV, and does not require a lot of expertise.
I enjoy your web site tremendously, thanks for all you do.
My granddaughter came to me and asked me to help her crochet baby flip flops. After watching a video a couple times I made her a pair. They turned out real
cute and they took me only three hours. I want make a pair of cowboy boots next.

Not extremely unique but I crochet tons of hats! Most of which are custom ordered and unique in their own ways!!
I crocheted square dance dress, complete with crinoline, to fit a Barbie doll. My parents square danced for years so this was for my Mom.
Seeing as I’ve only been crocheting for about 8 months the most unique project I’ve done would be my granny square blanket, that is still a work in progress, I taught myself the pattern through YouTube videos and just didn’t stop adding to it once I got the pattern down! It is one of my favorite projects that I’ve done to date.
The most interesting project I ever made was an entrelac afghan that I created myself without a pattern. I love the way the entrelac stitch looks like woven strips!
I designed and crocheted an entire-leg warmer for my mother, who has a tumor in her calf muscle and is unable to receive medical treatment yet. Her leg always gets cold, and when that happens she gets a big cramp! I’m glad I could crochet something for her that helped keep her leg warm and cozy to keep the cramps away! 🙂
Lots of character hats, baby sandals, and I made up a pattern for a minion cup cozy
the most unique thing I’ve ever knitted was a nose warmer for my sister. When she was little she complained that her nose was cold and said I should knit her a nose warmer to keep it warm, so I did.
I’ve only make hats, but I am going to be making a dress soon. : )
I hope to someday be able to crochet something like this blanket. I guess with this much yarn I could get some practice
In 2006, I designed and knitted my daughter’s wedding veil from laceweight Missouri wool.
I wouldn’t call it unique, but maybe just a case of serendipity. I was crocheting a hat (this was my first project ever), and it grew to such proportions (I didn’t know better at the time, didn’t keep track of my rounds nor my stitch counts), and didn’t want to unravel the whole thing after 25 rounds. I added a strap across the middle instead, and it ended up being a basket that I hold my skeins in. My husband sometimes will empty it out and put it on his head, claiming that it’s still good as a hat as it droops well past his nose.
I’ve never knit anything unique. I usually knit sweaters, or other wearables.
I crocheted a hooded scarf with cat ears and paws! Sorry if this posts twice, I tried to post it and my internet went wonky!
The most unique thing I have ever crocheted was miniature sofa for my daughter in laws cat. I made in orange and white with a small afghan on the seat back with UT embroidered on it. It looked just like a miniature sofa, I couldn’t believe how great it turned out and her cat and my cat both love it.
With twin toddlers I needed easy Halloween costumes. I knitted two headbands ROCKY and ROCKY II. Combining them with sweatsuits and boxing gloves gave me the perfect costumes. (Yes their father bought them boxing gloves.)
I recently lost my dog (today is one month actually). So I am currently knitting his face onto a pillow using intarsia. I am using the yarn from a sweater I made for him as the background and his face is the in the middle of a pillow. I am almost done with this interesting project, and it is turning out beautiful. I will soon have a handmade momento of my beloved Pomeranian.
I made a giraffe hat for my friends baby.
Rag quilt.
I love making the animal character hats for my granddaughters. Right now my favorite is making an extra-long afghan for my 6’2″ grandson! Going to add a foot pocket to keep his toes warm.
I think the most unique thing(s) I have crocheted are the Zombie bears I have made. I made one for my sister and had several friends ask me to make them one. I change the pattern slightly each time so each one is unique.
I made a poncho with Lion Brand Homespun Thick & Quick yarn called greystone stripes. It’s the first time I ever made anything to wear. I got the pattern from Lion Brand free crochet patterns. It was easy to make and I just love the way it turned out.
I made a coffee cup and filled it with coffee beans once for a friend.

I usually crochet afghans, the most unique items I have crocheted were Christmas ornaments, Angel tree topper and snowflakes.
A friend asked me if I could knit a square she wanted made for the original ‘AIDs Quilt’. I made one following a design she had drawn… if was of three birds her friend had had and loved. After that I was asked by two more people to make squares for them. They were all a challenge to make, but it was nice to know they would be seen by people all over the country.
A year ago I crocheted an octagonal afghan for a dear friend’s wedding gift. Each row contained a stitch that was specific to her life; the theater seat stitch (her favorite night out), the leaf stitch (her house is in the woods), double crochet for her new life with her hubby, the seed stitch (they are farmers). All in her favorite colors. She just loved it!!!
I had foot surgery and was going to be off my foot for a couple weeks. I made myself a bottle holder/ phone pocket to hang on my crutches. Helped SO much!
I made a sling cozy for my mother-in-law. She had fallen off her bike and had broken her wrist, so her arm was in a sling. The strap rubbed her neck constantly so I created a “sling cozy” to wrap around the sling strap so that it provided a soft buffer between her neck and the strap. Here’s the link to my project on my ravelry page. 🙂 http://ravel.me/mrsschomer/cfsas

I haven’t been crocheting very long but the most unique thing I’ve done is make up patters for flowers. I like just doing things and seeing what the end product looks like.
Several years ago I wanted to knit a special sweater for my husband in his favorite color peach with a black nordic style pattern on it. We were apart during that time and I had trouble with the size. So I measured it on me, assuming that he was not too much bigger than me. Needless to say, it was too small for him. I had made a gorgeous sweater for myself.
My most unique project I have ever done were three arugarumi stuffed Chthulu monsters in three different sizes. (reference H.P.Lovecraft, author) The smallest one was 2 1/2″ high, for a key chain. One was 4 1/2″ and the last 6 1/2″ that were to be used as bookends for his horror book collection. Just thinking of the little one (done in rainbow colors) makes me giggle.
Black basket with green ghosts for Halloween.

Puppet scarf or maybe fox scarf or maybe catnip mouse…..hard to decide.
Unfortunately I can’t tell you the most unique things I’ve crocheted because they’re in my book coming out in summer 2015, details are still top secret. Second most unique thing was Disney’s Winnie the Pooh collection–Eeyore, Piglet, Pooh, Tigger–so cute!
Well I’m still learning quite a bit, I’m afraid mine is boring, a shawl, but I am in the middle of my first creature, a monster for my daughter.
My most unique project is not just one thing, but a collection! This Christmas I decided to spend less on purchased gifts, and give something truly from my heart. So I am crocheting gifts for everyone in my family. Each person gets something unique. So far I have made 4 hats, 6 scarves, 4 cowls, 2 purses, 1 sweater, 1 toy box, 4 hand puppets, as well as 10 massaging soap savers for all my lovely friends. Only a few things left to make!
A colourful caterpillar

An afghan with over 2000 2″ squares lol 🙂

My Grandmother and Mother-in-law introduced me to the art of crocheting and have continued to self-teach myself along with help from the Internet and youtube.
The Stained Glass Cathedral Rose Afghan
Last year I crocheted 4 afghans for 4 special little ladies. 2 are my neices, the other 2 a little sisters that love my neices like family. While afghans are not unique, the afghans themselves were. I used all discontinued yarns in the girls favourite colours. That way, they are truly 1 of a kind for 1 of a kind girls 🙂
About 6 months ago I picked up my yarn and hook again………..I love it! Not sure why I put it down for so long, but I am back at it trying new things and doing the old too! So much fun!
The most unique project I’ve crocheted has to be my Marge Simpson Halloween Costume. I crocheted a blue hat/wig using the crocodile stitch and also crocheted a green dress!

I would have to say the doll that I crocheted to look like my son. 🙂
The most interesting item I have made is a Down on the Farm Playmat-Really cute but a million ends to weave in
The most unique project I’ve ever Crocheted was a Faux Fur Ear Flap Hat. My hubby is bald and he adores ear flap hats for the warmth. I used the Faux Fur yarn to make it super- soft on his skin and chose a mink color so it was masculine. He loved it! Sometimes I even have to remind him to take it off inside!
Way back in 1978, a friend of mine in the AF, was going to Korea, so I made him some “special” warmers for a certain part of his body. LOL
Loom knitted Teddy Bear made out of rainbow colored yarn (sorry don’t remember the name) that was red heart. May not seem odd to most folks, I never in a million years would have imagined you could make a mini teddy bear that way before I did it. The lady I gave it to calls it her hippie teddy bear!
I crocheted a table runner with no. 10 yarn for my daughter .
I am currently working on a scrap-gan where all of the tails are left out on one side, the other side just looks like a regular afghan made with a half double crochet. My 8 year old Grandson has already claimed it as his own.

I crocheted a valance! It looked okay back then… 😀
Year ago I knitted a Peter Heater as a joke present for a male friend turning 30.
It was a huge hit at his party and everyone was talking about it for months afterwards.
I also made a poem to go with it, but can only now remember the first two lines;
I made this little Peter Heater especially just for you
for lonely nights when the wife is away and I know you’d be feeling blue
The most unique project but maybe to some it wouldn’t be, I made a hat for a young woman in her 20’s who had had a bone marrow transplant. I had to make sure the size came out right and I had to buy the right yarn. I wanted to get a really soft yarn because I already knew she had lost her hair; all her hair and the worst thing she would have to experience would be a coarse yarn. When the young lady saw the hat which was turquoise in color she was so surprised and grateful. She had asked that I would make it turquoise but when she and her mom saw I didn’t have any skeins that color her mother told her to pick another color. Since I had to make a hat I decided to make it the color of her choice. She loved the hat.
I knitted an entralac hat with many points and chaging colors. It was fun to watch it blossom in to a very unique oiece. Difficult at first but well worth the effort, since the first hat I have now knit 3 others for friends.
I think the most unique project I’ve crocheted would have to be a dress I made for a little girl earlier this year. It was done all freehand, with no pattern. It turned out beautifully.
a hooded cape that I wore to the Renaissance festival
I crocheted a minion for my granddaughter! It was difficult too! Lol

I made a crocodile stitch mini skirt for a client. it actually turned out real pretty
Living in a retirement apt complex I volunteer coordinate bingo and am always looking for items to make that I give away during sessions. The one I got the most comment on was my crocheted cactus in its own pot. the comment s surprised me because I live in AZ and cactus ar everywhere.
I designed filet crochet charts of an alphabet and lots of ‘objects’ – smiley faces, crosses, stars, hearts, even golf balls, tees – as fillers between the letters. Then I put these charts together to make afghans for my kids, nieces, and nephews with their names and for my brothers and their wives with their professional symbols and sports objects – no names for the big ‘kids’! I did each afghan in one color continuously working from the bottom to the top! My sister-in-laws still have their afghans draped over their sofas and say they get lots of inquiries and compliments.
I had nothing but time on my hands while in rehab!! And all my family was with me all the way!!
I remember making a bright pink and purple poncho that I wore in grammar school.:)
I have crocheted many afghans for gifts for family and friends. Even had to get one done in three days for a bridal shower gift. God is good and I did it. Big hook and doubled the yarn .

made many hats and scarves for people with in my church .
Crochet whole wardrobe for grandaughter in a two week period before she was born.
Many years ag,,like 50 years ago, I crocheted a pineapple doily,,,actually shaped like pineapple on each end of it,,,then then edges had a space for ribbon to be laced through,,,the the ribbon was turned over in every space and the ribbon stood up like a point of ribbon on a bow,,,really pretty an unusual. I have not seen another one in years.
Being left handed & newly self taught I have yet to venture into wildly unique crocheting but have managed to create a blanket with matching scarf for each of my daughters stuffed animal buddies. They really seam to enjoy them especially camping out.
I crocheted baby newborn set of overall, hat, shoes and nable cover
Not very skilled yet, but I made a prayer shawl that was a unique pattern that I had to increase pattern and then decrease pattern. I had a very talented and patient teacher who turns out the most beautiful items. Thank you to Judy for getting me crocheting again!!
I crocheted dragons for my daughters for Christmas last year. lots of body parts to sew together after but they looked real cute.
The most unique afghan I have made was with my best friend a few yrs. ago. A Victorian
crazy quilt design (crocheted) for Caron yarn co. It was embellished with embroidery along the edges of the different pieces. Just beautiful. It was in Threads magazine. I can’t remember the issue number.
The baby blankets I made for my nieces and nephews. Also the purse I knitted and felted for my mom.
Surgical caps for monkeys for our local exotic pet veterinarian.
I’d have to go with topsy turvey dolls!
My son ran cross country in high school and college. I crocheted him a hat with an attached beard to keep his face warm when he was running in the winter. 6 years later he still wears it AND it still looks new. I also crocheted a SpongeBob SquarePants hat, a panda bear hat and a crazy monkey hat for my grandsons. Red Heart Yarn ROCKS for my crocheting needs!!!
A teenie tiny crab (crocheted)
The most unique thing I’ve ever made has to be one of the two things I made for my brother. One year, it was a pair of Panzer Tank slippers in camo. The next, he got a dark green Cthulu mask. They were both pretty awesome to be able to gift.
I love to crochet. Made several baby afgans with raised teddy bears & daisies for nieces & nephews & than grandbabys. All different types of afgans for family & to sell. Crocheted doilys, Hawaiian hula doll, all types of dolls, beautiful barbie wedding gown. You name it & I’ve tryed it. When I first learned to crochet I could look at a pc. & just do it. Once I learned directions I could no longer make pcs. without directions. Winning would be a great 66th birthday present
Two of my favorite unique projects were a metroid hat for my husband and a Month Python style Black Knight with removable ams and legs.
I crocheted a straw hat out of strips of yellow plastic grocery bags.
A teddy bear.
I guess the most unique thing I’ve crocheted is an heirloom afghan. It took a long time to make. The edging is beautiful. I had to make each strip of the border and sew them onto the blanket. A lot of trial and error went into that blanket to get everything to fit together right. It was worth it tho. I entered it in the fair and got a blue ribbon and grand champion for it. When I went to pick it up the lady thought my grandma made it lol. Guess I looked too young to be able to make something like that.
I am not so imaginative I guess, but I made lots of snowflakes.
Hmmm, I’m thinking the most unique might have been the Knight’s helmets (crochet) but they were also pretty fun & turned out well!!! 😀 Although, the turkey amigurumi might have been a close runner-up LOL
basically it all
Serveral snowman door hangers last year for Christmas
I created a crochet pattern for goldilocks and the 3 bears, which i crocheted up and added the story book. I gave it to my nephew for his 1st birthday. My brother says my nephew loves sucking on the arms. The bears are 100% baby proof.
beautiful scarfs designed by me and baby booty
I haven’t stepped out too far from crocheting the ordinary. But my most unique project was an afghan I made for a friend in college.

I used a pattern to crochet a shawl for a friend, then without a pattern I used a special yarn with tassly type stuff on it and ran rows so that her shawl would appear to look like it had leather tassles.. it was gorgeous.. wish I had written down how I did it. It was totally from my imagination. As long as she loved it, that was all that mattered.
I have only been knitting since this summer, so nothing unusual yet. Maybe what is most unusual is why I am currently knitting a dishtowel — a dark brown towel for him to dirty up when cleaning his cast iron pans 🙂
I crocheted a blanket for a high school friend that had a baby. She had a son and named him Eli and I crocheted his name into the blanket without a pattern. The lines and edges of his name were perfect (I thought). I made it about the size of a queen bed and he still uses it to this day, he is almost 2. My friend has to wash it while he sleeps because he hates being away from his “Manna” blanket.
I crochet constantly, when I’m not working. I crocheted 20 bookmarks with spider webs at one end and a spider at the other. This was for my grade 3 class, that I teach to celebrate our reading of “Charlotte’s Web”. The kids loved them, and I loved making them for them.
Knitted double sided lighthouse pot holders. Had to make the pattern up on graph paper. It was difficult, but turned out unique and my daughter loved them. Thanks

I knitted beaded wire jewelry for friends and family members a few Christmases past.
Crochet stuffed owls for my mom and suster
I would say the most unique project I have made is the dog sweater I am crocheting for my dog now. Not so much what it is, but the design in it. She has a unique body shape–long neck and broad chest for a dog of her size, so I have had to make a lot of modifications to the base pattern I am using (Doggie Snuggle-up by Red Heart.) I am adding a lot of ruffles to make it really pretty, and adding a scalloped edge where the buttonholes will be. She will look very fashionable, and will have a doggie sweater like no other!!!
My most unique was crocheted snowflakes with little clear beads
For Christmas last year I crocheted a dickie for my husband. This summer i crocheted trim for the front of a walker–the lady wanted the colors of her favorite baseball team1

I ended up making a red teardrop stuffed animal with blue arms and legs with the word Zot on the back. It became a hit with the group.
I would work in clothes for #10 granddaughter, I want learn to make leggings!!

The most unique thing I have ever crocheted was a laptop cover for my mom.
I made Easter Bunnies for all my kids when they were little, approximately 30 years ago. They were made using a 2 liter Pepsi bottle. Very cute and took quite some time to make, but was so cute when finished.

When I first learned to crochet, I made a bikini for my baby doll (I was pretty young and learned from a book). 🙂
I’m still learning, but my most unique project so far has been belts for my daughter since she’s allergic to metals on regular belts.
Each grandchild believed his/her baby afghan was the most unique, and lots of love went into each one as well as each replacement for the “binkies” that were loved and chewed down to the last thread! The most unique project was patching one where it unraveled from a hole in the center. Anyone have good instructions for that?
I crocheted an Elsa costume for daughter with Red Heart Sheer in white and turquoise. Also, an Elsa wig to go with the costume.

A king size afghan – all sc.
nothing really unique, crocheted all the Paw Patrol dogs and others!

A shawl for my mother-in-law.
I crocheted my first “adult” sweater last year! i usually make doilies, baby blankets, hats and such. It turned out fantastic!!!!!!
I’m pretty boring in what I make, mostly blankets and scarves but I crocheted a baby cocoon for a friends baby and my cousins baby. It love the look of them but I wasn’t overall impressed with the limited amount of time they can be used so I’ll probably stick with blankets.
The most unique thing I have ever crocheted is probably my Great Danes sweater. He doesnt fit into regular doggy clothes and with such a short coat he needed a sweater. Its a variegated purples and beiges and looks lovely on his jet black coat.
I’ve crocheted Baby Bibs and knitted new born mitts, made also a Granny square afghan . But would like to start making crocheted animals.
Since my son was in a nursing home for over 6 months I made hats,chap stick holders,coasters and other things and gave them away to whomever wanted them it made me feel as though I was making someone happy. I’m working on a rug for a lady there that has helped me a lot threw these last few months.
In my first year of crocheting, I crocheted a chevron blanket for my niece.
My most unique piece was a lap afghan I knitted when I was just starting to get comfortable with it. I alternated the knit and purl stitches to create a woven effect. I am pretty proud of it because I didn’t use a pattern. The idea came from my own mind which I never before had the courage to do even after being a crocheter for 30 years.
King size Bed spread , all on afghan hook, then hand sewed on vines and made 100’s of unique flowers and sewed them throughout the vine. 🙂 weighed about 30 lbs when finished!
Olaf halloween costume, I crochet.
Guess not that creative but I knitted a ruffle scarf before sashay and those kinds or ruffle yarn came out
The most unique would be the Christmas moose I just finished for a friend. She saw the pattern and I noticed it brought a smile to her face so I decided that I am going to surprise her with it as one of her birthday presents. He is a friendly little guy complete with gotee and antlers.
I haven’t made anything really unique….I have knitted an assortment of hats, headbands, scarves, & afghans. Right now, I am working on a mini-afghan for my spoiled dog who loves to sit on my knitting (in progress or completed projects). Maybe if she has her own she can leave mine alone.
I have only been crocheting for a year so havent had any fancy projects. I made a large afgahn for my son. A few little practice blankets for my daughters dolls. I also tried a monkey scarf which didnt turn out so well. Currently im working on 2 baby afgahns.
I’ve knitted and crocheted several sets of leg warmers for my MinPin. Hard to keep warm when you weigh 11 pounds and have no fur on your belly. Pittsburgh can be unforgiving in the winter.
Most unique thing I’ve made so far was a pair of crochet Thing One and Thing Two socks for my daughters crazy sick day at school for spirit week. Everyone loved them and a teacher even asked if I’d make some for her kids.
I created a star wars blanket out of squares from patterns of the star wars characters and spaceships. There were no instructions for assembling them so I improvised using black sparkly yarn. Came out very well.
The most unique item I crocheted was a toy for a baby shower. I used lion brand pattern for stacking toy and changed the pond theme. I made the center a giraffe instead of a turtle, then for the ring I made a lion, zebra, and monkey.
I’m new to crochet but I knitted a lace scarf for my mom’s birthday.
I crocheted a stuffed rabbit with blue overalls and a matching blue baby afghan for my nephew when he was born.
two things, both for my adult son. he asked me to make him a hooded cape. it was crocheted in red with black trim. and i knitted a racer back tank, he calls it a muscle shirt, in black. he’s a unique person. marches to his own drum. next on the list, he’s asked me to help him make a three piece suit…in orange. gotta love m
I have crocheted a wonderful shawl. It was a pretty easy pattern but the first clothing item I crocheted. I also finished two blankets my mom started before she recently passed away. Not necessarily unique but great first projects for me.
I just finished crocheting a burger, fries and 6 donuts for a friend of mine who just loves fast food.
I once made my grandmother a pair of mittens. Not unusual except that she had broken her wrist, so one mitten had to fit over a cast and a set of screws sticking 1/2″ out on each side. It was an interesting look….
I would have to say the most unique thing i have made to date has to be either my dolls or unicorn hats. I love making dolls. They are my favorites, and i try to make all different kinds, from normal to strange, big and small. The unicorn hats, i just had too try. I love making the rainbow hair, lol. Cute and quick to make up.
i love to crochet just about everything …. The most interesting I would say are the animals I’ve made …. Hippo ,panda,5 foot snake , turtle, owls , bears and more !!
I am in the middle of crocheting a death star pillow for my brother-in-law. I have crcheted a top hat for my daughter as well. Nothing really unique.
Bohemian Pouf – just finished it and I love it!
The most unique thing I have even crocheted would be a baby blanket I did for my nephew. It was identical to one that his dad had and loved as a baby
A minion afghan! 🙂
designed afghan dedicated to my sister who recently passed after a sudden, brief, battle with cancer. I designed the “Skerin Aran for My Carolyn” afghan, which has been warmly received.
I designed and knitted unique scarves. No two are alike. I use three yarns held together. Very soft,fluffy and warm.
I taught myself to crochet about a year and a half ago.. All of my skills and everything I know came from video tutorials on YouTube!! I get a lot of negative commentary because of my age for crocheting.. Crochet and knitting have a reputation that only “old people” do it, but I am absolutely in love with the craft and am not ashamed one bit to show off what I have made!! I never leave the house without a ball of yarn and a hook in my purse! I have crocheted A LOT of things in the past year and a half, but I’d have to say the most unique item I have made is my candy corn afghan!!! It consists of 40-some candy corn shaped pieces and is absolutely stunning!! It was my first big project and I love being able to get it out of storage and show it off every Fall!!
I have actually crocheted multiple graph-ghans some designed by hand and others made with a computer program absolutely love the way they turn out. I have become an addict of crochet
I knitted a tree of life afghan, but will never do it again. Took longer than anything else I have ever knitted and I have been knitting for 55 years. I am also proud of the doilly I knit in the round for my dining room table.
I’ve made some unique amigurumi, but I really like one of my WIPs, which is a reversible ripple afghan for my baby (who decided to arrive four weeks early last week!). When I was in the hospital, my nurses kept thinking I was working on two different projects each time they entered my room, when really I was just turning it around for the next row 🙂
The most unique thing I have ever made is an African flower afghan. Now everyone wants one! All are made with Red Heart yarn
I’m kinda new to the whole crocheting more then jus granny squares….right now I’m working on a Winnie the pooh blanket for my daughter….it’s almost the length of a twin bed and I’m not close to being finished lol….oh I did make a hello kitty book bag a cpl yrs ago…it turned out really cool
i have knitted kilt hose from homespun wool that i washed, combed, & spun into yarn from scratch.
I crocheted a stackable ring toy for my granddaughter. Each ring was a different pond friend. The base was a frog. Very cute! She is 4 years old and still plays with it!
I’ve always been scared to try new stitches other than the basic sc and dc. But I am working on gaining self confidence and attempting to make the Sidewalk Shawl which I will be using the shell stitch. I’ve just recently started crocheting again after being taught by my grams when I was 8……26 years later here I am!
I crocheted a bow tie for a small dog, bow tie ended up being bigger than needed so gave it to a larger dog, mine.
The most unique item that I crocheted was a king size afghan for my friends wedding gift.
Mounted moose head
My quit smoking afghan I crocheted almost twenty years ago. I swear it weighed 20 lbs and was 15 feet long. But it helped me to get through long nights, keeping my hands busy.
the cable sleeved poncho for my daughter when she was pregnant. She was always cold.
I’m working on a afghan with a long repeat color changing yarn that is coming out very nice. I will need something else to work on when it’s done and this yarn would sure help!
I once crocheted a giant stuffed dragon for my sister in law! It was darling.
I crocheted a Thomas The Train Afghan fro my grandson for Christmas this past year. I had no pattern, just looked at pictures.
I made a lion halloween costume for my daughter. It was fun making the ears, mane and tail. She looked ferocious in a cute way!
I’ve made a lot of things but im going to say the most unique thing that i’ve made is a Santa suit for my 6 month old

I am currently working on a blanket with cables. I am a fairly new crocheter and this is going to be the most textured item I have done so far.
