New Petal Baby Blanket and First Bear Crochet Pattern

Perfect for that new baby. Pattern includes detailed instructions for blanket (approx. 35 x 40") and a baby's first bear. Lots of pictures and tips to help you finish your blanket and bear. Bear has stitched eyes and blanket is soft and washable, perfect for lots of hugs. 


Sample was made with Caron Simply Soft Baby Yarn (lovely by the way) in Tiny Sprite, My Princess, Baby Pink and My Sunshine. You will need 3 skeins of Tiny Sprite and 2 skeins of each of the other colors to finish both the blanket and bear. Uses a size F (3.75 mm) and size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook. 
Skill level = advanced beginner/intermediate. Bear is crocheted in the round. 
Since a different color is used for each individual row in the blanket there are a lot of ends to weave in, but the ending results are worth the extra work.

New Little Teddy Bear

Some of you have asked for smaller toys and stitched/embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes.

I'm thrilled to introduce the first pattern in my new "Little" collection. This cute ted uses worsted weight yarn and a size E (3.5 mm) hook. You will need to know basic crochet stitches and how to crochet in the round to finish your ted. Finished size approx, 6 and 1/2" from top of head to bottom of feet (not counting ears).

Pattern includes detailed instructions (in English) a materials list, photos and notes and tips to help you finish your bear. 

New photos for help stitching eyes have also been added to the tutorials page here. 

New Teddy Bear Back Pack Pattern

Perfect for trips to Grandma's house. Made with worsted weight yarn (two strands held together), a J hook and basic crochet stitches. Please remember, yarn stretches so unless you plan on lining your bag and straps, I wouldn't put anything real heavy in your Teddy Bear Back Pack.

Simply Cute Teddy Bear Back Pack Pattern now available from Teri Crews Designs, Ravelry, Craftsy and Etsy.

What's New September 4, 2013

Now that our company has gone home and the house is finished, it's time to get back to work.

Besides crocheting, I love to knit and have had a couple knitting patterns in the making for quite a while, but this week I'm determined to make some progress.  Although I have several in the making, I'm pretty sure the first one I'll be introducing will be...a bear of course. So far so good, but still a long way to go. Hopefully some knitted "cuties" will be in the making soon.

Happy Knitting.

Sharing hugs

Couldn't resist showing off a crocheter's finished teddy bear blanket and sweet pup enjoying the hugs. Thank you for sharing.

Love Those Bears

Can't help it, I'm a bear lover. So I had to have another one. This sweet cub is approx. 16 inches tall from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. His pattern comes with instructions to make both the flower and the bow. So make him in your favorite colors or match a baby's nursery for a sweet gift.

Favorite Teddy Bear is made with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together throughout. You will need to know basic crochet stitches (i.e., single crochet, double crochet) and how to crochet in the round.

Patterns are available now through the website, Ravelry, Etsy or Craftsy

New Crochet Patterns

I've been wanting to get some crochet patterns down on paper (so to speak, how about typed and saved on my computer), but thinking about it and actually doing it have definitely been two different things. I'm thrilled to say it's happening. Two are finished and more are on in the making.

I've added both new patterns to the Etsy shop, "The Wool Purl" and my Ravelry Store is up and running.

Both patterns are quick and easy so you can have them finished in no time. You might even get them done in time to wrap and give as a gift.

Simply Cute Lamb is 12 inches tall and uses worsted weight and boucle yarn with a G hook. Simply Cute Bear is 11 inches tall and also uses worsted weight yarn and a G hook. Both patterns can be crocheted with smaller hooks and lighter weight yarn for a smaller tighter gauge toy.
