I’m not sure what the fascination is with chunky chickens, but the Mabel Chicken pattern by Oak and Marlow has become an absolute best-seller this past year for many crochet market makers. Since I started making them, I have nearly sold out at every show I have done. These are my number one best-seller, so I wanted to take time to share with you all that I’ve learned about this awesome pattern.
Jungle animals have been some of my best-sellers lately, so I was super excited to try out the lion pattern. With the popularity of jungle animals as favorites for kids, making a few of these lions for your next market is a no-brainer! Not only would a large lion make the perfect statement piece, but you will be sure to sell some to some lion-loving kiddos!
As a contributor for the EyeLoveKnots blog, sometimes I get super cool opportunities! Recently, Alexandra (the amazing crochet designer and blogger behind EyeLoveKnots, Cre8tion Crochet, and OnRockwoodLane) reached out to me about receiving an early release copy of Lauren Espy’s newest book, Animal Amigurumi Adventures Vol. 2: 15 (More!) Crochet Patterns to Create Adorable Amigurumi Critters from Blue Star Press. Of course, I said yes in a heartbeat!
