I started a collection for Froggy a couple of years ago. I went with something that could be functional but was also decorative. Crocheted Pot Holders. I've given her a couple of them over the last few months but I don't necessarily have pictures of them. I am trying to remember to take pictures of things as I make them.
Here's a few:
Beehive. With bees.
This one was fun, although the bees are smaller than I'd like.
Candy Corn. (Or pie, as Froggy thought!)
I didn't have a pattern for this one, I never could find one I really liked. So I just made a triangle!
Kitty Cat.
This was made from a circular pattern that was actually for something else, I added my own details. Meow! The reverse side looks like a curly tail, which is how the yarn just happened to work out.
This was also one that I didn't have a pattern for, besides the heart. But the heart pattern was actually for something else and I improvised so it could be used as a pot holder.
Chocolate Pop Tart. Because if it's not chocolate, it's not good!
I think all of these are single stitch. They are start with a foundation chain and then a certain number of rows, the round ones involve counting stitches but they are fun even though I don't like to count.
They were fun and quick. I have a few more that I didn't get pictures of, including two cookies and a bear's head that is still under construction but is similar to the cat's face.
EDIT: I think I may have a few pictures of the earlier pot holders I made for Froggy. I'll do a separate post with them in the next few days.
2ND EDIT ADDED TO:
I spent a few days in Texas with Froggy. I got pictures of some of the earlier pot holders I made for her. She has been using them. Here they are:
Watermileon slice. This one was made as a circle, then folded in half and stitched together at the edges. It was a lot of fun. I think it was triple stitch, but it's been several months and I can't remember for sure. It might be double stitch.
This is an orange slice, I was never happy with it but Froggy likes it so I'm not complaining! It's been used, as you can tell by the stains on it. Which is a good thing, they can be decorative but they are also meant to be used.
