Bring a touch of enchantment into a child's life with Frog Charming by Toni Rexroat. I was
inspired by the story of the frog prince who fetched the princess's favorite
ball after it was lost down a well. This fun crocheted toy is perfect for a
little boy or girl, a great project for any crocheter who loves amigurumi.

Crochet a Lamb by

by encasing an armature of cotton batting wrapped with yarn with a crocheted
fleece.
