Lots! - Bunny
Pattern Source: March/April 1997 issue of Quick & Easy Crochet magazine. I do not know if back issues of Quick & Easy Crochet can be ordered. If you wish to try, the address in the front of the magazine is P.O. Box 7129, Red Oak, IA 51591-0129. - Bunnies on seesaw
The seesaw has a music button hidden in its base. These bunnies were very quick to make since they're only about 6" tall; I finished the whole thing -- bunnies, clothing and seesaw -- in less than a week. The seesaw is made of a plastic canvas base (filled with navy beans to give it weight; the book suggested unpopped popcorn, but the beans were what I had and they work fine), and a ruler covered in plastic canvas for the board part. The whole thing has a crocheted cover, of course. Everything else is just plain worsted-weight yarn stuffed with polyester fiberfill, including the seesaw handles. They are now happily see-sawing in my mom's house. Pattern Source: Leisure Arts leaflet #2474, Musical Cute Couples to Crochet. The leaflet is also available from Country Yarns. - Seesaw bunnies (other side view)

[1/19/2004] This was my first attempt at making a clothing item freeform, using a basic stitch but no actual pattern. Except for the fact that I crochet pretty tightly and therefore always end up getting the size wrong (this is very tight on me, so I ended up giving it to my mother, who's smaller than I am), it came out really nice. I used a basketweave stitch done by doing 4 front-post dc alternating with 4 back-post dc. I did it in rounds so I didn't have to sew -- worked from the bottom up, then did rows starting from the armpit, and decreased at the neckline to give it almost a V-shape. I slip-stitched the shoulder seams and crocheted the sleeves right onto the body rather than making them separately and sewing. I have since made another for myself. Pattern Source: Original. I did not write out the pattern, just free-formed it. - Carousel
Pattern Source: The doily pattern came from the April 1997 issue (#114) of Crochet Fantasy. I do not know if they sell back-issues, but you can call 800-877-5527 or visit their website to find out. The leaflet with the carousel itself, South Maid's Victorian Ponies and Bears, came from Herrschners crochet threads catalog, but I'm sorry to say I don't have the item number on hand. The number on the leaflet itself is Book 2414. Call 800-441-0838 to ask if Herrschners still carries it. Alternatively, you can write to: COATS & CLARK INC., 6900 Southpoint Dr. N., Jacksonville, FL 32216. NOTE: I designed the horses' saddles myself; for that pattern click here. - Carousel Rug
I have made several of these as baby gifts; it's my favorite baby pattern. Pattern Source: Crochet With Heart, August 1998 issue. This magazine is now defunct and I'm told it's extremely hard to find this back issue. - Cat on bicycle filet
