Four Pocket Pixies

A couple weeks ago, a work friend asked if I could crochet a little fairy for her friend's four year old daughter. She was looking for something to go with fairy books she was mailing.

I found this free pattern for Pocket Pixies designed by Jade at Sweet Softies. I followed her pattern closely using a variety of yarns from my stash. I made one then wanted to try a couple more using different colours and hair techniques. 

Our granddaughter enjoyed naming them. As I finished, I would send her a photo and she would name it without hesitation. 

I had planned to stop at three Pocket Pixies, but our youngest grandson, wanting to get in on the name game, asked me to call the next one Fiona. Who can resist such a sweet request? 

In the end, I made Four Pocket Pixies. Introducing Flower, Crystal, Tulip and Fiona (left to right in the order they were made). 

I like the look of each Pocket Pixie, but I think my fourth and final one named Fiona was my favourite. 

What do you think? Do you have a preference?

An Elf Named Aspen

Our Granddaughter has a knack for picking great names, so I asked her to name my most recent crochet creation. I love the name she chose. I think it suits this little elf perfectly. 

Introducing An Elf Named Aspen. Aspen is simply adorable.

Aspen enjoyed her photoshoot outside in nature today with the sun shining brightly. She was also happy to pose indoors spinning round to show off her ruffled skirt, dapper red vest and cozy red and white striped hat and pompom.

 

For the crocheters out there who might like to make a similar looking little elf, I followed this pattern for Jovie, the Christmas Elf. This toy is handmade by me from a design and pattern by Knit A Miracle by Nelly.

I plan to make more in different colours with different accessories perhaps. I like to change things up just enough to keep it interesting. As always, I will be sure to share photos if and when I finish another.
