These cute little pickles work up quick and are easy to make. I made some for an event I set up at and they sold really well.

Here's what you will need to make a pickle.

  • A crochet hook I used a G hook
  • Any yarn I used worsted weight 4 ply
  • A small amount of stuffing
  • Scissors
  • Yarn needle to hide your tail
  • Safety eyes I didn't use any

Abbreviations (U.S. Terminology)

Sc - Single Crochet
Inc - Increase
Dec - Decrease
Bo - Bobble stitch
Yo - Yarn over
Rnd - Round

Special Stitch

Bobble Stitch - (Bo)

Here's how to work a bobble stitch

Yo insert hook into stitch, Yo pull up a loop, Yo pull through two loops on hook, repeat until you have a total of six loops on your hook, Yo and pull through all six loops. Bobble stitch made. Now continue to work your pattern for a few stitches and push your bobble stitch to right side of work.

Rnd 3: Sc, inc x4 (12 sts)
Rnd 4: Sc, Bo, 10 sc (12 sts)

Grandma Leona's Hot Pad

This is a short blog about  Grandma Leona's Hot Pad by  Kathleen Mower at  Miss Abigail's Hope Chest . I can not take any credit for this pattern, Kathleen gets all the credit for this pattern. I am only wanting to promote this free pattern, and show you my work. This hot pad does not use any special stitch, just a simple single crochet stitch. However its the way you make the single that makes this hot pad thick and durable, and here's how. The rows overlap the previous row. I have not done this technique before, but it's really easy to learn. This hot pad has become one of my favorites to make because of the thickness and sturdiness of the finished product, and I like to use 100% cotton so it holds up to the heat better.
