It is time for the Summer 2026 Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along! Today is Day 1 of the Summer Cookout Mini Amigururmi Crochet Along. For the next 2 weeks every day except Sunday I will be sharing a new mini amigurumi pattern that fits the Summer Cookout theme. Think different foods and drinks you might see at a backyard barbecue in the summer. Today we are starting with one of the first foods I think of when I think of a summer cookout- a Tiny Hot Dog.

A couple of months ago I went to Micheals and saw that they had some new Caron Cakes, both new types and new colors. I try not to buy yarn without a specific project in mind because I have plenty of yarn I need to use up, but I decided to pick up a few of the new Caron Cakes. I used one in kind of bright pastel rainbow colors around Easter time to make a colorful bunny, but another of the cakes that I picked up was this Sweetie Cakes.

I feel like we just finished the Spring Crochet Along and it is already time to announce the Summer 2026 Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along. Last year I waited until later in the summer to start planning my summer crochet along, and before I knew it the summer was over and I never found time to fit in the crochet along, so this year I am doing it earlier. July will be super busy for me with different camps my kids and I are involved with so I knew if it was going to happen this year it had to be in June. For this crochet along I decided I wanted to do something a little different than others that I have done, a food theme. More specifically the theme of a ...

It is June 1st, which means it is time for the next Bear of the Month. This is Bear number 6, and that means we are halfway done. This month I had a really hard time deciding what to make. I wanted a bear that would represent summer, but there were several different summer activities I could have chosen and it was hard to choose which one to go with, but I ended up deciding on...

When I was making the Bear of the Month for May, the Little Graduate Bear, I had the idea to make a few different animals in the same size that could fit the little grad cap. I looked up some of the most common animal mascots and started planning which ones to make. But then I realized that realistically I didn't have time to make a bunch of different animals, designing a bunch of new pattern, because graduation season is already here.

The first day of May means it is time for another bear! This is bear number 5 in the Bear of the Month Crochet Along. This month I had a few ideas of what to make, but ultimately I kept coming back to making a smaller version of a bear I had made previously, similar to what I did with the Leprechaun and the Pumpkin Bears. The bear for May is the...
