Happy New Year!

Oh my goodness! What a whirlwind 2021 has been. Thanks to all my followers for supporting me throughout the year. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every issue, and I appreciate all the love for the designs I publish. Here’s to an even better 2022!

Are you ready for 2021 to be over? Looking forward to 2022? Here in Texas we’ve been having beautiful spring-like weather. Christmas Day it got up to 84 degrees, and we were playing with a pinata in the backyard. It looks like that’s about to change. There’s a cold front headed for the southern portion of the United States. Saturday is New Year’s Day, and we’re supposed to have a high of 79 degrees, then a 50-degree drop by Saturday night. I know by the time it gets dark, I’ll be on the sofa crocheting with a nice fire going in the fireplace. At least I’ll get to use the marshmallows I bought for making smores at Christmas. What are your 2022 crochet plans?

Bat Trick or Treat Bag Crochet Pattern

bat treat bag

Halloween is such a fun time to crochet! Last year I designed treat bags in the shape of Witch’s Hats and Eyeballs. This year bats seem to be popular, so I made a cute little Bat Treat Bag.

Rnd 1: Ch 2 (or magic circle), sc 6 in second ch from hook. Do not join. Work in continuous rnds throughout.

Rnd 2: 2 sc in each sc (12 sc).

Rnd 3: *1 sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc,* repeat around (18 sc).

Rnd 4: *1 sc in next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc,* repeat around (24 sc).

Rnd 5: *1 sc in next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc,* repeat around (30 sc).

(24 sc). Join with sl st.

Rnd 18: *Sc, ch 1, skip 1 sc,* repeat around. Join with sl st. Fasten off.

Drawstring: Make a chain 12″ long and knot both ends. Pull through loops made in Rnd 18.

WINGS: (Make 2)

Row 2: Ch 1, turn, dec, sc in next 5 sts, 3 sc in next st, sc in next 5 sts, dec (15 sc).

Rows 3-4: Repeat Row 2.

Weave in all ends.

Sew or glue on google eyes. Fill your bat with candy!

Zoo Blog Hop Day 27 – Platypus

platypus crochet pattern
It’s unofficial Platypus celebration day at Ruth Haydock Designs. Pam the Playtpus loves sunny days and blue skys. She also loves to swim in calm rivers and won’t touch the sea.
Pam is a really quick crochet pattern made with small amounts of yarn.  As she’s Australian, her blue top is actually a “rashie,” a rashie is a top for sun protection so she can continue to spend lots of time outdoors. Isn’t she adorable!
