CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — Bernie Sanders went from becoming a hit meme to a nearly $20,000-crochet doll in less than a week.

After the Vermont senator went viral on social media for his simple Inauguration Day fashion choices of quirky brown mittens and over-sized olive-green coat, Tobey King in Texas got to crocheting.

She turned the sensational image that trended for days on social media into a 9-inch crochet doll.

While not everyone can afford to buy Bernie for this price, I found for you another super cute Bernie Sanders  by crocheter and photographer  Anna Malina White



Bernie is 17 cm in a standing position.

 


 I have used  Scheepjes softfun yarn to make him and 2,5 tulip hook.
 

Stuffed with toy filling. I was Inspired by Tobey King’s success with her Bernie doll. 

Actually, it inspired my sister-in-law who asked me to make one for her 😊 it turned out to be fun as i have already made a few lookalike characters and I also love making look alike pets.

I guess we all love the look of Granny Squares, they are also fast to make and very versatile.    In this tutorial I am sharing how to crochet a solid Granny Square without any holes.    This design is super beautiful and easy to make. You can make them with one color or multiple of different colors.  You can use this pattern to make one solid blanket or to make many and join them later. I love to use this pattern as a bottom of my bags or baskets so nothings is going to fall of them.   Written Pattern   You can start or with a chain and slip stitch to make a ring. Or simply make a magic ring which I prefer since there would be no hole in the middle.  1 Row Start with chain3, 3dc, (1tr, 3 dc)*3, sl st in chain 3 2 Row (and like that crochet each row until you get the size you want) (Chain 3, 2dc, into the same stitch where you slip stitch), (3dc, ( 2dc, 1tr, 2 dc into the treble stitch of the previous row))*3, 2 dc,  sl st into chain of 3

Hey guys!! Today I am inviting you to see how I recycle my crochet bag into my crochet Hat. I had many Bags but not even one hat. And all I wanted is crochet Bucket 👒.  So I thought to do an experiment and see how any crochet circle can become a crochet bucket hat. I made some  mistakes on my way but at the end I got a very perfect looking hat. At the beginning I left a circle too big about 20 cm but later I shrinkeeduced it too 18 cm. And it became just right!! My circle starts with 8 sc but you can also start with 6 sc.       R1: Magic Circle 8sc => 8 stitches R2: inc 1 st in every st => 16 stitches R3: inc 1 st in every 2 st => 24 stitches R4: inc 1 st in every 3 st => 32 stitches R5: inc 1st in every 4 st => 40 stitches etc. Then I crochet for 7 cm with no increase. R1 crochet (8 sc, inc) R2,R3 1sc into each stitch R4 ( 9sc,inc) R5,R6  1sc into each stitch R7 ( 10 sc, inc) R8  1sc into each stitch R9 ( 11
