I remember the days when my cousins were always playing with their Tonka trucks, so crocheting a digger loader toy is such a fun and unique idea! I love all the little details that add so much character to this design.
Dedri, the pattern designer over at Look At What I Made, designed the toy using the linen stitch, but the scoops and buckets on the digger are crocheted by working over the top of slip stitches to create a sturdy piece that holds its shape.

14. Firefighter Helmet
This Firefighter Helmet by Micah York is so adorable! Whether for Halloween or everyday play time, this hat is sure to be a hit. It looks as much fun to crochet it as it would be to wear it!
