Amigurumi giraffe

I made this giraffe simply because I haven't done one. I searched for a nice giraffe on pinterest and google. I also searched for a free pattern I was looking for this type of giraffe. My youngest grandson started to hold toys in his hands and this one will be safe for him. It measures 36 centimeters a little tall then I imagined. I picked blue and white for this giraffe and embroidered eyes. I like how it came but the pattern was in a different language and I google translate it. it is a good toy for him to sleep with. I don't like how the ears are maybe I misunderstood somewhere. I should have made adjustments myself but I thought it might look good. The legs are a bit long too but kids don't know the difference. I Like the colours I used to make it. Here are the pictures of my giraffe.

Bunny boy and bunny girl amigurumi toys

I wanted to make something that my little grandson could hold without hurting himself. He likes to hold your finger. I was searching for something to make and voila I saw a girl rabbit and since it is for a boy I didn't make the skirt. I also made it longer then the pattern. I also made the girl rabbit cause my youngest daughter liked it. I already gave the toy to my grandson he loved it. It is fairly safe as it has no safety eyes. They are embroidered. I also made a small flower near one of the ear of the girl rabbit. I made a longer skirt  and changed where I started the skirt. Very easy to make and also quick not much sewing required. Here are my rabbits.

Another item the frog

How this came about is I was looking for small toys to make that doesn't need much work. They all take so much time to make each toy. I decided to sell some at a market but I am about to be put off. Why? it is because you need a certificate for public liability and cost about $100 for three months. I don't know if I sell anything there. last year I went and there weren't much people as far as I know. Well I saw this frog that comes with a free pattern and I thought it is cute. I changed very little in this pattern. The lady did awesome job designing it and her explanation is great. I like her idea for webbed feet that idea I didn't use it before. Also I liked how she used her wiring. I have bee crocheting toys close to two years or more and am still learning. I thought this would be a faze and I will stop after a few months but I am still doing new stuff and always feel pleased with the results. This week I saw all the toys that I made and are at home, gee! I have so many. I gave many to my grandson what ever he liked to have. I haven't got many multiples because I don't like repeating the pattern much except after some months. Ok here are the pictures of my frog I think you agree it is cute.

 

Humpty Dumpty

I made this Humpty Dumpty my own pattern which I will try it out again. I searched and searched for a nice pattern and I found an excellent one at crochet creation by Alison. I msg her on facebook and she replied that she doesn't have the pattern yet that she will get back to it when she has time. it was late for me so I tried it out I unpicked 6 times in making the body I didn't even like the last one but I thought I would see how it finishes up. I was satisfied with the body at the end. I attached all the pieces which were many and made the hair. What I found hard is the eye brows and the white in the eyes. I tried different ideas for the eyes and at the end I made the ball separate and white on top. I could have done just the black and let the white show from underneath but I had trouble attaching the black thing.I also put a rattle inside. I am happy with the result at the end.

My second try of making a doll

I almost succeeded in writing the pattern for this doll. I need to write the head and the hat. I tried making bigger head but I think it doesn't look that cute. So I will make a smaller head and hat. The dress is also a little wider I think it looks nicer. So I still need a little work on this doll but at least I have a lot done for the pattern. I used less lines because the doll is small and I think maybe it looks better. The hair is also different. I used just a strand of wool for the first doll I untwisted one peace of wool into four peaces. the last one I left the wool as it was. I wanted to experiment and see which one will be cuter. I think the first one has better head, hat and hair. Here is the photo of them.

My very own amigurumi doll

I tried to make an amigurumi toy so I can write my first pattern. Mind you the draft I had for my toy wasn't at all the end of this doll. I have to try and make a pattern for this doll now. I actually didn't like her at first and also after I made her dress. I liked her with the hat. She looks pretty with that hat. The colours are green and red. It looks like there is white on the photo. I also did her hair thin I don't like it on her this thin. The legs and body are one piece. Twenty three centimeters  long. If I manage to make the pattern I will be very happy.
