Amigurumi dragon

I was giving lots of wool and I found us for them her in making this toy. I made many patterns from amigurumi bb and many times I wanted to try this dragon and many times I put it off. Finally I got to make it and since I had four 50 grams balls of wool I made it colourful as you can see. It is fairly easy to crochet if you are used to amigurumi. However there is a lot of sewing in this toy. It is a free pattern so it won't cost you anything to make it. My grandson loved it he will sleep with it he told me. he looks good with his big eyes. I actually thought it was way bigger toy but not really. I do love amigurumi bb's patterns. Good luck with yours if you give this a try.

 

Crochet colourful blanket

When you are given lots of yarn and it is textured and you don't know what to do with it, a good way is to make blankets. I made one not quite similar to this but same manner and I liked it so I wanted it like it more then stripes. I have different colour black and faded colour but it is very useful to cover little kids with it while napping. I used  a lot of different blues here all was given to me that I thought I will not use for amigurumi. The yarn had different texture it is a very good way to used it this way. I had two different colour blacks and different yarn like acrylic and wool. The light blue yarn was thin different ply so I worked it with two strands. Without planning anything working as I go I must admit I like the results. I thought I will show you this project.

Amigurumi elephant

This is a Spanish free pattern which I found on pinterest. I wanted to make an elephant as they say it is a good luck charm for one of my sisters. Superstitions  I know and I don't believe it. I looked for some small amigurumi  elephants and this one tickled my fancy. I had a quick look to see if I can understand the pattern and voila it is done. I had to add to the ears as I saw them small . it looked like mouse's earsand now more like human lol oh well it can never be perfect. I like his mouth and this pattern doesn't have much sewing which I liked. I think I  would fix something if I do it again. I added eye lashes which you can hardly see and a recycle ribbon haha from Easter eggs.

Handmade Crochet Girl's sweater

I just love making these sweaters. They are so easy and they look so cute. I made these with 5 ply acrylic yarn. Easy free pattern from bernat and there is a you tube video instruction. I also love the combinations I used. The trouble with these are you need to be careful with the sleeves as to not loose stitches. I need to figure a way to also make the joining part straight somehow it comes slanting. I embroidered the eyes because buttons are choking hazards. I also put buttons at the back cause I saw the neck circumference small. I was saying about hazards but hopefully at the back is quite safe. still it is a nice project to make.

Amigurumi pig

I wanted to make this pig for my niece. She happen to love pigs. I liked his face and this is a free pattern. The problem is that it is in Russian but if you have followed Russian patterns before you will be able to make this pig. Since I don't read Russian I didn't understood when I should have put the eyes on so I had to embroidery them at the end. She has a techinc how to twist the head and movable legs. I just saw pictures and tried to copy. I couldn't google translate or copy and paste anything. It is a pity there are so many free Russian patterns which I dare not try. I have tried and stopped finishing them where I find I can't keep going. I have made pigs before I like his ears

Crochet sweater

I had yarn and wanted to use it so I searched for something that I can do. I came across this beautiful sweater. There is also a video on you tube I think it is by Bernat yarn. I love the fact there there is something on the front. I like the combination of colours. It is really not hard to make if you can you can follow the video as well. This is made in 5 ply yarn I usually like to use 8 ply yarn. It is very useful to make it for kids. I thought the opening for the head is small so I did an opening at the back. You can alter how you please once you understand how it is done. I still have to attach the buttons on I bought them already.

Crochet handmade girl's coat

I saw this crochet coat and I liked it so much that I had to make it. I like the ears on the hood and the bow at the back. I had to follow a video and I wanted to use her colours yarns too but here we haven't got a big selection.It is not hard to make and since I have grandsons only it will be on etsy. I would like to make one in a single crochet but it might take forever to make. I still haven't found the correct buttons for it. I like to make them in dusty pink or purple pink. I am still looking for the correct buttons My last resolution is white. I love the ears on the hood. Here is the girl's coat.
