Amigurumi spiders

These has to be my best amigurumi that I have done maybe so far. I made no patterns for these and as you can see they are different sizes. How I came about these spiders is I wanted to make a Halloween costume for my grandson. I wanted to attach them to a web cape. I did the cape but I store bought smaller spiders as mine were too big and heavy. So pleasd with the results I wanted to make more but our yarn colours are very limited. It is a big store but you can't find th colours that you like. there are wires in these spiders I usually try to eliminate eyes and wires so my grand kids can play with them. As you can s they are very cute

Amigurumi toys

I saw these lovely free patterns and I had to make them. The dog is not small but he is a cute dog. I like how it turned out. I made his overalls myself not from a patterns but the lady has overalls too. She has another type of dog and a cat. I simple loved this dog so I just made him for now. I might make them later. It is from amigurumi today If I'm not mistaken. I also made this teddy, he is tiny but the colour I've used is not as nice. They use different yarn to make this small teddy but I think it is not strong enough. I thought it was cute. I am very selective in what I make I have to like them. It is also a free pattern but I'm afraid this one is in different language. I don't put wires and safety eyes in my toys lately. I don't know what I touched to make it in italics. Here are the pictures of them.

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.

Amigurumi toy

I just love this toy. It is cute but I don't think it is safe for kids. I wouldn't give one to a kid I feel the hands are not strongly attached but still cute. I have been wanting to make one of these and postponed. i followed a pattern which was in a different language and then when I couldn't understand I continued on my own like the feet and part of the hat. I often tend to do that but at least I get to finish it. It was suppose to have wings but I couldn't be bothered.

Men boutonnieres

I had to make a few for the fathers and all the grooms men. It was their wish to make so many. You can see a smaller one for the Paige boy who was not even three years old.

Cute toys

I made these for my etsy store I like to have variety of choices for all different ages. I liked making these toys and it was my own pattern. I can never write a pattern because when I see how people wrote their pattern looks rather complicated. You can tell they all different sizes I just make it as it comes I only count the amount of rows I did for the legs and arms. I make their clothes to fit each one. They are all cute and special, I hate to part from them. I put so much love into them. If someone else gets to enjoy them as much as I loved making them it is good enough for me.

Amigurumi Elf

This elf, I have to say it is my favourite. It is very cute and I love how it turned up. I used a gingle thing to go instead of a pompom for a change. This also was done in 4 ply cotton. I like how small and cute they turn up. The elf is also free pattern and again not in English but you can get by if you have experience in making these kind of toys. This toy also fits in Santa's bag so far all the toys fits in his bag. I will try and make a green elf. Here you can see how cute he is with the snow flake and shoe lace.

Amigurumi cute little frog

I wanted to make another adorable frog but different because I liked the green one I made. I used blue and red like a poison frog as my daughter said because I don't know much about frogs. It is fairly easy to make It is from a free pattern but I always change or add where I don't like. I love those eyes they are glass ones and really nice. You should give this a go you can find the pattern on pinterest.com. Some sewing involved as usual but still you will feel great when the toy is finished. This toy won't be good for small kids as it has wires and the eyes. Here are the pictures of my frogs.

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.

 

Cute amigurumi duck

I researched for something cute to make for Easter. I thought I make something small for my grandson. I used the head a body from this pattern, the rest, I made it from my head. My grandson is over two years now and he will play just for a little while with this toy. He will be supervised because of the eyes when he plays with it. He is more into trucks. I don't think ducks have that thing on their heads but I thought it looked cuter with it. I have to try a small thing that I will make to see if I can fluff this wool without ruining the actual duck. It didn't take long to make but I researched for better wings to make. I found this one which I like very much but I can't make the left side. I tried to make it with my left hand but I can't do it. Maybe one of you know how to make the right side of the wing and share it. I am pretty pleased with the result. I used pipe cleaners for the legs. I think my grandson would love this duckling.

Sock monkey from Amigurumi to go

Sock monkey from the free pattern from Amigurumi to go. I wanted to make this monkey for so long. I don't know why it took so long for me to make one. Sharon's monkeys are so cute and the patterns are easy to follow. It is not very big, that apple is medium size. It is good for a baby to handle but you need to put embroidery eyes so it is more safe. I am always searching for free patterns with challenges. I haven't got bored yet making amigurumi toys. I am a little busier these days and I can't make as much as I used to do. Anyway till next time stay safe and take care whoever reads this blog.

Hat

I made this hat  and I had to change everything about the pattern. The pattern was too small with one yarn so I did use two yarns. I still had to change the googles pattern it was way too small. I stitched the white line by hand. I had trouble doing it with the hook. The back is not that wonky let's hope it looks good on it is certainly warm hat for winter. I think I will add straps so he can tie it to his chin.

Black and white Zebra

I made this Zebra from the book Edward's Menagerie. My youngest daughter gave it to me for Christmas. I only did one thing and I decided to make more. It is hard to work with black wool but it does look nicer. This toy is safe for younger kids and the eyes have been embroidered. I enjoyed making it. The mane is different it doesn't explain how so I made up my own. It looks better and also the tail I couldn't understand what he meant.

little chihuahua

I made this little chihuahua from a free pattern that I found in free amigurumi. I like to make small things but they are very challenging to make. It is very fiddly and I think it takes longer too to finish them but they are cuter. It is not hard to do for you out there who wants to give it a go. I made about six of them already. I keep giving them away so I will make one for me to keep. I usually don't like to make the same toy over and over but i do want one of each toy I make. I have never counted them but I think I have made over a hundred so far. To think I just started with a ball, then a ball with eyes. Followed by a snake and then a giraffe with a small blanket. Then I could read patterns and here I am a year it has been. I used to make one a day. I usually work on them after dinner, while the tv is on. It is a great hobby and very rewarding. Anyway about this chihuahua I wasn't very happy so I left it in a bag because in my eyes it wasn't perfect. I thought I will put it together anyhow and I added a flower which made all the difference. This is definitely not suited for little kids. ok here it is

Little kitty

I made this lovely kitty which I think you will like as well. I made this from Chica outlet. I always put the link to the patterns for you to let you know where I get them. So if you would like to try them it is there. This one is fairly easy. If you use contrasting colours will look great I reckon. It is great for little children as there are no safety eyes no choking hazards. I have to research about the whiskies I'm not quite sure how they stick them on. There is also a flower if you would like to insert one I didn't. Anyway here is the picture of my little kitty cat.

Makka Pakka

I made Makka Pakka for my grandson and future grand children. I didn't have any pattern for it. Trial and error. I hesitated to finish it as I found oblong head hard to do. I made one and it came a little too small. I'm happy with the finished toy. I find it very satisfying that it looks a bit like the toy I tried to imitate. Here is a picture of the toy I tried to make and my one.

beautiful bug

I love this pattern of this bug. It was easy but I had a little problem with the wings. I am going to make another one different colors. I bought the pattern. I wish I can make my own but I was always good in copying then creating, who know maybe one day I come up with something good. I knew that the wings were done this way but following someone else could be confusing at times. You too should try one of these bugs. They are so cute.

Amish ball

Isn't this cute and soft. I made this Amish ball from this pattern. It is easy to do give it a try. It is fun for kids and they are not going to hurt themselves with it. It is also a puzzle ball. You can mix and match any colors. So here is my picture of my Amish ball.

Miku the doll

I haven't posted anything for  awhile. I have been doing amigurumi but this doll took me awhile to finish it. This was a challenge to make as the pattern was not explained properly sometimes I found it hard to understand at times but because I have some knowledge of some dolls I could make it. I am happy with the result. There was photos of the hair but I actually learn more from a video. Anyway here is my miku doll

Some of the toys I did so far

I made these amigurumi toys, some from free patterns,I actually bought one pattern and about five I made without a pattern. I have gifted four. Since that photo I have made an extra five.I have made all these since about six months ago. I still have a lot of passion for this amigurumi craft.
