This is a different language free pattern. You need to be experienced in crocheting to make this one. I wish to make a white one. I like the size of this doll. Where I didn't understand I used my knowledge. Like the boots finished different then mine. I think it was crab stitch but I did mine similar to picot but not exactly that. I also couldn't understand the first two rows of the dress so I made it as I know how. It actually look very similar. Sometimes I wish I can understand their languages there are some cute patterns out there. I make what I think I can do and leave the once that I think I can't do. In white it is nicer I think silly me I had white.

Lola
This amigurumi is from a video on youtube but I changed it so much that you can hardly tell it is from that pattern. Her body, head and hands are from the video. It is her eyes that were suppose to be very big and stuck with glue and I don't think that is safe for kids. I rather embroidered them and I also made a nose. I never separated the yarn for the hair so I will never do that again. I will have to separate the yarn at least in half. It looses strength when you separate the yarn into 4 so I will try in half at least. I added lashes as well. I liked how it turned up. I should try a bit of blush in her cheeks and knees she will look better.

Amigurumi ant
I love this amigurumi ant. It is not an English pattern. It is Russian I think but a free patttern too. I am sure there were some instructions which I couldn't understand so I used my logic of how I think it should be. This one I incorporated wires in the hands and feet. I embroidered the eyes as I tried to crochet them and they were turning out to be very big for the face. I saw one that had striped top it looked nicer then just plain colour yarn. I like the way his tongue is between his mouth. I have learnt new technic making this ant. I love how it turned out but if I make another one will have to put wires so it can hold itself better. Still very pleased with the result.

Amigurumi doll
I called this one a clown doll it is a pattern that I bought a couple of years ago. I wish it was larger and I had made another one like this one before. The pattern is easy to follow is pretty good to follow she has photo instructions. I think she is too short like me lol. I could have added more straight rows in the middles somewhere. If you look on pinterest you can find this doll and the lady who designed it,cause I can't remember exactly her name. I used different colour purples to use up some of my yarns. No wires so it will be safe for kids if you sew this doll properly.

Amigurumi Unicorn
Very popular these days for people to buy unicorn but I made one not too thrilled about it. I liked the sleeping unicorn, it is a free pattern. I am hard on myself I think it is not perfect. The feet might not be perfectly positioned and will annoy me. I have more white wool which I might make another look of a unicorn.I will have to find another free pattern. It is really good way to use some co,oured scraps of yarn for the mane and tail. I can't seem to find a toy big enough for a girl or boy to cuddle up they are always very small.
Tiny cat (amigurumi)
Hi I came across to this cute cat and I was wondering how small it was. You will never know that till you make it so I did mine. I expected it to be smaller but it is ok I guess. It measures 6 inches. I used different yarn I think it is called mohair I was given this yarn. A good way to use mohair. I found myself making toys again. I hate the sewing part only because sometimes the legs and hands don' t come attached the way you want them to. Toys are fun to make when you see them all done it is a good achievement. It is like art when you finish painting the piece and see the final result. It is always hard to part from them I think because I put so much care, love into them. I brushed it to look like this not good for kids as it has a small button. Be always aware of those little things.

Amigurumi sleeping doggy
Hi everyone, I search for things to make and I came across this dog. I love how it came I might make another one beige colour. It is this free pattern It is not very big I wish it was though it would be nice to cuddle. Not very hard to make either but lots of sewing. Easy enough pattern for people who can crochet. Good luck with it, here is mine. My youngest daughter like her toys to be made from cotton not acrylic yarn so she might not take this one.It is a lovely, safe, handmade toy for your little one. There are no wires or safety eyes which they can come apart at times. Lately, I do embroider the eyes.

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

Amigurumi Crochet New Toy
I had some cotton yarn to use so about a year ago I scribbled some designs. This was on the page but I changed the top part. I should have followed it exactly as I drew it back then. It is a toy that I was inspired to make by my grandkids. Also I did ask God to give me some talent to create something. I lack that. I would like to make a pattern one day but since I sell varieties of this design I rather not. I like to make two faces on the toy as it is more fun for kids to have something to look at. I think embroidery thread for this toy was ok. I used alot of blue in this toy on purpose. I wanted to add embellishments to this toy but it might not be safe for small children so I prefer not to. Anyway here it is

My fave Flop
This has to be one of my favourite that I made. I love how it turned out. My daughter said it should have smaller eyes which is a pity I never checked out the character before. I followed a free pattern from pinterest. She also has Bing which I shared with you too. I also like that Bing turned out exactly like the character. I am proud of how these turned out. The Lady is an awesome designer and she shared them for free very generous of her. You should give these a go if you have little kids. My grandsons sleep with many of the toys I make for them. They are suppose to take off a few when they get a new one but it is hard for them, so, on the side of their bed is full of small toys. I present to you Flop

Amigurumi Bing
I made Bing for my grandsons because they watch him on tv. Lucky for my someone posted the patterns for free. I owe my gratitude to her. My grandsons will love him they sleep with may of the toys I made for them. It is a fairly easy pattern. It doesn't take too long to make. those brown lines I thought they will take me forever. I listen to stuff while I am doing crochet. While doing this I listened to George Muller a german man who opened orphanages in Bristol without asking people for money Only praying to God. what an inspirational man. The guy who reads his narratives is so soothing to listen to. So It is kind of relaxing for me. Look him up on pinterest for the free pattern.

Amigurumi grey rabbit
I have to go to the market in two weeks. So this week I have to try and make as much as I can. It took me all day, to finish one toy, just stopped to eat and wash the dishes. and minus an hour. How can you sell it for peanuts then. Anyway, I never wanted to make these toys to sell them. I wanted to make them for my grand children.Once you start making these toys you will never stop. I always changed my hobby from time to time. I do knitting, painting, ribbons, and whatever I see that I want to try and make but this has been the longest so far. Once in a while I want to make blankets gives me a break from sewing all the pieces from all the toys I make. I think this rabbit came a little too dark for my liking but it turned out ok. There are a few patterns like this rabbit but I made the head like I like. I made it to look chrissmissy if there is such a word. As you can see it turned out very good. Here are some pictures of my rabbit.

Amigurumi mermaid
Amigurumi mermaid, how this came about is my youngest daughter's friend had a baby girl and she ordered me to make her a mermaid. I searched for a nice pattern similar to what she liked and I came up with this one. I slightly made her a larger head. My daughter doesn't want me to make her a mouth. It didn't take too long to make except for the hair part. I embroidered the eyes since it is for a baby. I like it how it turned up.The tail looks great.What I would change if I had to make another one is, I would make the top part longer so the bra fits nicer. Didn't put a rattle in it too.

Amigurumi exciting stuff
So I said that I am not very creative but I prayed to come up with something special. I think I did manage to make something handmade and very special and adorable, I am happy anyway. It is a baby toy and my youngest grandson inspired me because he likes to hold on to my fingers.I tried to make them different in some ways. I also tried to make them in bright colours. Kids like that. Since then I have opened a shop on etsy so here you can check all my things. All my things are copyright so please respect my wishes. https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/AmigurumiNanna?ref=hdr_shop_menu

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.

Amigurumi sock monkey
I would like to open an etsy store one day. I have decided to make some toys so I will see if I can see them. I want to make some toys that doesn't take me many hours to finish, other wise it is not worth the hassle. I still find satisfaction with every toy I make and it is really hard for me to part from them but I have many now. It would be great to earn some money though through doing what I love. What I have done today is a sock monkey I altered it a little as always seems to be my trait. I love the mint colour of wool and with beige works well I think. I made longer legs and stuck them on differently too. I put safety eyes and also stuck glue at the back of them for security. Here is my finished product.

Amigurumi mouse
My grandchild was looking at some cartoons on the internet and he told me that he wanted a mouse. I asked him what colour he said grey at first but then he said orange. A day passed and I asked him again and he still said orange so I proceeded in making him one. I have lots of coloured wool which I like to finish so I can buy nicer colours. As you see I ran out of wool for the tail so I did it in grey. I used safety eyes and glued them for more safety as well but still we will watch him when he plays with it. I changed the nose part it was way too long for me and the hands and legs. I like the body very much. The lady who wrote this pattern did an awesome job I also like the ears. Let's see what he does when he sees it. It gives me so much pleasure when he likes the toys I make for him.

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.

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.
