Free Pattern: Mini Eevee Amigurumi


A 5" tall little Eevee amigurumi. You can download the free PDF pattern on Ravelry or find it written below. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

This is the third version of this pattern that I've made. The first time I didn't write the pattern down, and when I tried to replicate it the second time it turned out much bigger than expected. This one looks almost exactly like the original, except I modified the neck fur a bit to make it look more fluffy. Also, I adjusted the ears so the color change isn't so jagged.


Materials:
▪  Worsted weight yarn in medium brown, dark brown, cream, black 
▪  E hook (3.50 mm) 
  Stuffing 
▪  6 mm safety eyes 
▪  Scissors 
▪  Tapestry needle

Difficulty: Medium-Easy
You should know how to work in the round, increase, decrease, change colors, and double crochet.

Charts: Game of Thrones Charts + Pillow


A 14" x 14" pillow inspired by A Game of Thrones. On one side is the Stark direwolf sigil, and on the other the Lannister lion sigil. This was made with Tunisian crochet, which is one of my absolute favorite things to do in crochet (other than amigurumi).

Here are the charts I made for this pillow, along with a few other houses' sigils as well. My long-term goal is to crochet all of them and make them into one big blanket. :)

Note: To view the full-size charts, either click on the images or right-click and save them onto your computer.

Pattern: Kyogre Amigurumi


A little 4" tall Kyogre amigurumi. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. If you have any questions feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

This little guy was inspired by a plush Kyogre that I've had for a few years. Pokemon Sapphire was my first Pokemon game and Kyogre holds a special place in my heart, so I decided to crochet one!

Pattern: Game of Thrones Sigils Amigurumi


This is one of my newest projects: a bunch of Game of Thrones amigurumi! Here we have a Stark direwolf, a Baratheon stag, a Lannister lion, and a Targaryen dragon. I also made a Tyrion Lannister amigurumi which I hope to post sometime soon.

These amigurumi are all 7" tall (except for the stag which is 7.5" including the horns). I must admit that they turned out a lot cuter than I thought they would; I can't even pick a favorite. Though I absolutely love the expression on the lion, it reminds me of Tywin Lannister in that he looks so menacing.

You can find the links to the patterns on Ravelry here:
Direwolf
Stag
Lion
Dragon

And here is a link for all four patterns.

This is one of my oldest patterns and one of my favorites. He's so cute and tiny! I had to do minor reconstruction before I took pictures of him because his face looked kinda weird, which gave me an idea to do a tutorial on how to deconstruct and fix an amigurumi. Hopefully I'll get around to that soon.

Materials:
▪  Worsted weight yarn in light blue, beige, brown, white, black 
▪  F hook (3.75 mm) 
▪  Stuffing 
▪  9 mm safety eyes 
▪  Scissors 
▪  Tapestry needle

Difficulty: Easy
You should know how to work in the round, increase, decrease, work in the front loops, and change colors.
