Pattern: Yoshi Amigurumi

A 7" tall amigurumi of Yoshi. The pattern is available on Ravelry or in my Etsy shop. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

Gotta admit, I'm pretty pleased with how this one came out. There were times before everything was sewn together that it looked like it was going to be a disaster, but luckily everything turned out alright. That new game, Yoshi's Woolly World, looks so cute and crafty. Too bad I don't have a Wii U. I did play Kirby's Epic Yarn though and that was absolutely adorable.

I tried something new with this piece, and ended up finding a way to incorporate felt into amigurumi without wanting to rip my hair out in frustration, needle felting! Last Christmas I got a cute little kit for needle felting a hedgehog, and I wondered if I could just use the felting needle from the kit to attach felt onto the amigurumi. Works pretty well, plus you get to stab the crap out of the felt, which is kinda therapeutic. :)

Pattern: Unicorn and Pegasus Amigurumi

Two 7" tall amigurumi of both a Unicorn and a Pegasus. The pattern is available on Ravelry and in my Etsy shop. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

So here's something that I've been working on for quite a while. Originally I just wanted to make an amigurumi of a horse, but I thought that wasn't exciting enough, so I turned it into a unicorn. The first unicorn I made was green colored like the Pegasus in the picture, and then I thought that unicorns are really more of a girl thing, so I made another one that was pink. After finishing that I decided that I should also make a Pegasus but with green/ blue coloring to compliment the girly coloring. BUT both the unicorn and the Pegasus amigurumi had big holes in them because for some reason I was crocheting loosely when I made them, so I had to make both of them all over again. Yaaaaay. =/

After finally getting done with these amigurumi, I thought they were so cute that I made a couple more patterns with a similar design which should be coming soon, along with more free patterns (sorry for the lack of Free Pattern Fridays, been kinda busy lately).

Free Pattern Friday: Pokemon Substitute Doll Amigurumi

This week's Free Pattern Friday is a 6" tall amigurumi of the substitute doll from the Pokemon games. The pattern is available on Ravelry or you can find it written below. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

This is another one of my really old patterns. It's definitely one of the ones that I would like to remake eventually as it has potential, but it's way too fat and the face could use some work. I have learned a lot since making this and I know of a few ways to make this thing look more proportional. But until then, enjoy this chubby little guy and have a good weekend! Can't wait for Game of Thrones on Sunday. :)

Materials:

▪  Worsted weight yarn in green, white, black

▪  F hook (3.75 mm)

▪  Stuffing

Free Pattern Friday: Munchlax Amigurumi

This week's Free Pattern Friday pattern is a 6" tall amigurumi of Munchlax from Pokemon. The pattern is available on Ravelry or you can find it written below. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

This was not actually a pattern that I planned on doing, but someone on Etsy wanted me to make them one so I did. It never occurred to me to make him before, which is odd because I already have a Snorlax amigurumi. I guess I just forgot this guy existed, which is a shame because he's pretty cute. He reminds me a bit of Totoro and now I kind of want to make a Totoro pattern, but there's like 5 billion Totoro patterns on the internet and I don't really have anything new to offer.

Also, I just realized when I linked to the Snorlax pattern that the Snorlax pictures are not really the right color. I used the exact same yarn on Munchlax as I did Snorlax and for some reason they look vastly different. I need to remember to retake those pictures. Anyway, TGIF and happy crocheting!

▪  Worsted weight yarn in dark blue, cream,

Free Pattern Friday: Sitting Alligator Amigurumi

A 6" tall amigurumi of a sitting alligator. The pattern is available on Ravelry or you can find it written below. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at icrochetthings@gmail.com.

This is a super old pattern, probably around 3 years old. I remember thinking it was one of my first original patterns that wasn't entirely awful. Looking at it today, it could definitely use a lot of work.

When I picked this one for Free Pattern Friday, I felt obligated to do a few repairs to it. The body was a bit narrow at the top, making the head flimsy, so I fixed that. Also for some reason when I made this pattern I decided not to stuff the arms, so if you plan on making this I would try stuffing them to see if it looks better. Another change I might make is getting rid of the eyelids to make it look a bit cuter.

This is one of the patterns that I may update it the future. I think it has the potential to be cute if a couple adjustments were made. Plus I kind of want to see what it would look like in some different colors, maybe blue or pink. Anyway, TGIF and happy crocheting!

Materials:

▪  Worsted weight yarn in light green, medium green, dark green, black

▪  Stuffing
▪  9 mm safety eyes
▪  F hook (3.75 mm)
▪  Scissors
▪  Tapestry needle

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