Making Captain America and Mandalorian amigurumis for my nephews for Christmas

Here are the purchase links:

The Mandalorian

Captain America

I also want to eventually make the Baby Yoda from the free pattern at Ravelry. You can also get the Mandalorian as a free pattern on her website here but I didn't want to mess up the order of the screenshots when I was making the printed pattern so I just bought the pdf and consider it a donation for all the time and effort Ollie put into making the complex Mandalorian outfit. Wish me luck, I'm off to buy the yarn now...

Thanks! I'm excited to make them. I just got the yarn and eyes for them. Although the Mandalorian doesn't require eyes. I have to admit, KnitPicks Shine Sport Yarn is expensive for how little yarn you get. But it seems high quality.

And, slippery. I made a vest with it. Has held up to wash and dry nicely.

Oh really? Is it hard to work with?

[NCcountrygal]

Not hard to work with but sometimes like in clothing keeping joined sections from poking out can be a nuisance. 

[magicmau5]

Oh I see. Thanks for the advice.

Here's the finished Mandalorian doll.

KnitPicks Shine Sport Yarn ?. I never seen that yarn. Where do you buy that yarn?

I always use the cheapest yarn for my Amigurumi. That is: RHSS yarn.  It is very strong, washes very well and comes in many different colors to choose from. That is probably what I like the most when it comes to RHSS yarn so many different colors....:).

Thanks

Knitpicks is an online yarn seller, plus they sell books, hooks, needles etc. and have some free patterns.

I had finished Captain America before Christmas but forgot to take a picture before I boxed it up to send to my nephew. Here is the finished photos with my nephew.
