Amigurumi-Along (stuffed toys)

[kusine]

I've been having a lot of fun making amigurumi (stuffed toys), I thought others might, too! I've decided to start an amigurumi-along so maybe I can find some other like-minded hookers who want an excuse to make the little cuties.

 

(and it will fulfill one of my 101 things in 1001 days )

I just emailed you

Does Amigurumi have to be a specific style or size? Is it like manga or anime? I like making toys but am ignorant about this type.

[kusine]

I'm not terribly educated about it, either, but I've seen everything from bears to dragons to bunnies to cars to cupcakes to dollies to made-up creatures!

 

I just think stuffed toys are cute and fun to make.

I might join this one later, I haven't made a stuffed toy in a long time.

Thanks Jessica I'm so happy to be in this Crochet along I added the button to my blog

I actually just received one of the books I ordered not too long ago... it's volume 2 in one of the collections. I didn't order from this seller, but you can see pictures of the book here on ebay.

 

I will probably pick a pattern (or two or ten!) out and join this CAL!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Thanks it was just one of those let me start crocheting and see what I come up with. I didn't write anything down so he is a one of a kind. I may see what I come up with though because I really like him .

[xantha]

[Oslofia]

Its fun to just crochet 'away' and see what you end up with. And I must say that Merboy looks great

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

this looks really great and im really interested in doing something like this, but my problem is i need to work from a pattern untill i can get my confidence up

oh and i loveeee merboy

[HollyM]

My pattern books came

I only flipped through them quickly but all the pics are adorable. I can tell I'm going to need to spend some quiet time to really work my way through a pattern though, the diagrams are kind of scary

[HollyM]

Me again!

Pixi, that Roxycraft site has an Amigurumi bunny pattern on it!

I think I'm going to try him because I've never done a critter before. I think it will be easier for me to figure out the Japanese patterns if I do one from an English pattern first:yay

[crafty_suzi]
