Bonjour,

I don’t like increasing, working in a spiral, counting, using stitch markers, stuffing, embroidering, using a small hook and worsted weight yarn, or sewing crochet together.  So how did I end up with so many amigurumis?

This is a small sampling of some of the amigurumi I have crocheted, featuring mostly dolls.

The Cogaroo’s crocheted version of herself (although I don’t actually look like her!)  You might recognize her from a certain blog’s header.

This is Marigold.  Her head is actually able to stay upright without that head of curls!
Both dolls were made from the same pattern:

Then, some smaller dolls from Ana Paula Rimoli’s book ‘Amigurumi Two’.  

Image

This is Merida, from the Disney/Pixar movie ‘Brave’.  I like making dolls based off of books or movies.

Image

And this is Katniss, from the book ‘The Hunger Games’ by Suzanne Collins.  (She’s posing with the Katniss Collector Barbie’s weapons.  {Yes, I’m obsessed with that book.})

A smaller doll, but with super long hair, from the Teacup Spirit doll pattern at http://byhookbyhand.blogspot.com/

(You’ll have to scroll down, the pattern is in the left sidebar.)

I was planning to make this post with only pictures of dolls, but another amigurumi was looking left out, so I decided to add a picture of her:Image

The Love Bug!  Made from a pattern on Ravelry:

I made the body entirely in one piece, and did 8 circles.  

Instead of stuffing, I use yarn scraps to stuff amigurumi.  You know, the little ones that are way too tiny to crochet anything with.  I use every single bit of a skein of yarn!  

Well, good job if you made it through this monologuing!  I hope that you have a good day.  😀

Om Nom Invasion

on Leave a Comment on Om Nom Invasion

What’s this?

Image

It’s a … GIANT CROCHETED OM NOM!  

Image

Measuring approximately 14 inches tall (excluding antenna), this is the largest stuffed animal I’ve crocheted.  The body is modified from a pattern in a crochet magazine, but I made the limbs and facial features. 

Before we continue, I think I’d better make sure you all know what an Om Nom is, if you don’t already.  I did not come up with this cuteness.  Zepto Lab did! Om Nom is the candy-loving monster in the popular app ‘Cut the Rope’.  Completely worth the 99¢.

Now, what could this be?

Image

It’s an Om Nom attack!  They might be small, but they are mighty.

Image

Just look at those sharp teeth dangerous gums!  

Image

And now, creeping quietly into the room, behold the Baby Nom!  

This is the first Om Nom that I crocheted, before I learned how to use the Magic Ring, and before I thought to write down patterns.  When I decided I wanted to make another mini Om Nom, I had a difficult time attempting to replicate the pattern!  I don’t make that mistake anymore.  I did manage to get a pattern done, although it’s not quite the same as the Om Nom above.  Unfortunately the aforementioned Om Nom is currently in hiding, so I can’t add a picture of it right now.

I will be sharing the patterns for the two smaller Om Noms sometime.  The only stitch used is single crochet.  The smaller one is easier, but the Chomper Nom (as I affectionately call it) is not super hard either.

The Om Noms and I hope you have a good day!
