Amigurumi Baby Mobile

August 112010

amigurumi-mobileI came across this free amigurumi pattern while surfing and thought it was just adorable and had to share it with you. I wish I had a baby to make it for! I may just make it for the fun of it anyway and hang it in my garden.

Hhhmmmm, I wonder what it would be like to make it out of raffia or twine to make it more outdoor friendly? I think I will give it a try!

You can get the free pattern here. http://www.michaels.com/art/online/projectsheet?pid=e6735&categoryid=29

3 Knitted Amigurumi Pocket Creatures Patterns

August 112010

pocketcreaturesThese little critters are really cute. Children (young and old) love these adorable little knitted creatures and they are very easy to make. It is difficult sometimes to find nice knitted amigurumis since most of them tend to be done in crochet. Here are patterns for the three little beauties.

They are nice and tiny. Perfect for little ones or for anyone who wants to take a bit of fun in their pockets.

Remember if you are making any critters for babies or toddlers to be sure to just embroider the eyes instead of using buttons or googly eyes that may fall off and be swallowed.

You can get these free patterns at http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter05/PATTpocketcreatures.html

Posted in amigurumi | 1 Comment »

i really want to learn.can you post a link of a website or video showing me how to do it?Thanks.PLEASE ANSWERR.I LOVE THOSE LITTLE THINGYS.If you don’t know a link,can you tell me how and what you need then?

If you’re into Japanese crafts, you’ve probably at least seen photos of Japanese amigurumi books (if you haven’t, check these out). They’re beautiful, and the dolls are adorable. Amigurumi means "knitted or crocheted doll" in Japanese. Here’s everything you wanted to know about amigurumi but couldn’t find out because you don’t read Japanese:

* Amigurumi, Deconstructed
Tips and tricks about how to make some fab dolls
* Amigurumi Double Ring
A photo tutorial on how to start working in the round without making a hole (similar to the Magic Adjustable Ring, but different)
* Assembling Amigurumi
A photo tutorial on attaching the head and body of amigurumi dolls.
* Amigurumi Dude Pattern
Make your own amigurumi dude.
* Gallery of Amigurumi Dudes
Crochet me designers went nuts making their own dudes, all from the same pattern. Want to share photos of your own Amigurumi Dudes? Join the Flickr group.
