More from Amigurumi!

This is the final project from the book. She was called Strawbeary. I changed her up a bit. I didn't crochet her clothes to her permanently. But I did crochet her wearing a bra and undies. She had mary jane shoes but I gave her the sandals from another project in the book. Her skirt is made from scrap fabric and a kilt pin and her shirt is a miniature version of one I made for my daughters. I will be posting the pics of those in a little bit. Super simple pattern for all sizes as well.

Amigurumi! Super Happy Cute Crochet

by Elisabeth A. Doherty. I purchased this book the minute it came out and I fell in love with it! She had so many amazing things to make in it. We adored this pig and it was destined to be my first project. If you are looking for a good crochet book this is it! Great pics and patterns, even some helpful tips for those just starting out in amigurumi. My 10 year old (9 at the time) learned alot from the stitches and techniques section. I will be posting some other items I made from this book later. Overall this is one of our favorite books.

whatever...

It seems that no matter what my intentions are I have trouble dealing with this blogging thing. I have been busy creating things and not taking pictures or posting anything so I will try again. This mouse is made using essentially the same pattern as my frog just gave him bigger ears. LOL Hope you enjoy him...

Pattern for Ebeneizer

I *think* this is the last of the patterns for the amigurumi I have already put up. I do have quite a few more sitting here waiting for their stories and for me to take their pics.

Chuck

Chuck is a loose cannon cop on the edge. His motto is “Trust no one and shoot anything that moves”. He moved here from the big city. He wanted the quiet life but surprisingly crime is on the rise here in Hyperbolia. He is taking anger management classes at the local learning center. His best friends are a stress ball and his pack of Marlboros.

Betty

Betty owns the Hyperbolia Pharmacy. She spends her days filling prescriptions and dreaming of Chuck. She made a nice living at her job until the arrival of Quackers. Now she has moved out of her condo and into one of the biggest houses in town. Every man in Hyperbolia wants to date her but she only has eyes for Chuck. Ironically Chcuck doesn’t even know she exists.

Bobo and Jim

Bobo was a circus trained monkey before his tragic toxic waste accident. This horrible incident turned him a lovely shade of turquoise. He spends his life trying to track down his circus master, Jim, who mysteriously disappeared after the accident.

Jim managed the Big Top Circus. He was quite prosperous until a tragic accident befell his star monkey. Jim used the insurance money to move to a deserted island with the bearded lady and a few trapeze artists.

Secret Keepers Pattern

These are super simple and quick guys to make. Please let me know if the pattern isn't easy to read. I have never tried to put a pattern out for others to follow so I am just giving you my notes. All of my projects are worked the usual way with increases and decreases. And don't join the rounds as you go just work in a spiral. The one secret keeper is slightly larger because I used a different size hook and bigger yarn. All I added to them was the eyeballs (the small ones have doll eyes and the bigger one has two different sized buttons.) but Ithink they would look cute with big ears.

R1: sc 6 into a circle (6). R2: INC (12). R3: Sc 1, INC (18). R4: Sc 2, INC (24). R5: Sc 3, INC (30). R6: Sc 4, INC. (36). R7: Sc 4, DEC. (30). R8: Sc 3, DEC (24). R9: Sc 2, DEC (18). R10: Sc 1, DEC (12). R11: DEC (6).

Quug and Schnoober

Quug is a creature sent from the fifth dimension to destroy all humans. But he had a change of heart when he discovered casinos, air mattresses and sneakers. Any place that could invent stuff like this can’t be all bad. Quug is looking for a roommate and hopes to settle down here on Earth.

Schnoober is Quug’s sister. She is a creature from the fifth dimension. She communicates with her brother using telepathy. Her stringy hair is actually a high tech tuning device. Schnoober just wants her brother to come home and play hopscotch with her.
