New crocheted amigurumiTeddy Bears

One new teddy bear, brown one. This amigurumi crochet teddy bear is a bit different, but I used this Amigurumi Teddy Bear Pattern. I only made some supplementary rows on head (just to get it bigger) and as to nose, I made it triangul this time. Also, I crocheted a special triangual on teddy´s buttom and used some fabric on ears and on legs. Scarf is knitted. Very simple one. I used 8mm golden safety eyes and fiberfill for stuffing. So he is soft, can be cuddled and washed as well, if needed.

Why do I like this pattern, because I can make with little changes something different from previous one. I can make longer legs, taller body, you name it. 

I used Katia Bamboo yarn for the brown bear and Schachenmayr Cotton Linen (78% Coton, 22% Linen) for orange bear (this bear is on my previous post as well, but you don´t see him so well:)) Stuffed with wool.

You´ll see the curves:)

I wanted to use some leather, but this time I tried some fabric. I have done so tiny toys, that I haven´t had a chance to use fabric. This bear, as all my bears is one of a kind.

And one more teddy. Actually this is a lilac teddy, but photos show him like blue. Here you can see the head without a scarf, you see how the head and the body part is joined together.
Materials used: Schachenmayr Cotton Linen yarn, 2mm crochet hook, wool for stuffing, 6mm safety eyes, pattern the same (no changes made in the pattern): amigurumi crochet teddy

These teddies, hopefully will live a long and happy life. They are true friends.

Amigurumi Puppy PATTERN - Crochet Dog Pdf Tutorial - now available

Great news: Cute Amigurumi Puppy Pattern is now available. Welcome!

You can use different yarns and hooks. I used Katia Bamboo

for brown version and Madame Tricote Germina 100% bamboo yarn.

I like these yarns a lot.

I used 2mm crochet hook

6mm safety eyes

fiberfill for filling

Brown version!

Pink version!

I always try to use simple eyes and noses when making new designs, because this gives the natural look to the toy and people can add different eyes to make their own puppy perefect. I like simple designs, also because you can add a little felted heart or some fabric, some ribbon and so on...

Testers, a special thanks to Anna and to Nancy! You can look their projects in here: amigurumi projects.

Amigurumi crochet Angry Birds

Amigurumi Crochet Angry birds:

These first characters of Angry Birds are made for my daughter as a birthday gift! I didn´t want to buy them at the the supermarket and decided to make my own birds:)

About this amigurumi pattern:

Angry birds are very well known characters and there are plenty of amigurumi patterns for free and I thought this time I´m not going to make my own pattern (even though,maybe smaller version as well) but will try to make one with somebody´s else pattern for a change:)

I found one pattern from Adorable Amigurumi. She uses 4,5 crochet hook, but I used 2mm crochet hook.

At firt, as always, I have a feeling that nothing comes out:) and also I didn´t know much about these characters, that´s why my first yellow bird is orange:)

I made some little changes: nose, I made some extra stitches and ears: they are also a bit different.

As to yellow bird, I made feathers in one piece!

Hope You like them too!

Thank you for visiting!

Teddy Bear is now 110 years old!

Congratulations!

Amigurumi Teddy Bear pdf Pattern is ready

I´m happy to present You my newest amigurumi pattern: Amigurumi Crochet Teddy Bear Pattern
It all began with this post: Making teddy bears
I have been making amigurumi toys and patterns for three years now. I wanted to make one amigurumi cuddle teddy as well. So I designed this teddy bear. I made it very simple and classical. I´m very pleased with it, I like the hands the most.

 

A bit of fun as well. Bear vs. Bear

You can add a little scarf to your bear to make it perfect.

You can also make just a nose with a different colour and it gives totally different result.  

Amigurumi Teddy Bear pattern comes with 39 photos and with descriptions to help You to make the best of your project. Teddy bear´s legs and body is made in a single piece. Crocheting teddy bear´s head is fun, because I like this moment when teddy´s head is taking it´s shape. 

I used 2mm crochet hook, but this pattern is tested with 3mm crochet hook by Leah.

My teddy bear is approx. 19 cm in high.

I can suggest some yarns to use: Schachemayr Linen, Boolero by Rosarios and Bamboo by Katia.

You can use fiberfill (soft version) or wool for stuffing. 

Teddy´s cuddle

I believe that teddy bear is a lifetime friend.Sometimes You can just cuddle your teddy bear:)

In my next blog posts I hope to show you all my teddies, there are several ones with different colours: orange, green, lilah and so on, something to wait for:)

Je vous présente mon dernière patron: Nounours au crochet.

Tout a commencé avec ce post: faisant un nounours.

J'avais fait des jouets et des modèles amigurumi depuis trois ans. J´ai decidée de faire un nounors au crochet. J´ai realisé le tuto (maintenat en anglais) de nounours au crochet. Je l'ai fait très simple et je suis très heureuse, j´aime bien les mains de nounours. Ce patron amigurumi est realisé avec 39 photos accompagnées de descriptions pour vous aider à tirer le meilleur de votre projet.  

J'ai utilisé le crochet de 2mm, mais ce tuto est testé avec le crochet 3 mm par Leah. 

Environ 19 cm de haut.

Je peux suggérer quelques fils à utiliser: Linen Schachemayr, Boolero par Rosarios et Bamboo par Katia.Vous pouvez utiliser la bourre (version soft) ou de la laine pour le rembourrage.Vous pouvez ajouter un petite écharpe à votre ours pour le rendre parfait. Vous pouvez également faire juste un nez avec une couleur différente et il donne tout à coup un résultat différent.

Je crois que Nounours est un ami pour la vie. 

Dans mes prochains posts, j´espère pour vous montrer tous mes nounours, il y en a plusieurs de différentes couleurs: orange, vert, lilah - quelque chose à attendre :)

Amigurumi snail pattern

I´m going to tell you a little about my amigrumi snail pattern.

I  think my first version was (on my Estonian blog): amigurumi tiny snails and I have other posts: amigurumi tiny snails and here: amigurumi snails.

Now I show you my last two ones, I took my amigurumi snail pattern and made two colourful versions. I just couldn´t resist :)

hook: 1,5mm (pattern: 2mm hook) for body

hook: 1,25 for antennae

stuffing: wool

yarn: Hanna Cable, GB. Wolle

eyes: 6mm black safety eyes

size: 7cm/2,8 inches

About my snail pattern 

It was my first pattern I have created for my Etsy Shop: TinyAmigurumi. I have made many versions (bigger, smaller, but the same design) for this pattern. For now I use only my very first original version. I like this one the most. And you can change the size as well.

When I started to make my first snail I thought maybe I will make it in one piece, how to do that? Personally, I like simple designs. But it´s not always easy to create something simple:) And then I came up with the idea to make the snail body and head in one piece. I like this amigurumi snail pattern, because it´s easy, beginner level and you don´t need so much time to make it. Amigurumi snail is in one coiled-up piece plus anteannae (2). I used 2 mm hook and GB Wolle Hanna Cable yarn to have this really tiny amigurumi snail. But this pattern is also great, because it´s adaptable for bigger crochet hook sizes as well. For example, when tested, even 3,5 crochet hook was used.

And what is great, you can change colours wherever you want and when you want to have pretty different results. Why do I like handmade toys? I like them because every toy has his own look, even I use the same pattern, even eyes are placed in the same place and so on...handmade toy somehow gets his own life...it´s great...you don´t see it...but you can feel it.

Why do I like crocheted snails? 

I think there are different reasons. They can be lovely decorations in your home on palm trees. Little kids find them adorable and they are not afraid of them. These little snails are excellent as a little gift for a friend etc. So, I find plenty of reasons to make one.

Great news: 

My snail patten is now available on the biggest amigurumi patters site: http://www.amigurumipatterns.net 

You will also find my amiguurmi crocodile pattern 

and one pattern for free: free amigurumi snake pattern

If you want to buy my pattern you can also make the payment directly via paypal.  Email me: Laura.Sillar@gmail.com

Enjoy!

With great emotions!
