Little Amigurumi Teddy Bears - New Crochet PDF Pattern

New Amigurumi Teddy Bear Pattern

My latest pattern: Little Teddy Bear is now available.

Can´t help it, I just love teddy bears :)
This time I used various colours and made many of them. I used three different yarns. You´ll see the results below.
I used 2mm crochet hook (once even 1,5 mm crochet hook) and Bio-Baumwolle yarn, Rosarios Boolero 4 and Katia Galaxy yarn.
Measures: with 2mm crochet hook approx. 15cm /5.9 inc
Safety eyes: 6mm brown ones
Stuffing: for some I used wool and for some fiberfill.

I like simple teddy bears. Still, a little coloured nose and some ribbon make them just perfect. Bio-cotton yarn. Wool for stuffing.

Tiny Amigurumi Bear Pattern

Making crochet teddy bears

Making tiny teddy bears. First photo of this project. There will be many teddy bears with different colours and of course pattern as well. Measures: approx.16 cm/6.3 inches. I´m using Bio-Baumwolle yarn, little safety eyes (6mm) and sheep wool for stuffing. Hope to present all my new teddy bears in some weeks:)
Thank you for visiting.
Je prépare les nounours utilisant les couleurs différentes et je fais aussi le patron. Vous voyez le premier photo de ce project. J´utilise le fil de Bio-Baumwolle pour faire ces nounours et de la laine de mouton pour le rembourrage. J´éspère les présenter dans quelques semaines.
Merci pour votre visite!

New PATTERN: 2 in 1 Mio the Elephant and Mia the Elephant

New Amigurumi toy design : Elephants 

I´m happy to present a new pattern. 
I made Mio the Elephant Pattern as the main pattern witch comes with 49 photos and 32 pages and Mia the Elephant (additional pattern) with 8 photos and 9 pages. 
Measures: with 2mm crochet hook: approx. 25 cm/9,8 inches  

With these patterns you may make several versions: change colours, make different eyes, add accessories, change pattern (trunk size) etc. - plenty of reasons to make one.

These patterns are avalable in my Etsy shop: TinyAmigurumi 

Suggested yarns: Boolero Rosarios 4, Katia Bamboo and Bio-Baumwolle. These are yarns I have used and they are really good. In Amigurumi making I always use 1-2 size smaller hook than indicated on the label. For example: Katia Bamboo (3,5/3.75mm crochet hook), I used 2mm crochet hook.
I used safety eyes: 16 and 16mm, painted by myself. 



I have to say if I´m looking my son, who is 4 years old, his special toys are: one cuddly bunny (so simple but he adores this one) and now the blue elephant. And my daughter who is almost 9 likes everything I do :)- She makes me lists and lists of toys I should make for her :)

Baby-safe toy


I also made one elephant to be so called baby-safe, I didn´t use safety eyes but tried something else. I also used Bio-Baumwolle yarn. I have always used safety eyes and I paint them as well to have unique effect, but if you make a toy for a little baby then again one version how to make eyes - you´ll crochet them and sew them on.

Thank you for visiting!

Amigurumi Elephant: a little girl

I made one more elephant to my daugher and to be a friend to Mio the Elephant.


As I made an elephant to my son, I had to make an elephant to my daugher as well. I changed quite everything. Made a trunk a bit shorter, legs and arms thinner, made a skirt as well. I used 18mm safety eyes, painted by myself with glitter effect. I used Katia Bamboo yarn and 2mm crochet hook.

I like the little skirt, even some pearls can be added. Pattern for Mio the Elephant is ready, will add this pattern as well (something extra).
