I Finally get to show my finished amigurumi! These have been done for a couple of days now but Friday just wouldn't come soon enough. All of these are designs by Stacey Trock (Freshstitches). The two blue birds and the brown bear are from a class I am taking on Crafsty.com if you want to know more I talked about it in the post here. The elephant is a pattern from her book Crocheted Softies and the whale was a free pattern on the martingale website. My WIP Wednesday post from last week was about them and you can find that by clicking here. I got the safety eyes last Friday and it took me the whole weekend to finish them but it was totally worth it they are just too cute!
The whale was the very first to be finished even though it was the last one to be crocheted. He was easy to finish because the only things I had to sew on were thee fins. I thinking about making an orca using this basic pattern but you will have to wait and see if I actually do it.
The brown bear was the first amigurumi in which I had a lot more sewing to do. I think he turned out pretty good the only thing is that since it was the first time I had to sew the head onto the body its not exactly looking straight but he is still cute so it doesn't really matter. I'm thinking about making some friends for him maybe a black bear and a polar bear.
Peanut the elephant is my favorite of all so far. I just can't believe how cute he is. He has a lot more going so it took more time to finish but he was worth it! I did a better job at sewing his head to the body, this one is actually looking straight!
WIP Wednesday Update
I didn't get a chance to work on the i-cords to finish up the baby bib yet and the owl is almost done. I finished crocheting all the parts of the body all that left is to finish sewing so it should be ready for next weeks FO Friday.

ReplyDeleteThe elephant is my favourite! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwwwww those are so cute!!!! Ahh I don't know how you have the patience for all of that finishing work! I love the FO of amigurumi but I have to say finishing is my least favorite part. But yours look so great its making me want to create some!
ReplyDeleteCrocheting through the back loop makes the sewing so much easier and faster!
DeleteThose are totally adorable. I think the elephant is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Its my favorite too!
DeleteWow, they are all amazing! I especially like the whale, and the thought that it has the least finishing doesn't hurt either :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI've done this Craftsy course. I just sent the bird to my niece and now the whole family is clamouring for one. I think I should just stop sending toys to them as they are always demanding what the last child got! I want to do different things. I hadn't seen the elephant. It is fabulous, I might have to have a look for it.
ReplyDeleteThey are all too cute! Great job!
ReplyDeleteAll of those are so cute!! I love them all :) I wish I had the patience for small cute things.
ReplyDeleteThough where do you get the little eyes from, I've tried looking for those before.
Thank you! I bought the eyes from 6060.etsy.com
DeleteLove the whale and the picture of the birds! Nice job!

DeleteThese are so cute! I might have to buy that book to make the elephant! I like the picture of the birds too.

ReplyDeleteI always thought amigurumi was knitting! (Is it done with both?) I can crochet but I'm not sure that I'm up to this. Yours look so perfect! Very cute.
