Crochet Dog Amigurumi

 

I made these crochet dogs using one of my base patterns and added a few different ear shape options to switch things up. I used some mystery tweed yarn from my stash which gave them a really nice speckle of color.

They turned out super cute and small. I’ve made a few more in bright colors too and I’ll be sharing those once I get photos taken.

These are Squittles ✨ Crochet Octopus Collection

These are forever my favorite animals to crochet. They always look super cute with their big eyes! Back in the day, we had a shop full of colorful cephalopod plushies called Squittle and I still love that name. 

This was one of the first octopus designs I came up with and I always wanted to write down the pattern, but it doesn’t exactly follow standard crochet rules. I also never count my stitches and just wing it…  😉 I'm sure there's a way to make it no-sew but I don't mind all the sewing. It's still a classic.

Here are some Squittle relics!

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with different yarns and textures to see what works best. I still love making panda bear octopuses and using whatever supplies I have on hand, like felt and scrap yarn. The chunky and acrylic yarn combo was definitely an interesting experiment!

Some of these amigurumi plushies are available at Ami Moon, so be sure to check them out if you’d like to give one a home! 💕☾

Pink Unicorn with Rainbow Hair Amigurumi

I made this unicorn amigurumi using a pattern from Örgü Modelleri. I didn’t realize until after bookmarking it that it wasn’t in English, so I loosely translated it. I followed the body and horn pattern the best that I could. Some things were modified.

I used Big Twist yarn. Size E hook. 20mm Safety Eyes.

Eyelid pattern: 

use the same hook as body

Chain 8.

Skip 1, Sc in 7 chains across.

Skip 1, Dec 1, Sc in next 2 sts. Dec in last sts.

Dec twice.

Finish off and leave a tail for sewing.

Hair:

Colors: dark pink, light pink, orange, yellow, light blue and lavender.

I made about 4 pieces of each color.

Hook E

Chain 46.

Skip 1, sc across. Turn.

Sc across.

Twist each strand for the curl.

Rose:

Hook E

Chain 31.

Row 1: Skip 1 chain. Chain 2, skip next chain, sc in next chain. *Sc, chain 2, skip 1, sc in next ch* repeat across.

Row 2: 

-Chain 1. *3 hdc, ch 1, sl st* in ch-2 space.

-Sl st in next ch-2 space. *ch 1, 3 hdc, ch 1, sl st* into the space/hole.

-Sl st in next ch-2 space. *sl st, ch 1. 3 hdc, ch 1, sl st* repeat across until last 2 ch-2 spaces/holes.

The last 2 spaces you want to repeat the above but increase the 3hdc to 4hdc then 5hdc for the last.

Note: I made a matching rose headband by making 3 extra roses and attaching it to a chain of about 80.

Wings (make 4 pieces):

    Chain 16

1. Starting from 2nd chain from hook, sc in each ch across.

2.Ch 1 and turn, sc in next 14 sts. Chain 3 and turn.

3. Start in the 4th st from hook, sc in next 10 sts then decrease 1.

4. Ch 1 and turn, sc in next 9 sts. Chain 3 and turn.

5. Start in the 4th st from hook, sc in next 7 sts then decrease 1.

Turn the piece to crochet into the corner and along the side (edge where chains are)

6. Decrease twice, sc in the side corner in next 2sts. Sc across the side (where the chains are)

Leave a long tail for sewing 2 pieces together. Whip stitch edges together.
