Little Crochet Delights

I taught myself how to crochet using Youtube videos about a year ago and I have found that I am happiest crocheting amigurumi (little animals). The word is Japanese and means small creature or anthropomorphic object.
The first is this robot that I made for my cousins son (his name is Tim). I got to try crochet spirals! I love em!

The next is a little bunny pattern I found online

These are my favourite! For some reason I always have white wool. But its also the nasty acrylic stuff. To make this fluffy look I took a stiff hairbrush that had lost the ends of its bristles and attacked the monkey. I think it is much better this way!

Their faces are felt and they are super soft!

I sent them as a set to my parents in law. I think they should always stay together, they'd be sad apart!

Hope these are a source of inspiration for your projects :)

Single Sock Bunny

I have been so overwhelmed by all the sweet messages and encouragement since the tutorial for a Single Sock Dog was featured on One Pretty Thing. Thank you to everyone.
Because of all the requests I'm working on a tutorial for the Single Sock Dino, but before this I made this little fellow over the weekend.

I made a very soft yarn pompom for his tail (I think its called teddy bear yarn and its so ridiculously soft it may be sinful :) ) and used pink flowery corduroy for the underside of his feet and ears. Originally he had a mouth but I decided I preferred this better since I wanted the pearl button nose to be the focus.
The flower is courtesy of the last gasps of my garden before winter comes to our corner of England and I forget what sun, flowers (and bunnies!) look like!
