Welcome

Welcome to my little world of crocheting :)

I've been crocheting amigurumi since nov. 2010 and I looooves it :)

I started making my own patterns after a while and found out that it's really not too hard :)

I'll post my own patterns here, and all the crochetprojects I have going on :)

(I usually work on a gazillion things at a time:p)



All my patterns are also available in Norwegian, and I'll try to post these versions as soon as possible!

Ragamuffin Amigurumi

Ragamuffin
Ragamuffin halfway done

Notes:
This pattern is done in continous rounds.
You can choose the yarn & hook you prefer, just make sure the gauge is tight enough so the filling won't pop out.
I prefer using some form of safety eyes, but you can also use felt or embroider on both eyes and nose (I did that on the first one I made).
Just remember to make the features in proportions to the head.
