Miro the Ant (free pattern)

Image
This ant was the first amigurumi pattern I ever wrote, around 3 or 4 years ago. It is made of simple spheres sewn together to resemble an ant's body. Simple, but effective, if I may say so myself. Whether anyone is interested in crocheting ants is a completely different matter :-) The yarn used was some acrylic DK knitting yarn with a 3.00mm hook in dark brown for the body. The eyes and anteanne are made from SMC Catania cotton in white and black with a 2.5mm hook.   Head and body (make two):   With brown yarn, start a magic ring R1. 6sc in ring (6) R2. 2sc in every sc (12) R3. 2sc in every 2nd sc (18) R4. 2sc in every 3rd sc (24) R5. 2sc in every 4th sc (30) R6. 2sc in every 5th sc (36) 7.-11. 36sc (36) R12. sc2tog every 5th and 6th sc (30) R13. sc2tog every 4th and 5th sc (24) R14. sc2tog every 3rd and 4th sc (18) R15. sc2tog every 2nd and 3rd sc (12) R16. sc2tog every 1st and 2nd sc (6)   End with a slip stitch in the 1st sc and fasten off.

Domo (free pattern)

-

This large amigurumi of Domo (the official mascot of Japan's NHK network) is the second pattern I ever attempted to design. He's basically a long cube with legs, so simple enough :-) I'm still debating whether I should give him a small crocheted guitar to play with.  Domo is made of SMC Catania cotton yarn by Schachenmayer (2.5 mm. hook) in the 157 Marone colour. His eyes are 18mm safety eyes and his mouth is made of felt scraps. He's roughly 10 inches tall, so you can scale him up or down by choosing a different type of yarn. Because Domo is so cartoony, I would suggest something smooth like mercerised cotton for a non-fuzzy effect.   Body: In brown, chain 46.   Row 1: sc in every ch (45) Row 2-12: sc in every stitch, ch 1 and turn (45)   From this point on, start crocheting in rounds.   Round 13: sc in every stitch of row 12, sc 3 in the corner, sc 11 in the short sides of the first 12 rows, sc 3 in the corner, sc in every ch, sc 3 in the corner, sc 11 in ...

Koffing (free pattern)

-
Image
Yet another Pokémon from the classic series that is easily turned into a crocheted form is Koffing, the purple sphere that can excrete poison fumes and evolve into Weezing. The only real challenge here was to come up with believable tubes, as Koffing's body can be made using a standard pattern for a sphere.  The tubes are a little big and I think there ought to have been more, but it's an amigurumi and it's the cuteness that matters. Again, my laziness and fear of mucking things up by embroidering badly have meant that all the other details are glued on felt.  Koffing was made from my staple cotton amigurumu yarn SMC Catania in dark purple (113) with felt details in white, black, red and light brown. To make sure that the stitchtes are tight and don't show any fiberfill stuffing, I've used a 2.00mm hook.   Body: In purple, start a magic ring. R1: sc 6 in the ring (6) R2: 2sc in every stitch (12) R3: 2sc in every 2nd stitch (18) R4: 2sc in every 3rd stitch (24) R5: ...
