♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I’d like to use sewing pins to position all parts first until I’m happy. Then I will sew them on. I recommend you do so as well.

Start with sewing the body to his head. Then sew on the arms and add the belt as well, with the Grey yarn create the buckle of the belt.
To his hat, add the bell to the tip and put it on his head. Now you can also figure out where you want his ears, sew those on too.
With a bit of Black yarn, make a little mouth.
If you want to hang it, don’t forget to add a loop to the top.

I hope you enjoyed today’s pattern of this little Christmas Elf! I think it’s adorable. If you decided to make any of the blogmas amigurumi, please show me on Twitter or Instagram with #DelinleaDIY. I’d love to see what you make using my patterns.

And don’t forget that you can get all Blogmas patterns ad free in a PDF bundle in my Ko-Fi shop (English US terms and Dutch). The link you can find on the Blogmas Page here! (Etsy Might follow later).

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you tomorrow!

Danielle

♥ Blogmas 2020!

29 november 2020 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! It’s almost December, as you probably noticed. And as every year I have Christmas blogs in December. I am back this year with Blogmas! Yay! You could also call it advent, just what you like. It just means that we will have 24(!!) days of Christmas Amigurumi this year! A pattern every day until Christmas!

I hope you are ready for that. Don’t worry too much, they are all pretty small and I tried to limit the amount of sewing on these (Most of them at least, some couldn’t be avoided). So, they must be done pretty quickly.

I know December is already a very busy month. This year it feels different as well cause of all the stuff happening in the world. But I just think it’s better to keep as much normal as possible, like decorating, my blogmas, baking etc. Let’s get those Christmas vibes! We are also allowed to have some things we enjoy, let’s focus on the good!

For this year I will also make a PDF pattern with all blogmas patterns in there and post it on my Ko-Fi shop. So, you can enjoy them ad free. And yes, I will probably also make a Etsy shop just for this. I will open it officially somewhere next year probably. The patterns will be available in English (US terms) and in Dutch! Woohoo~~. I will update this blog with the link when it’s live!

I hope you are just as excited as I am, I love all the patterns I made for you this year!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you on Dec 1^st!

Love
Danielle

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start to assemble Amigurumi’s I use sewing pins first. This way I can move all parts around until I am happy. I recommend you do so as well.

Sew the hat on the body, it will go up till the collar. On top the the black part of the hat the nose will go. Last sew on his feet. And don’t forget to add some feather to his hat, to finish it off!

That was it already for this Pietje Gnome! It’s not too hard to make, but oh so cute! I hope you will enjoy this pattern. Let’s make it fun inside out home’s even when the world is cruel outside. It’s better to try to do those things we can control and make us feel a little better instead of being anxious all the time.

If you decided to make this Pietje Gnome, please, show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY. I would love to see what you made with my patterns!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love
Danielle

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start to assemble Amigurumi’s I use sewing pins first. This way I can move all parts around until I am happy. I recommend you do so as well.

First sew the 2 crosses to the Mijter on both sides and you might wanna sew the tip of the Mijter together. Then, sew on his Mijter around row 10 of the body. The cape goes directly under the Mijter. On the other side of the body you will sew on the beard, with the nose centered. Last, position his feet and sew those on.

That was it already for this Sinterklaas Gnome! It’s not too hard to make, but oh so cute! I hope you will enjoy this pattern. Let’s make it fun inside out home’s even when the world is cruel outside. It’s better to try to do those things we can control and make us feel a little better instead of being anxious all the time.

If you decided to make this Sinterklaas Gnome, please, show me on Twitter or Instagram with the #DelinleaDIY. I would love to see what you made with my patterns!

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!

Love

♥ Assembling

Whenever I start assembling Amigurumi, I always use sewing pins first. This way I can move parts around until I am happy with how it looks, then I’ll sew them on.

Start with sewing on Mushu’s belly to the body, sew all along the edge. Then you can add the tail as well, don’t forget to add the tip of the tail and the extra pointy bits for the tail. Next sew on Mushu’s legs.
After that it’s time to assemble his face. Start with his nose, I placed it just under where you started the body. Then you also know where the whiskers and eyes go. Sew these all on neatly. When you almost sewn on the nose, add a bit of stuffing in there.
Then position the horns, on top of his head, make sure you sew them on the right way. Under the horns, come the ears. Fold those in half and sew it on. Under that 2 small spikes will go on each side.
Last sew on the spikes on his back, 1 Medium, 1 Large and then 1 Medium nicely in the middle.
Don’t forget to make pupils for the eyes, I used a bit of black felt and glued it on. There are also some details in the nose, use a bit of black yarn and embroider those on.

And Mushu is done! I hope you had fun making this pattern! This one was requested by one of my followers. So, if you have request for future patterns as well, just let me know and I’ll see what I can do for you! Just contact me on Twitter or Instagram or leave a comment/contact form. If you made any of my patterns I would love to see, please show me on Socials as well with #DelinleaDIY.

Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you next week!
