Creature

Hey Lovelies! It’s almost Halloween, and I had many ideas, started some ages ago and didn’t finish it yet. And of course I lost the sketch of how it needed to look like. After a lot of searching I finally found the sketch back and managed to finish the amigurumi in no time! This little creature came out of it, and I actually like it, simple but cute. Today is a free pattern for you to enjoy.

(hmm how to type this while my cats want attention?! Haha I keep needing to correct words/sentences since they keep walking over my keyboard. Life with 2 kittens isn’t always easy, but they are adorable and so sweet, they just don’t always listen).

Assembling

Whenever I start to assemble an Amigurumi, I use sewing pins first, to position all parts. This way I can move the parts around until I am happy with how it looks. I recommend you do so as well.
Use the pictures as reference, to see where all parts go.

From felt, cut out a cross of black felt and a small tongue for pink felt. Glue the cross on where the other eye should be. Now you can also position where the mouth should go and sew this on and glue on the tongue.
Sew the feet to the body and the arms on each side of the body. Sew the ribbon of the hat on and attach the hat to the body as well.

That’s all for today! But I really love how this one turned out, I hope you do as well. If you decide to make it, make sure to tag me on Twitter or Instagram, I’d love to see what you create with my patterns!

Have a wonderful day!

Love
