Hot Air Balloons: Crochet Amigurumi Toys DIY Free Pattern

Hot Air Balloons: Crochet Amigurumi Toys DIY Free Pattern
There are countless options for using these Hot Air Balloons as versatile gifts (baby mobile, joggling balls), and it is up to your imagination to choose the content of the basket. Put a special message in the basket for the recipient, or a small treat, or a passenger, or a special gift (could some jewelry piece be a good idea?) - anything your imagination can come up with! You can show the person how to free the ball from strings, or you can leave it as a riddle to solve… Can you guess why these crocheted Amigurumi Hot Air Balloons are arranged as baby mobile?! In fact, I live in a Dragon cave – not only my baby is a Dragon, so is his father. Continue reading to explore more…. Little Dragon needed some nice baby mobile. Anyway, back to crochet. Loving both of my Dragons equally strong and having limited time – I had to find a creative way how dragon eggs could be used both ways – as joggling balls and also as hot air balloons for baby mobile. STEP 1: Crochet the balls.

Hobbes - Amigurumi Patterns.net I've finally decided to write up my Hobbes pattern and instead of selling it I'd like to give it to you for free. The reason he is free is because the creator of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson did not want to commercialize his work so keeping that in mind Please don't sell this pattern and don't sell the completed work. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I originally made this up for my son because of his love for Hobbes (he's 23 now) I armed myself with Watterson's brilliant drawings as a reference. I made this pattern to look as close as possible to the Hobbes' drawings . I realized that Hobbes could be broken down into basic shapes. He also had the muzzle of a cat so I looked to the famous Amineko cat. Once I got the shapes down I worked on size. Until I started making him I never realized how different Hobbes looks from a regular cat. His head and body are a lot longer thanan normal cat plus he has the shortest fattest legs. That caused me problems since tubular legs and arms don't want to bend. Resources:

DIY Crocheted Hair Ties Last week was a busy one. University-busy, not crafty-busy. And always when I'm having a busy week and I'm working like crazy my brain just likes to tease me with all the creative things I could be doing instead. A nasty brain I have. So between homework and studying I decided to whip up these lovely crocheted hair ties and it took me less than 45 minutes for all three of them! You'll need: A simple hair tie, best are ties that are slightly darker than your hair or slightly darker than the color of the yarn (you won't see them shining through later). The white one was designed to look like you took a simple crocheted ribbon instead of a hair tie, so I added fake ribbon ends and a knot. [1] Start with a slip knot and continue with 5-7 chain stitches. I'm in love with the light and natural look of these hair ties.

MK: Beanie "Braid". Discussion on LiveInternet - Russian Service Online Diaries 1. Материалы: Я вязала из пряжи Lira (Vita). Ушло почти 2 мотка молочного цвета. 2. 3. Сначала делаем т.н. кольцо амигуруми. 1 ряд: в кольцо провязываем 12 СБН (= 6 раппортов основного узора). 2 ряд: *4 ВП подъема, 2 СС2Н в 1-ый СБН пред. ряда, 3 СС2Н в послед. Чтобы было понятнее (да и проще :) ), я набросала схему: Получился такой цветочек: 3 ряд: *4 ВП подъема, 2 СС2Н во 2-ой и 3-ий СС2Н пред. ряда, 3 СС2Н в послед.3 СС2Н пред. ряда ( ВАЖНО! повторяем от *, заменяя 4 ВП подъема на 1 СС2Н = 12 раппортов.Схема (прибавка розово-синяя): А вот и то, что должно получиться: 4 ряд: вяжем по схеме основного узора без прибавок (12 раппортов). 5 ряд: вяжем аналогично 3-ему ряду с прибавками = 24 раппорта. 6-13 ряды: вяжем без прибавок. 6 рядов = 15 см в диаметре: Плетеную часть благополучно завершили (нить не обрывать!). Далее необходимо выровнять край. Получается такая заготовка: На этом этапе высота шапочки около 15 см. 4. 5. 6. Шапочка готова!
