after crocheting a Santa and then Rudolph, I was hooked on amigurumi (crocheted cute figures) and decided to create one in lieu of a gift tag for all the family gifts, creating a figure related to each person’s interests. There are so many amigurumi patterns on line and I easily found something applicable for each person
[links to the pattern]
the nurse was for my nephew’s girlfriend
the panda was for my sister
the puppy for my mum
the Christmas lights for my sister’s partner
the dodo for my dad
the cactus for one nephew
and the devil for the other nephew
I really enjoyed finding appropriate patterns and creating them all. Each come together in a evening and I enjoyed the variety after several months of diligently crocheting squares for charity blankets.
I’m now crocheting lots of flowers and leaves to create something pretty to hang when I take down the decorations.

Helena, they are amazing! Such a clever idea.
I love the idea of using them instead of gift tags. I bet everyone was very pleased with them. I got a book of knitted and crocheted moustaches for Christmas..mind boggling, eh?
What a great idea for gift tags!
They're adorable! Love the idea of using them instead of gift tags.

These are SO cute Helena - I'm sure everyone thought they were wonderful. Pinning for something fun to try this year!
Helena these are wonderful, I really love the fairy lights and wonder what his interests might be :)
Happy New Year to you, I am so looking forward to your new fun weekly project and have posted my first pair today.
These are wonderful! They are all so cute. I am definitely going to have to start doing some of these. (I found a sweet little owl pattern that I'd like to start with.)
So cute and clever, Helena! I'm sure the recipients loved receiving these. (Love that you have the devil's hands tied for the photo.)
