My introduction to amigurumi (cute crocheted figures) was the santa that I shared earlier this month
he was fun to make and looks cute and festive.
Then I began to notice other figures in magazines and online and I thought ‘one more won’t hurt’. Staying in the festive theme I created a reindeer head and added a red nose for a Rudolph effect
and before I’d even stuffed the antlers I was back online looking at other patterns and wondering about what else I would make. They are satisfyingly fast to make and so quirky.
I now have over 30 patterns bookmarked, am familiar with the basic instructions and processes, and have bought two kinds of eyes. I can’t show you the other photos yet as I’m making them on contract for Santa – I will share next week.
When those are finished, I’m tempted to make a cute crochet hook (!) that I’ve seen – it really is a whacky creative space.

Love the reindeer!
Rudolph is fab,!....could you send me a link to the site you're using please- I'm sure my Craft group ladies would love to try these!

They are adorable! And I love the idea of crocheting a crochet hook - how fun.
Oh that is cute! It's always fun to find something new isn't it?
Love that reindeer. Are there non-holiday patterns or is this something just to do in December?
