**This pattern is now available on my new blog - Esshaych.com. I hope to be transferring all my old patterns over to this new site, plus also adding some new patterns and tutorials too :)**
Fantastic pattern - had a lot of fun trying it out. My legs aren't as curly as yours but I figure on a couple more practices I'll get those stitches in tight!
Nikky - She's so cute, hard to believe she's your first crochet project!! Fab job! :D
Scribewraith - Yeah the legs take abit of getting used to; you can always try adding more HDC's to the legs ie - do 4/5 HDC per chain stitch instead of the stated 3 :)
I plan to make this in different colors, right now I finished a pink one.(http://longwinterhobby.blogspot.ca/2012/12/amigurumi-octopus.html) This is only my third amigurumi project. I never really crochet anything before, so I really appreciate the easy to follow pattern. Thank you!
:) this was my project camping this weekend I didn't have buttons so I crocheted a bow and sewed on here eyes. I lacked colors in my travel bag so she turned out looking a little sassy.
I am pretty new to crochet but I was able to do this pattern with only minimal trouble with the body. That trouble only came from my Inexperience and my inability to remember where I'm at in the pattern. I made a blue one and it is so cute.
Tana: use stitch markers at the beginning of each row. It helps me a *lot*, and is the only way I can make anything.
I've made one of these (in pink), and have been working on a second for a friend (purple). For some reason I can't get hers to look right. Which is very frustrating. But still, they're just so adorable! Thanks so much for the pattern :)
Way too cute! I should learn to do this, but I think I'll leave it to the masters. :)

Thanks for the pattern!

ReplyDeleteI have found that the more stitches one puts into the chain links the curlier the legs become.
DeleteThanks so much! Mine turned out super cute! :)
