Have you tried crocheting with double strands of yarn to make something big, extra quick? That’s what I did with little Miss Kitty here — I made her many years ago when I held my first ever amigurumi workshop in Singapore. I was rather short on time so I’m sorry to say I did not note down her pattern! On normal days, my favourite yarn weight is DK (light), paired up with a 2.5mm hook. I do get occasionally excited whenever I get to work with bulky squishy yarn, and I save that for making gifts for newborns 💓💓💓Are you a lightweight or heavyweight for today’s #amigurumay prompt?

Why did the baby chick cross the road? Because it was take-your-child-to-work day 🐥🐥🐥 #amigurumay throwback to when I made chubby little Piyoko-chan, and when taking your kids out was a normal part of our every day 🐥🐥 Pattern for Piyoko-chan can be found in my @etsy shop 💓💓💓

I had the urge to make a zebra recently 🦓 I dunno, does it look like a zebra? I tweaked Kirika the unicorn’s pattern just by a little bit 😂 Let me know if this is something you’d like to make and I’ll finish up on the pattern! And how apt for today’s #amigurumay prompt ⭐️⭐️⭐️ It feels good to clear all the yarn from my table once I finish up on a project...very therapeutic to have the excuse to arrange and sort through my yarn 😂 Also, I recently wrapped up on a big big project! If all goes well, you will hear more about it in the later part of the year. Woohoo! Here’s to finishing up, and starting anew. I’m still loving La Mia Linen Cotton, used here for my zebracorn from @hobiumyarns 💓💓💓 Happiest rainbow on earth pattern by dearest @anniegurumi 🌈

When I first started making amigurumi, my goal was to make as man dolls as possible from my favourite animes, cartoons and shows. Fast forward to almost 9 years later, and #amigurumay is asking: How Many? Well, there is definitely room for so many more! I’ve been so excited with designing my own dolls that I had forgotten to put aside time to make my favourite ones 💖💖💖 You can find the patterns for Anpanman, Little My and Sarah & Duck for free on my blog. Links to the free patterns in my bio 👆🏻 I’m sorry I don’t have the patterns for Cheburashka, Charlie Brown and Kaonashi 🙂 yet! Maybe one day I shall sit down and revisit them...

Day 20 of #amigurumay : What’s behind? I like to use crocheted props to add depth to my pictures sometimes. I’ve been using my iPhone to take photos and I love using the “portrait” function because it automatically blurs out the background for me for that extra magical look. Little Red and Baby Wolf patterns can be found on @lovecraftscrochet ❤️❤️❤️ I didn’t write down the pattern for the house yet though 🏠

It was a couple of years ago when I discovered the wonders of using matte cotton yarn, and how it gives an almost “vintage” aura to amigurumi. My current favourite is La Mia Linen Cotton from @hobiumyarns 💖💖💖 Have you tried crocheting with cotton yarn? Some cotton selections have a shiny finish, while others are matte and muted. I have been hoarding all kinds of cotton yarn (I still have boxes of acrylic yarn leftover!). I almost always use cotton yarn for my makes now and I’m loving how it also doesn’t fuzz up as much after some rough handling. A good pick for when you’re making toys for little hands 💓💓💓That’s my tip for Day 19 of #amigurumay 💖💖💖 What is your favourite brand of cotton yarn? Shizuka the daydreamer giraffe pattern is available in my @etsy store 🦒

“Because when you’re imagining, you might as well imagine something worthwhile.” How do you like my Little Anne close up? Hello Day 18 of #amigurumay 💖💖💖 I have yet to finish the final season of Anne with an E. The book is also half-read 😂 Little Anne pattern available in my @etsy store 💓💓💓

I prefer using simple shapes and stitches to doll up my amigurumi, although sometimes it can get quite complicated when I end up having to make a great many “simple” pieces just to finish up one part of the design 😂 Like the hair shown here on this WIP fairy doll 🧚🏻‍♂️ I’m not very good in making irregular shapes, so I normally end up taking the roundabout way to achieve a certain look. What’s your take on Day 17 of #amigurumay 💖💖💖 I’m currently in love with La Mia Linen Cotton from @hobiumyarns 💖 paired here with my favourite mint stash - La Mia Cottony 🌈

I can choose to be a small tiny speck in the constellation of dreams, or I can shine in my own tiny way, and be proud that I can live amongst the stars ⭐️ I am proud of what I can do, and proud of what I will continue to do. I am so proud that I have found you, a little world to live in, and so proud that you’ve allowed me to stay on...without having to surge on in breakneck speed. Thank you my amigurumi friends, for sharing this world with me 💖💖💖 Day 16 of #amigurumay 💖💖💖 Also, am so proud that I got to be a part of the first ever #amigurumiworldtour organised by @belleandgrace_hmc and @lex_in_stitches 💖💖💖 Ren the orang utan pattern is available in my @etsy store ⭐️
