My dearest friends, it has been too long! I am ashamed to say that this seems to be a yearly affair that I update this blog. If you want to see my daily updates, please find me on Instagram: @amigurumei 🙂

Today’s post has been something I’ve wanted to do for the longest time! And I finally sat down, and I did it!

The FREE PATTERN for Mei-chan is now here for you to enjoy!

You may remember Mei-chan from when I first started this blog, almost 10 years ago! She was a fuzzy character I created, inspired by my love for Studio Ghibli and My Neighbour Totoro.

I redid her pattern from scratch and created a bigger Mei-chan, and I love her so much! She will be a permanent fixture on my craft space for sure!

I hope you’ll enjoy making her!

*Do note that as this pattern is free, I hope that you’ll not distribute it without permission or resell it on any sites. You can, of course, sell any doll you make from this pattern 🙂

**To crochet with fuzzy yarn, it is easier to pair 1 fuzzy yarn with 1 normal yarn of the same colour so that you can see where the stitches are. The wrong side is usually fuzzier, so we use this as the outer side of the doll (the part that is visible). 

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please remember that when you’re working with fuzzy yarn paired up with a normal yarn, all subsequent rounds are worked in BACK LOOPS ONLY. 

With 1 pink fuzzy yarn + 1 pink normal yarn:

Round 1: Ch 2, Sc 6 in second ch from hook {6}.

Round 2: [Inc] around {12}.

Round 3: [Inc, sc 1] around {18}.

Round 4: [Inc, sc 2] around {24}.

Round 5: [Inc, sc 3] around {30}.

Round 6: [Inc, sc 4] around {36}.

Round 7: [Inc, sc 5] around {42}.

Round 8: [Inc, sc 6] around {48}.

Round 9: [Inc, sc 7] around {54}.

Round 10: [Inc, sc 8] around {60}.

Rounds 11-18 (8 rounds): Sc around {60}.

You can position and secure the scrapbooking brads for the eyes now. It should be placed in the center, about 10cm from the top of the head, with 5 cm in between each eye. 

Round 19: [Inv dec, sc 8] around {54}.

Round 20: [Inv dec, sc 7] around {48}.

Round 21: [Inv dec, sc 6] around {42}.

Round 22: [Inv dec, sc 5] around {36}.

Round 23: [Inv dec, sc 4] around {30}.

Round 24: [Inv dec, sc 3] around {24}.

Round 25: [Inv dec, sc 2] around {18}.

Stuff head firmly. 

Round 26: [Inv dec, sc 1] around {12}.

Round 27: [Inv dec] around {6}.

Fasten off and leave a long end for sewing eye indentations. 

Eye indentations

1. You only need a normal yarn for this. With a darning needle, bring the remaining yarn from the bottom of the head through to the left side of the head, near the left eye.
2. Make one horizontal stitch and bring the thread back down to the bottom of the head. Gently tug on the yarn to create a slight indentation.
3. Now repeat the above on the right side of the head, near the right eye. Knot the yarn end at the bottom of the head and trim off excess.

Muzzle (5.5mm hook)

With 1 white fuzzy yarn + 1 white normal yarn:

Round 1: Ch 2, Sc 10 in second ch from hook {10}.

Fasten off and leave a long end for sewing.

Sew muzzle on between the eyes with whipstitches. 

**If it is too difficult to sew with the paired-up yarn, just hide the fuzzy yarn by pulling it through the doll, and use the remaining normal yarn for securing. 

You may give the muzzle a little trim for a neater look. 

Sew on the oval bead for the nose, on the top-center of the muzzle. 

At this point, you may dab on some pink blush with Q tips 🙂

IN CASE YOU DIDN’T SEE THIS NOTE EARLIER: Please remember that when you’re working with fuzzy yarn paired up with a normal yarn, all subsequent rounds are worked in BACK LOOPS ONLY.

Body (5.5mm hook)

With 1 pink fuzzy yarn + 1 pink normal yarn:

*Remember to work in back loops only for fuzzy yarn paired up with normal yarn!

Subsequent rows: Hdc in each st across {3}.

Continue until your scarf measures about 34cm in length, then check if it can loop comfortably around Mei-chan’s neck. 

Fasten off and weave in ends.

My dearest friends…do you believe in fairies?

I must admit, I was a curious child, a fairy-seeking type of child, if you must. Always on the lookout for a little tiny door etched ever so faintly on a tree trunk, or by the hidden side of the walls.

I believe in fairies, and I love bringing the magic of fairies to “life”.

If you’re anything like me, perhaps you might be delighted to meet my newest friend, Maja the Forest Fairy.

Maja is my contribution to the #FestivalAmigurumi organized by The Sewing Box Magazine and @gallimelmas.

The festival starts today!

For the first time this year, the magazine is bringing together all my favourite designers from around the world, and together we’ve each worked on a pattern to be included in the Festival Amigurumi digital pattern bundle.

This very special bundle is now on sale, and will only be available for purchase from July 5th till July 10th.

One price, over 30 patterns all in one go. For a limited time only.

CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE THE #FESTIVALAMIGURUMI PATTERN BUNDLE

If you believe in fairies, I would like to invite you along on a magical journey…a path that leads to the realm of Maja the forest fairy. Along the way you will come across talking cats (@anniegurumi), a penguin with a hat (@lemonyarncreations , a girl with the heart of a cherry (@kurumitoys) and so many more!

I am so excited to be a part of this amazing event! For more details, you can see my Instagram stories and my Instagram posts. I will be sharing more on what other exciting patterns are included in the bundle.

A warm thank you to my friends at Hobium Yarns for sponsoring the lovely La Mia Linen Cotton for this project!

*A portion of the price paid for the bundle will go back to all the designers who participated in this event. Thank you so much for your love and support!

Today is a good day. And I have good news for you. A FREE pattern finally!

It’s been a while. I hope everyone is safe at home!

I’m gearing up to participate in @Airaligray’s #amigurumay (although I’m already a little late to the game), and I knew I just had to make some of these little guys to fit into the theme of “Crochet & Netflix”. Because yay! We now have Studio Ghibli shows on Netflix! I’m sorry if it’s not available in your region! I hope it will be soon.

Have you ever tried using a pet slicker to fuzz up your amigurumi? These little soot sprites are made for the pet slicker. They are so quick to make, and so fun to fuzz up. Great stress-busters! And also if you’re stuck on designing your next amigurumi, you could take a little break to make these little soot soldiers.

I’ve only had time to make 3 but please go ahead to make more!

Fuzzy amigurumi works best when you’re using acrylic yarn. I used Hobium Yarn’s La Mia Baby Cotton which is 50% cotton and 50% acrylic, and it still fuzzes up well. For the eyes, I chose to use something a little thinner and also with a thinner hook, for more definition.

I like to use scrapbooking brads for eyes — I didn’t have any small black ones left, but I did have white ones, so I coloured over them with a black marker 🙂

Important tip: Make sure to crochet tightly for this project, or your stuffing will show through when you start fuzzing up the soot sprite. Use a tweezer to remove any stray stuffing that peeks through.

See this video on how to use the pet slicker on your amigurumi!

Round 2: [Inc] around {12}.

Round 3: [Inc, sc 1] around {18}.

Round 4: [Inc, sc 2] around {24}.

Fasten off and weave in ends.

 

Eyes

For this, you will be crocheting in an oval around both sides of the foundation chain.

Make 2 with DK-weight white yarn & 2.5mm hook:

Row 1: Ch 4. Starting from the second ch from hook, sc in the

next 2 ch then make 3sc in the final ch {5}.

You will now be crocheting on the other side of the chain, and continuing till the end in an oval.

Sc in the next ch, then inc in the final ch {5+3=8}.

Clean fasten off and leave a long end for sewing.

 

Assembly

1. Start fuzzing up your soot sprite – use your pet slicker to brush all over the main black body. Remember to do this before you attach the eyes (so you won’t fuzz up the eyes too!)
2. I find that it is easier to brush only in one direction for the sides. For the center of the soot sprite (where you will be sewing on the eyes later), you can try scrubbing back and forth with your pet slicker.
3. After you’ve achieved the “desired” fuzziness, sew on the eyes, with a small gap in between the two.
4. Add glue to your black brads and pop them in the eyes. They should have a cross-eyed look.
5. Add glue to your pink brads and pop them in to where you want the cheeks to be.
6. Gently squeeze the soot sprite to flatten the face (this makes for better photo-taking).
7. You can continue to add more fuzz by brushing with your pet slicker, but do so carefully so you don’t end up picking out the eyes!
8. Make a bunch — the more the merrier! Tag me on Instagram @amigurumei when you do!

This is my second time taking part in an amigurumi “book tour”, and I’m so honoured that Ngoc Anh, also known as Khuc Cay, of @lespetitesmainsdekhuccay, reached out to me a few months back to see if her wonderful book could hop over to my world and hang about for a bit.

If you haven’t already heard, Sweet Crochet Friends is the latest must-have amigurumi book from Tuva Publishing (I love how thick and beautifully-printed all their books are).

Featuring the sweetest designs from amigurumi artist Ngoc Anh of Bordeaux, France, the pages inside this book will have you thinking and re-thinking over which project you’d jump onboard with first. Simply because — you’re spoilt for choice!

Can you see what I mean?

It was love at first sight with the koala. And then I thought, hmm maybe a lamb would be even cuter! I picked out some yarn, and then started making the first few rounds…of a girl head — because I couldn’t stop looking at Nana the Fall girl. I had to change my mind again. Finally, I settled on…

Lily the lamb! I made slight changes to her boots and gave her a little bag to frolic around with. I love her so much! The only thing was, I couldn’t get my bobble stitches to look as bobbly as Ngoc Ahn’s!

Lily the lamb was a joy to make. And I love her customisable she is! I gave her yellow rain boots, just in case, you know, there are puddles to plod around in.

I also love how she blends in perfectly with my newly handpainted split-colour background. So sweet! (If you want to see how I painted this background, find me on TikTok @amigurumei — I have a tutorial video uploaded!)

Lily the lamb in all her 2.5mm crochet hook goodness. I love how she is almost the same size as the rest of my daydreamers! I used a combination of Kartopu Organica Yarn, SMC Catania, Gazzal Organic Cotton and La Mia Mercerized Cotton from Hobium Yarns. I was actually running out of Kartopu Organica shades, but miraculously found some in our local Spotlight store! Hurrah!

By the way, this is sweet Anna, Ngoc Ahn’s lovely little daughter. She is featured prominently in the book, and for good reason too! She is so, so adorable and looks very much loved. Plus, she looks like she loves amigurumi! It is certainly a dream if I could ever get my boys to sit still for a photography session with my dolls!

Here are some close-ups of my favourite other characters from Sweet Crochet Friends:

Which would you make first? You can ORDER SWEET CROCHET FRIENDS HERE ON AMAZON. 

The book would make a lovely Christmas gift for a budding amigurumi enthusiast — there’s more than enough step-by-step photos to help you if you’re new to some of the stitches/instructions.

Thank you so much dearest Ngoc Anh (did you know? Her nickname Khuc Cay, in Vietnamese, translates to Buche de Noel — Yule Log Cake!) for hanging about with me here. I am so happy to be a part of this circle of wonderful amigurumi artists, and I’m so happy to have found a new friend!

Please check out more of her wonderful work @lespetitesmaindekhuccay on Instagram (make sure you spell that right!) I can type it in one go now…but I don’t think I’ve got the pronounciation down right just yet! Ngoc Anh also has a collection of other beautiful patterns on her Etsy store, under the name TitesMainsdeKhuccay. I remember first discovering her work through the Amigurumipatterns.net Prehistoric-themed amigurumi design contest. I couldn’t take my eyes of her lovely little baby triceratops!

Congratulations Ngoc Anh on publishing your first crochet book and making it the sweetest thing ever!

P/S If anyone has any tips on how to make my bobble stitches bobbly, please, please let me know!

If I could sleep a thousand sleeps, I would.

But life is too precious to just let it pass on by, with my eyes closed.

It’s raining again though — my favourite kind that just drizzles and tinkle and slip softly off the leaves on the tree.

Perhaps I’ll snooze for a little while more.

If anyone sees me, maybe, just maybe, they’ll call me a dreamer.

Assembly
1. Sew the face piece on Round 9 onwards of the head/body. I like to use backstitches to make it look neat.

2. Sew nose in the center of the face piece.

3. Sew on eye pieces, positioned diogonally downwards about 2 stitches away from the nose.

4. Sew on cheeks below the eyes.

5. With black crochet thread, sew on the sleepy eyelids, with a diagonal backstitch about 2 stitches long.

6. Sew on the eyebrows above the eyes, also with a diagonal backstitch about 2 stitches long.

7. Sew a “v” shape for the lips.

8. Position the longer arm below the right eye. Whipstitch on.

9. Position the shorter arm slightly higher, next to the left eye. Whipstitch on. You can also position the arms any way you like! The cutest way is to ensure they look like they can “grab” onto something.

10. Sew on the legs near Round 27 of the head/body. They should have a smaller gap as compared to the arms, and should be positioned within the space between the arms.

11. For the hair at the top, you will surface crochet onto the head/body. With Shoutaro facing you, find the top-center of the head. Attach yarn and ch 4. Starting from the second ch from hook, sc in the next 3. Slip stitch back onto the head. Repeat 2 more times and fasten off.

And there you go! Your very own sleepy pocket sloth! If you manage to try it in another colour way, I’d love to see (I’m thinking lavender in place of teal would be lovely too)!

Designer’s note: Yes you can make Shoutaros from this pattern and sell it in your Etsy shop or at your local craft fair 🙂 But as this is an original amiguruMEI pattern, kindly do not claim it as your own. You may place a link to this pattern from your site, but please do not repost it onto your page. Remember to tag me @amigurumei on Instagram and share a picture of your little Shoutaro once you’re done 🙂

Also, as this is a FREE pattern, I hope it can remain free (please alert me if you do come across anyone trying to sell the pattern online). Let us be kind my dear friends!

A couple of months ago, I was given the wonderful opportunity to collaborate on a dream project.

The Catbee collection for kids launches today in Singapore and if you’ve been following my Instagram @amigurumei, you would’ve caught buzz of the teensy little Catbee amigurumi dolls I made for them!

Over 10 years ago, when I was a copywriter finding my way in the advertising world, I was fortunate enough to have met Sa’ad Hussein.

He’s the amazing dad behind the Catbee brand, which features the 100% special artwork of his youngest daughter, Aisha.

I can’t begin to express how happy I am that he has included me and the boys in this magical journey.

Here are my little Sosukes, modelling their top picks! (Don’t you just love our au naturale wall?)

If you’re in Singapore, please head over to this place!

And if you want to make a little amigurumi Catbee of your own, here’s the FREE pattern: iamcatbee.pdf

Our warmest hugs and love to the Catbee brand and Sa’ad’s family — wish we could be there to witness the launch of a beautiful family adventure. For now I shall have to contend with running after my boys across the shores in KL!
