The crochet section for next year's competitions requires two amigurumi toys. I've been asked to give hints and tips about amigurumi at an information day later this month. First step is to have a sample to show. I've used this pattern
before but in thicker cotton. The competition stipulates 4-ply yarn or thinner. This is 4-ply cotton and the mouse is quite a bit smaller than the other two I made. That increases the cuteness factor, but makes parts like the tail very fiddly to work. The competition forbids bought decorations, so I crocheted a flower for her hair in place of the ribbon in the pattern. She only just fits the maximum height requirement of 20 cm, which gives me a clue when I go looking for patterns later.
Cute! I recently purchased some amigurumi yarn from Red Heart. Each ball is meant to make two animals, and the patterns are free on the Red Heart site. When the grandchildren were down in March, we chose which ones to make, and when they come back in June we will make them. I've never made one before, and I'm looking forward to it!
