Hey! It’s still July and that means Christmas in July isn’t over just yet! ‘Tis the season for crocheting, and I thought this was as great a time as any to introduce you to the Roly-Poly Santa Gnome! This little cutie is perfect for adding a touch of festive cheer to your home. He’s worked entirely in the round, and uses poly-pellets on his bottom to help keep him sitting straight. I have also included a photo guide after the pattern to help you in assembling your Roly-Poly Santa…
Summer is upon us here in the US, and that means firework season! If you’re looking for a softer and less loud option, here’s a fun little amigurumi firework pattern to celebrate. It’s his time to shine, but as you can see this poor little ‘Fraidy M-80 is scared of his own lit fuse! This pattern is great if you don’t like sewing too many pieces together. Some basic crocheting skills are needed, but even if you are a beginner, you should be able to make this project. I’…
As you all know by now, winter just isn’t for me – but I’m all about this chubby amigurumi penguin pattern! There are currently two variations, Original Paisley (blue with triangle-shaped belly) and Valentine Paisley (pink with heart-shaped belly)! Materials Worsted weight yarn in blue or pink for body, cream/aran for feet and belly, yellow for beak, and white and black yarn for the eyes. I used Red Heart Super Saver 4 Medium (100% Acrylic, 364 yds) in Baby Blue or Baby Pink (approx.115 yards) -(use pink or blue depending…
I have to admit, I’ve never been the biggest fan of the winter season. It’s cold, dreary, and then there’s the whole snow thing… did I mention it’s cold? There are very few things I enjoy about the season. I’ve been cold since birth and I’m just not at my best during winter, folks. My idea of fun in winter is a mug full of hot liquid to sip on, rewatching The Great British Baking Show, and, of course, yarny things. Aside from that, I’…
Well it’s July and what you know what that means – it’s time for Christmas in July! For my Christmas in July contribution I decided to share the pattern for my amigurumi Christmas Pickle ornament. Now there are a TON of origin stories for the Christmas Pickle legend, from it being a tale from Germany passed down through many generations to it being nothing more than a marketing ploy in the 1800s. The story goes that the pickle ornament is hidden on the tree, and depending on the version of the story you follow…

Spring is definitely here, folks! Thank. Goodness. I’ve never cared much for winter.. in fact I can safely say that I hate it. Every year I’m the sour puss during winter because it’s just so dang cold. That being said, I greet spring every year with a GIANT welcome sign and bid winter a not-so-fond adieu. I wanted to come up with an amigurumi to celebrate spring. My brain immediately spat out “bunny, but make ’em chunky.” And thus, Roly-Poly Bunny was born! I know we…
Did you know that March 23rd is National Puppy Day in the US? Talk about the best day ever, am I right?! Not only a day that gives us a great reason to spoil the doggos, Puppy Day also raises awareness of the millions of pups in shelters without a home. If you’re looking to add a dog to your family, consider checking the animal shelters or breed rescue organizations in your area. There are so many amazing animals just full of love that are waiting for you! To celebrate such a wonderful day, make…
Pierogi have always been a huge part of my life. At every holiday or family gathering growing up, pierogi were never short in number. It was not a party unless you wound up regretting the sheer number that you consumed. Even now, at every holiday we bust out the pierogi platters and pile ’em on high with all of the carby goodness. When my husband and I started dating, he had never had a pierogi before. I know, weird right? Not. One. Needless to say, he quickly became a fan – I mean, how could he not?! I…
I’ve always been a bit reluctant to put up holiday decorations. It just feels like there’s such a small window of time that they get to be enjoyed, so I decided to make this amigurumi snowman pattern – the great thing about this fella is that he’ll last from the beginning until the end of the winter season! Materials: Worsted weight yarn in white and orange. I used red and green for his hat/scarf, but feel free to substitute whichever colors you want to make them in. Size E(3…
