Reading It's Boba Time for Pearl Li (see my review later this week) left me itching to do some crocheting. It's been years since I made amigurumi but I found some patterns I loved online and set to work. The best thing about amigurumi is you can easily make little adjustments to personalize your dolls. For instance, the pattern for this triceratops doesn't have a tail but ot was easy enough to add one to mine.
I left the legs off of the goat .
And for both I used fabric paint instead of plastic safety eyes.
Very cute! I think the book will encourage a lot of attempts at crochet-- I'm even thinking of buying a pattern book for the library. Crochet is something I have never learned how to do, which is just as well. I think I would make a really horrific toaster cover if I could!
