I thought it was about time I gave my favourite readers another gift, so here it is: a fun new donationware pattern… I’ve called these guys Mop Top Mascots for obvious reasons. They stand about 4″ tall, and the real joy of them is that they are so easy to make, and easy to customize. […]

pattern catalogue
Last week, I had a request for my catalogue, but, um, I don’t have a catalogue… I thought it would be interesting to try putting together a simple one as a PDF file. Sometimes it’s handy to see everything on one page (or 5 in this case – I couldn’t fit everything onto 1 page […]
how to: invisible decrease
Remember in the ‘early days’ of making amigurumi, when we didn’t know about the Magic Ring? Remember what an aha! moment it was when you figured out how to do it, and how we’ve never looked back since? Today I have what I think will be the next aha! moment for amigurumi makers: the invisible […]

sizing up (and down)
This old post has been revised and rewritten – please see my Resizing Amigurumi article for my best advice on this topic! I’ve had a couple of requests lately from people who like my patterns, but want to make a larger version. So, the question is, is it easily possible to ‘size up’ amigurumi designs? […]
AmiDogs Pug puppy pattern
My little chihuahua has made a new friend! I’ve been getting requests for a pug pattern for months, so I thought it was about time I did something about that. Sorry, people who have requested other breeds – I’m still working down my list! I let my ideas percolate in the back of my mind […]
