Strawberries

 This is a simple amigurumi. These strawberries are the size of the actual strawberries. I used cotton yarn and some stuffing. I used a 3 mm hook for this project and I did not add eyes and nose. You can if you want too as there are room for it. I want it to look like a fruit. You can get it done in less than an hour, even for beginners. 


The tutorial video : 



Strawberry (I used dark pink)

1) Do a magic ring, make 6 single crochet (sc) into ring     [total 6]

2) Do 2 sc in each stitch (inc)     [total 12]

3) (sc, inc) - 6 times     [total 18]

4) (sc next 2, inc) - 6 times     [total 24]

5) sc all around     [total 24]

6) sc next 3, do a 2 together (dec), (sc next 6, dec) - 2 times, sc next 3     [total 21]

7) (sc next 5, dec) - 3 times     [total 18]

8) sc next 2, dec, (sc next 4, dec) - 2 times, sc next 2     [total 15]

This is the time to add the eyes and nose if any.

9) (sc next 3, dec) - 3 times     [total 12]

10) sc, dec, (sc next 2, dec) - 2 times, sc      [total 9]

11) (sc, dec) - 3 times     [total 6]

Fastern off by cutting yarn and use a tapestry needle, sew on all the 6 front loop and pull tight to seal. Hide the balance tail inside the amigurumi.


The Green Part

1) Make magic ring and make 6 sc into ring     [total 6]

2) Slip stitch (sl st) in the next stitch. Then chain 4 and from the 2nd stitch from the hook do a sl st, a half double crochet (hdc) in the next stitch, and sc in the following stitch. Sl st in the next stitch. Repeat another 5 times. You should have 6 sets all in. Fastern off and leave a long tail to sew it on to the red part of the strawberry.

Peony Flower

 This is a big flower compare to the other crochet flowers. You will need cotton yarn, wire and some flower making green tape. I also added a chop stick, or you can use any wood or metal, to hold the flower as it is quite heavy with so many petals and wire. I used 3 different colors for the whole flower. The tutorial video :   The Core Part (use yellow yarn) 1) Chain 9, do 3 single crochet (sc) in the 2nd stitch from the hook, sc in the next, slip stitch (ss) until the end, which you will have 6 ss all in. Chain 9 and repeat the whole thing, all in 8 sets. 2) Chain 10, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 7 ss. Make 9 sets. 3) Chain 11, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from the hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 8 ss. Make 10 sets. 4) Chain 1, do sc on the next 27 stitches on the base. 5) Chain 1, turn the work, [sc in the next 2, do a 2 together (dec)] - 6 sets,

Tiny Top Hat

 This Top Hat is tiny enough for my amigurumi. Preferable black in color but for tutorial video sake, I did a brown one too. I used cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. It is very easy to make.  The tutorial video : Top Hat 1) Magic ring with 6 single crochet (sc) into ring [total 6] 2) 2 sc in each, all around [total 12] 3) (Sc in next 3, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat all around [total 15] 4) Sc all around (only on back loop) [total 15] 5) - 8) Sc all around [total 15] 9) 2 sc in each stitch, all around the front loop only [total 30] You can cut yarn now, either you leave a long tail for sewing or weave in the tail.  Hope you make lovely hats for your amigurumi.

Crochet Mooncake

This is my second crochet mooncake. This pattern is different from my first crochet mooncake. I made two version. One with lace yarn and a 2 mm hook and another with cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. The lace yarn mooncake is smaller than the cotton yarn mooncake due to the size of the yarn and hook yet both are equally lovely and look quite like the real thing. The tutorial video :  Mooncake (make 2 - top piece and bottom piece) 1) Start with a magic ring. Make 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring     [total 8] 2) Make 2 sc into each stitch (inc)     [total 16] 3) (Sc, inc) - 8X only on the back loop     [total 24] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 4) (Sc, inc, sc) - 8X     [total 37] 5) (Sc next 3, inc) - 8X  only on the back loop     [total 40] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 6) (Sc next 2, inc, sc next 2) - 8X     [total 48] 7) (Sc, half double crochet (hdc) next 2, 2 double crochet (dc) in the same stitch, hdc next 2, sc, slip stitch) - 6X After complete the top piece,
