For Valentines Day I’ve made this cute little Love Monster, using my Adorable Monster pattern. I had some lovely pink fuzzy yarn that I’d saved for ages, and this seemed the perfect thing to make with it. I had to give him a heart to give to people he loves, so I’ve included the pattern to make that below.
Amigurumi Heart Pattern
This is a simple pattern to make a three-dimensional amigurumi heart that could be used for all sorts of things. Make it into a decoration, make several of them and display in a bowl or string together to hang on the wall. You could give one to someone you’ve fall ..read more

As it was heading towards autumn a couple of years ago, and people had started talking about Halloween online, I had an urge to make a witch with a pumpkin head. I thought I'd work on the pattern and have it ready in time for the spooky season. Of course, it took me much longer to make than I thought, so I played with the idea a bit and created a pumpkin-headed scarecrow as well. Then I shelved it, as it seemed a bit pointless bringing out a pattern like that in springtime. As autumn swung round again last year I suddenly remembered this pattern and got it ready, but I completely forgot to p ..read more

I absolutely loved season 1 of Andor, the Star Wars show that came out in 2022, and prequel to Rogue One. Brilliantly made, it had a different feel to many other Star Wars films and shows, and I can't wait to see the conclusion, hopefully out later this year. One of my favourite characters was the salvage assist droid, B2EMO belonging to the Andor family. He is an old droid, a bit battered and with a vocal stutter, but he is incredibly loyal.
Making something that was a square shape was an interesting challenge, but I ended up working out the pattern quite quickly in the end (handy, since ..read more

Since the new Dungeons & Dragons film has just been released, I thought it would be fun to share this simple dice bag pattern with you D&D players out there. I’ve had a few goes at playing over the years, but never had a chance to get really into the swing of it (I tend to stick to tabletop games). However, my daughter has been playing for years, and has built up an impressive collection of dice, so I thought I’d make her a nice, sturdy bag for them.
It’s a fairly simple design, but to give a bit of visual interest, and hopefully some extra strength, I’ve used front post stitches t ..read more

My latest pattern is a simple human figure, without features but fairly proportional and shaped more realistically than most amigurumi. It is non-gendered and designed to be made in one colour. You can use pipe cleaners or wire in the limbs to make it poseable, so it can be a little friend, hanging around on your shelves and looking after your plants. The pattern includes details to make a base for the figure, so you can pose it like an artist's manikin, or you can turn it into a statue, fixed in one position (a pattern for a sword is also included).
You can also use this pattern as a ..read more

My latest project is a collection of crochet patterns for nine tiny woodland animals which includes: fox, badger, squirrel, rabbit, hedgehog, mole, otter, sitting and flying owls, as well as patterns for a playmat, tree stump and hollow log. Like some of my other patterns, such as the Tiny Cats and Dogs, these make cute little animals, ranging in size from 4 cm to 10 cm (1.5" to 4") long, which are mostly crocheted 'all-in-one', with the ears, legs and tails made as you go along, and minimal sewing.
As I live in the UK, these are woodland animals that I'm familiar with from Britain, a ..read more

Cara Dune.
Greef Karga.
Moff Gideon, with the Darksaber.
Kuiil.

Grogu (Baby Yoda) at a larger scale. The first Grogu is tiny ..read more

It's a week to go until Easter, and I've been working on some cute Chubby Bunnies and Baby Chubby Bunnies. They're made using my free White and small Blue Totoro and Tiny White Totoro patterns which you can find on my Ravelry page. I've tweaked them a little to adapt them to bunnies, and made a few different types to show you some options.
You can make them in natural rabbit colours, or use colourful or striped yarn for a fun look. Crochet the tails, or make a great big pom-pom instead. The Baby Chubby Bunnies are so quick and easy to make, you could crochet lots of ..read more

I recently had a message from someone who was having problems making the arms for the Yeti from my Yeti and Bigfoot pattern, They are made from the fingers upwards and the technique can be quite fiddly to get to grips with. Otherwise the pattern is quite a straightforward one for people fairly new to making amigurumi, so I thought it would be good to try to make the arms easier to crochet.
So, the pattern now includes the additional information on how to make the arms from the top down, which makes the fingers much easier to crochet. I still slightly prefer the way the original me ..read more

Super-quick Snake - Free Crochet Pattern
These little snakes are quick and easy to crochet, they don't need stuffing and there's hardly any sewing to finish them off. They naturally curl around your fingers and are great for anyone who loves snakes. They would also make cool and creepy decorations for Halloween.
You will need:
Small amounts of 2 different colours of DK weight yarn to work together - green and black, or green and yellow make nice snake colours mixed together (thinner or thicker yarn is fine, just use a thinner or thicker hook).
Small amount of red yarn for th ..read more
