I ran over amigurumi toys one day while I was looking for something totally different... But when I saw them, I totally fell in love. It is amazing that so fantastic little things can be made of yarn, just using one simple stitch over and over... So many original toys, animals, dolls, educational staff... I am not so experienced in making amigurumi to create my own, but for now I am fascinated with pieces that I made using patterns available online.
There are so many incredible patterns to use, it is so hard to choose one. So, I left the choice to my sons. They love those things I make, unbelievable for boys. Well, this time they chose a character from their favorite animated series, Family Guy - little Stewie Griffin.
I found several patterns online, and chose one of them. Thanks to Erin, I used her pattern: Stewie Griffin A Crochet Pattern by Erin Scull. And I am very happy to say that my Stewie came out just the same as in the TV series.
My son adores his new little friend. They study together, Stewie has his own place among my son's books. I wonder if he learnt something :) He has his own place in my son's bed, his own blanket. When my son leaves the apartment, Stewie is waiting for me on the coffee table, holding a note that my son left to me. I wonder if I should get him some small plates, maybe he should eat with us on the kitchen table?
The next one I plan to make is Brian, and maybe someone else from the Family Guy. We'll see.

That is really very cool. My mother taught me how to crochet when I was ten. That's not something you tell your friends at that age, but I remember enjoying it greatly. :)

DeleteIn the 6th grade we had some classes where we had to do similar projects; boys too, of course. It was so funny :) But they mostly chose embroidery and tapestry and made some logos of their favorite rock bands. My brother even kept proudly one of these tapestries in his room for years :)
