Going good so far I guess…

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Amigurumi: Design Your Own Monster »

Instructions

I had my niece draw me a monster, and then I tried to create it for her...

Difficulty:

Category: Crocheting

Type of item: Toy

For: Children

Style: Whimsical, Casual, Funky, Cute


Materials

Vanna's Choice yarns

What was your inspiration?

This is a monster that my niece drew for me, and then I tried to re-create it with the skills I learned in my Amigurumi class. First you will see her drawing, then a picture of me partially finished, and then the finished product. YIKES, it's scary!!

What are you most proud of?

I am proud of myself for trying my new skills and happy with trying some of my own made up techniques, like the spikes for hair and teeth =)

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I'd say, for advice, make something cuter for your first project, lol, this is ugly, but yet, it does look like her drawing, which is what i wanted. So get creative!!

I'm always amazed that someone can crochet or knit objects like this with no pattern....I can't even use a pattern! Great job, I really like the monster!!
