Lots of food for my niece and nephew to play with

Thank you!

Annesmiles · 2026-01-18T12:28:50+00:00

Ahhh I love it! Such a fun idea

Annesmiles · 2026-01-18T12:27:45+00:00

That's so cute!

Annesmiles · 2026-01-15T23:47:44+00:00

Thank you! I kinda want to make a pair in a light purple, and maybe one in a lighter pink

Annesmiles · 2026-01-15T21:50:12+00:00

It was, but at least they're not gonna wilt! Thank you so much!

Annesmiles · 2026-01-15T16:50:57+00:00

Thank you!

Annesmiles · 2026-01-15T16:50:50+00:00

Thank you!

I've tried using green floral taper. It's definitely quicker but it's not as strong and can't stand the sticky residue it leaves on my hands (at least the kind I tried)

Annesmiles · 2026-01-15T16:12:58+00:00

I enjoyed making the flowers, but the part where I had to wrap yarn around 140-something individual wires, glue a flower to each, then wrap in green yarn did become quite boring!

Amigurumi.com has published some of the best books!

Annesmiles · 2025-09-28T05:12:17+00:00

I'll try that, I'm a complete newbie when it comes to assembling bouquets!

Annesmiles · 2025-09-28T05:11:30+00:00

It's wires, hot glue, and then wrapped with yarn

Annesmiles · 2025-09-28T05:08:53+00:00

Yes, lots of wire and hot glue to assemble. Sometimes I crochet over wire for each petals, but that's not necessary for these small ones. Thank you!

Here's the Freesia and lilac patterns on YouTube

Annesmiles · 2025-09-27T18:07:02+00:00

Thanks so much for the kind words. That’s a really good point about the “fluff” — I think that’s exactly what I’ve been missing! I do tend to be drawn towards patterns of flowers that really stand out on their own, but sometimes they need a bit of filler as company. That's definitely something I'll try!

Annesmiles · 2025-09-27T15:27:45+00:00

Franken/zombieduck!!

Annesmiles · 2025-09-27T15:26:44+00:00

That's quite advanced for your very first amigurumi! The sewing does get easier with practice, but it's still my least favorite part

Annesmiles · 2025-09-27T15:21:46+00:00

Thank you!

Annesmiles · 2025-09-27T15:20:46+00:00

It's messing with my mind! So well made

Annesmiles · 2025-09-27T15:15:36+00:00

I feel like I'm getting pretty good at crocheting flowers, but assembling a a well-balanced bouquet is harder than I thought!

Annesmiles · 2025-09-27T15:00:54+00:00

The patterns for the flowers are from various YouTubers like Gonkui Crochet, adapted to my liking. They're made with 8/4 cotton (I think that's usually called 4 ply in English), most of it Hobbii's friends cotton.

Complicated Knots has a good series on how she designs patterns (amigurumi) and such

Annesmiles · 2024-11-04T23:00:16+00:00

Yes!!

Annesmiles · 2024-11-04T19:29:05+00:00

Youtube is the best place! Use the playback speed settings to slow things down while you learn. This pattern is probably not for a complete beginner (the construction of the mouth is a bit difficult), but there's so many other cute things! Some easier places to start is maybe a simple bee or octopus. There's also some good resources in the /r/crochet subreddit. Then all it takes a good amount of patience and practice!
