Super Easy Cute and Tiny Amigurumi Bear

I'm building up my skills in Amigurumi. This week, I tried to learn how to do another ear type.

I realize now that the yarn color is a bit dark to show well in pictures, so the picture this week is a little dark. But no fear, it's always best to make one for yourself and see.

Picture: Too Cute Tiny Amigurumi Bear (From this picture, it looks a bit like a monkey, but trust me, it's a bear.)

Slip stitch into 1st chain (This will pinch the ear and make a curved shape.).
Bind off leaving enough at the end to sew onto the bear.
Repeat to make the second ear.

Assembly:
Super glue the paws onto the body.

Sew the ears onto the bear.

Cut out two eye shaped pieces in the black felt for the eyes. This week I made rectangular eyes. Glue onto face.

Take black yarn and cut roughly a 3 inch piece off. Take the yarn needle and thread the black yarn through the center of the face where the nose would be normally. Tie a knot twice in the center of the face after removing the needle. Use needle to weave in ends of the black yarn back into the body.

Perfectly tiny and perfectly cute amigurumi bear.

Super Easy Cute and Tiny Amigurumi Badger

I tried to up the ante and create a Badger. I haven't done ears before, so I thought now was a good time to learn.

The pattern is mostly mine except for the ears. I wanted to see how ears work first before attempting to make one up myself. The number in parenthesis is how many stitches you should have in the row.

Materials:
3.5 mm Crochet Hook
4 ply yarn (I picked gray for the body, creamish color for the face and black for the ears and feet.)
Stich marker (I used a bobby pin.)
Sutffing
Black Felt
White Felt
Scissors
Super Glue

Instructions:
Body
Hint: Start with the cream color for the face

R3: *Sc, Sc, Inc* til end of row (12)
R4: *Sc, Sc, Inc* til end of row (16)
R5: *Sc, Sc, Sc, Inc* till end of row (20)

Incorporate the black yarn only for the ear part. Otherwise, continue to use the creamish color for the rest of this row.

R6**: 7 sc, (sc into front loop of st above eye, ch 3, skip 1st ch, 2 sc [down chain], sc into f.l. next head st of rnd; turn [work up ear], sc, sl st; turn [work down ear], sl st, sl st into f.l. of next head st) 3 sl st in f.l. of next 3 sts in round; repeat parentheses once, 7 sc

Switch to the gray color.

It's another super quick, super easy, super cute amigurumi project.

Super Easy Cute and Tiny Mole Amigurumi

I have tried to do amigurumi for a while but I haven’t been very successful because I was trying to make complicated patterns. After focusing on the basics (magic circle, single crochet, increase, decrease, bind off), I was on my way to making my own patterns.

This is my first attempt at writing a pattern. The number in parenthesis is how many stitches you should have in the row.
