Description
So, this is actually from a free pattern I found on ravelry which you can access here [link] I'm not really the happiest with how he came out, initially he had button eyes that made him look like something out of coroline so I refused to believe that was the end of it and he's been sitting in my "halfway" pile since the beginning of January, so this morning, I was thinking about working on something else when one of his scary button eyes stared at me . . . I promptly took those out and attempted something else, this was the result.Materials:
Red Heart Super Saver (brown)
Size E hook
some kinda polka dotted fabric
Fabric Paints
Although I'm not delighted, he's sorta grown on me, I think I might give him a little top hat and cape and make him some kind of magician type thinking
Also, he's up for trade if anyone is interested feel free to

Thanks! I don't celebrate Easter, but thanks anyways! I didn't even realize I'd posted it just in time for Easter, haha

I am very curious as to how you removed the fabric paint without ruining the whole thing! Lol!

Sorry this reply is so late! I actually mixed rubbing alcohol and hand sanitizer in a VERY tiny little bowl and then used a cotton swab to dab at the paint. It takes a while but the results were definitely worth it

Yeah! This was my first time trying it as well I had to burn the edges so they wouldn't fray, so for efficiency's sake, I'll definitely be picking a non fray fabric next time instead of having to go through all the hassle of melting the edges

Could you have perhaps used a clear nail varnish to seal those edges? Since it works somewhat for tights when they run and such, haha!

I never thought of using nail polish!!! That's a genius sounding idea! I've used nail polish for sealing clay, I never thought to use it for essentially "sealing" fabric!
I will go try that out! I just burnt it because I've melted polyester fabric before to make flower petals for clips so I knew it would work.

Oh my word. He is sooooo cute. I want to huggle him a whole bunch. One of the few times I regret not having the attention span for crocheting. Well done.

Awweh thanks!! I don't really have much of an attention span either lol, that's why I lost interest in him for three months before finally finishing him

You are welcome. I get bored halfway through, then I realize I wasn't paying attention, and by then, it's too late. This was me trying to make a pony. [link] Somehow, it got turned into a bear....

Hahahaha, that's awesome!!!! Don't worry I have a few of those tooo!! They are hidden away at the bottom of my supply pile though. . . multilegged creatures that don't have any semblance to known animals I eventually go back and remake them into something else or declare them a lost cause and take em apart

they probably resemble some creature, just not what you were aiming for. I gave the pony bear to me mum and she seems to enjoy it's presence. I either need to get more practice or find somebody on etsy.com who isn't egotistically insane.

haha, I'm not so sure, I have a 5 legged .. . sackboy looking thing lying in a plastic bag that was initially suPPosED to be a cat haha.
Yeah. . .people who sell their amigurumis don't usually sell them cheap, I'm assuming it's because of all the time put into each piece, like if I were to pay myself minimum wage (7$) for the this bunny I'd be paid roughly 45$, which is why I don't sell my pieces.

Yay mutant Sackboy?
I am talking about people selling free to use(I checked on some) patterns from craft sites for ten bucks a pop, or worse barely recognizable ponies for thirty dollars or more.
Amiguris I look at them and see yes, lot of work went into them. But just standard here is a pony that is just the colors of them, pay me forty bucks for it, that is where I get annoyed.
The bunny here looks like a professionally made critter that could sell for that if a random accessory was popped onto him.

Oh, I definitely understand that! Yeah, I really dislike it when people crochet stuffed animals from free patterns that say NOT to redistribute for profit and then charge of them or also charging a ridiculous amount for a free pattern
Awweh thanks again! I wouldn't be able to ask someone to pay that much for a stuffed animal though, I'm okay to an extent with trading! Maybe, eventually, I'll open up a store after I've gotten faster and better at crocheting so I won't have to charge as much

I'll keep an eye out then. It's a lot more work than needed to find somebody that does good work at a good price. I'm not asking for much, just somebody who can make cute critters at reasonable prices. that's it.
