AMIGURUMI

Back in December I taught myself how to crochet so I could make amigurumi dolls for friends as Christmas presents. The first thing I learned was how to make a chao from Sonic Adventure. My fiance got me a pattern and I picked up from that. I got a good amount of compliments and made five for my friends before starting my own Etsy shop selling nothing but crochet chao dolls. The first one bought was by a guy that requested a custom made dark flying chao. I had to figure out how to make it by trial and error, which was actually a lot of fun.

I guess I did good since the tip he gave me was waaay more than generous! He gave it to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day.

I made another one in case the first didn't meet his expectations. I put it in my shop and I think that's how I got so many views. A couple people approached me for a pattern but I'm not sure if I should make one or not since I still consider myself a newb and would hate it if I worded things wrong or made it difficult to follow.

I made other things like slimes from MapleStory and Dragon Quest (Irene Flores bought my first one for her friend's video game themed wedding!), Kirby, and Boo.

About a week ago I taught myself how to make my own patterns. I made a moogle based from FF6/FF9 designs since most are similar to FF10. Other than chao dolls they are becoming more popular. c:

I'm thinking about becoming more pro with the shop, making my own creatures, and try making more iconic amigurumi dolls~

Anyway! You can find my shop here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/STiRsItemShop

Here are a few. I'm also thinking about redesigning the chao dolls to make the proportions cuter.
