My first Amigurumi Bear




Iam sick, suffering from a strange flu in July, since Friday so I stayed at home and only went out once on Friday to have some lunch I wanted to drink hot soup and bcoz of my flu wasnt able to cook. We had our lunch , my husband and I , then we stayed for a couple of hours to relax.We then went home and I took my medicine and went to sleep , hoping that the next day I will be ok. Then saturday came and its getting worse, so I started thinking outside the box to entertain me at home, it seems I wil be stuck here more :) I was looking forward to crochet my first amigurumi since my last post was abut Japan and this is a well know Japanese art.


I googled and found this, didnt follow the pattern , made it a little shorter. Let me share it and share my edited pattern.


My Editted Pattern:
1-Made Front and Back the same colour.
2-Chained 25 and folded it, making the front and back.
3-The length of the body instead of 12 cm made it 8 cm.
I couldnt find any buttons for the eyes ,mouth or nose so this is wht I did:
  • Eyes: Chain 4, sc in first stitch from the hook, then sc 6 in this same first stitch then close, u will get a small circle which I used for the eyes.
  • Mouth: Chained 4 then fasten it off and fix to be the mouth.
  • Nose:Made one stitch for this.

    The Original Pattern can be viewed as below :

Lesson#5:Crochet is such a blessing, it makes my sickness and stay at home, extremely fun.

A Big Thank you to my friend ...

Let me first tell you about my friend Yasmine.

We used to live in the same building long time ago in Kuwait,but after this
she left to Scotland and we used to write to each other.

Havent seen her in years or even talked but thanks to Facebook ,I was
able to find her again and so getting to know her blog, which was inspiring to me to learn many home related activities and one of them was learning to crochet.

I went to a crochet course for 2 times 2 hours per time and I was on the crochet way ,used youtube nevertheless www.choclatemintsinajar.com.

To you Yasmine..this is my first crochet-wool scarf for a baby.

P.S. Excuse my photography ;)
