Portachiavi/ Them keychains
Queste piccole creaturine innominate (le ho chiamate tutte Him, plurale Them) sono molto semplici e veloci da fare e mi mettono molta allegria. Se usate un filato abbastanza fino (io ne ho usato uno adatto per l'uncinetto 2,5) potete montare dei simpatici portachiavi. Fino ad ora ne ho fatti 4, ognuno con delle piccole modifiche rispetto al precedente riguardo la lughezza delle braccia, delle gambe, la dimensione della testa...
Lo schema che posto è quello per l'ultimo Him, che è quello che a me piace di più. Se volete provarli, vi consiglio di fare anche voi piccole modifiche, per trovare il pattern che vi soddisfa maggiormente.
These tiny creatures witouh a name (I called them Him, when they're all togheter Them) are very simple and fast to create; they make me happy! If you use a small yarn (I used a cotton suitable for a 2,5 mm hook) you can create funny keychains.
So far I made 4 Him, each one has little variations from the previous. For example I changed The lenght of arms, body, and legs, the head's size...
The pattern I'll post is the one for the last Him on the right. If you make one of them, it would be fun you'd do some variations to find your perfect pattern for a Him.
Legs:
1) 5 sc with a MR
2) 2 sc in each st (10)
3-5) sc in each st around (10)
join with slip stitch, finish off leaving a long tail for sewing the legs together.
Make the second leg, don't finish it off. Whip stitch the two legs together using your yarn needle through 4 stitches. Your working loop should be on the outside of the circle and not stitched through. close off the yarn. you should have an eight-like shape of 16 st. Continue working the body.
Body:
1) 7 sc, 1 inc, 7 sc, 1 inc. (18)
2-5) sc in each st around (18)
6) *1 sc, 1 dec* 6 times (12)

8) *1 sc, 1 inc* 6 times (18)
9) *2 sc, 1 inc* 6 times (24)
10) *3 sc, 1 inc* 6 times (30)
11-13) 1 sc in each st around (30) (I inserted eyes between rounds 11 and 12)
14) *3 sc, 1 dec* 6 times (24)
15) *2 sc, 1 dec* 6 times (18)
16) *1 sc, 1 dec* 6 times (12)
17) 6 dec (6)
Finish off.
Arm(make 2):
1) 6 sc in MR
2-4) sc in each st around (6)
Finish off leaving a yarn tail to sew arms to he body

5) *3 sc, 1 inc* 6 times (30)
6) 1 sc in each st around (30)
7-8) 1 dc in each st around (30)
Join with sl st, finish off
Scarf:
Chain approximately 35 (it depends on how long you want it)

Cappello-orso/ Crochet bear hat
Il pattern che avrei dovuto seguire è quello per fare questo Panda Bear hat. Ho fatto un po' di modifiche quindi posto il pattern che ho usato. Per la base io ho usato un filato abbastanza grosso e un'uncinettto 5 mm,se usate un uncinetto più piccolo fate uno o due giri di aumenti in più. Per i pom pom e l'interno delle orecchie ho usato un filato più fine e un uncinetto da 3,5 mm.
I made this soft and warm hat for the Carnival contest of the site Amigurumi word.
I' should have followed this pattern: Panda Bear hat. I made some changes so I'll post my pattern. For the body of the hat I used a thick yarn and a 5 mm hook, if you use a smaller hook you should add 1 or 2 round of increse. for the pom pom e and the inner ears I used a smaller yarn and a 3,5 mm hook.
BEARY HAT

Make 4sc in a magic ring

ciocco & panna
http://amigurumiworld.forumcommunity.net/ per San Valentino. Sono fatti seguendo questo pattern ma apportando alcune modifiche per fare i gattini invece dell'orso. Per fare la coda ho avviato un magic ring di 7 sc e poi ho continuato a fare sc finché non era della lunghezza desiderata. In mano tengono due tazze di cioccolata calda.
This Kittens were made for the contest organized by http://amigurumiworld.forumcommunity.net/ for S. Valentine day. I made them following this pattern with some changes to make the cats instead of the bear. For the tail I made a magic ring of 7 sc and then I went on doing sc until the tail was long enough. They're holding two hot chocolate cups.
Le orecchie sono fatte così:
This is the pattern for the ears:
1-magic ring 4sc
2-sc, inc ,sc ,inc (6sc)
3-2sc, inc, 2sc, inc (8sc)
4-3sc, inc, 3sc, inc (10sc)
Finish off
Ponyo
I totally love Miyazaki's film, so I decided to make a little Ponyo amigurumi... she's adorable! Here's the result: I used acrylic yarn, the eyes are made with white felt and black beads.
Per fare i capelli ho attaccato tanti fili arancioni e, per dare un effetto più realistico, li ho pettinati.
For the hair I used orange yarn and then, to make a more relistic effect, I brushed it.

Flower fairy- Fatina
I realized this flower fairy taking inspiration from various patterns.. The body is similar to the one of prima bambolina. The hood is the same size of the head with a trim made with 3 dc in each sc. The petals are similar to Planet June's poinsettia.

Turtle toy
La cosa che mi piace di più è che il gilet che forma il guscio si può togliere lasciandola nuda :). Anche se nel sito dice che il pattern è facile, secondo me è abbastanza difficile: in totale è composto 16 pezzi (9 di guscio + 7 di corpo) e ci sono molti cambi di colore nelle placche del guscio.
Here's Ugo, a beautiful and funny turtle made following this pattern.
I like very much the fact that his gilet can be taken off leaving him naked :).
In the site the pattern is considered easy but I don't agree, actually I think it's quite difficult: it's made of 16 pieces (9 for the shell + 7 for the body) and there are many changing of colours for the shell tiles
