Finish off, leaving a long tail to sew the wings togheter.

For the legs I made 22 ch with black yarn, then insert the chain in the bottom of the body. Same thing for the arms but with only 18 ch. For the hand and the foot I used 8 little pieces of yellow felt and sew them at the end of the chain.

To make the antennas I used a black scubidù and I putted two little balls of yellow yarn at the top.

Sew the mouth and insert the eyes. Sew the wings together and then to the body. Attach the body to the head...
You've finished, enjoy you're buzzing bee!

Day of the tentacle 2

Ho fatto anche il tentacolo viola!
Il filato non è lo stesso, è un Filo di Scozia, più duro dal cotone che ho usato per il tentacolo verde. Ho lavorato con un uncinetto da 2,5 mm.

I made the purple tentacle!
The yarn isn the same, it's a Filo di Scozia, quite tighter then the cotton I used for the green tentacle. I worked with a 2,5 mm hook.



Ho seguito lo stesso schema del tentacolo verde ma, una volta ottenuti tutti i pezzi, ho notato che il corpo era troppo piccolo, quindi ho dovuto aggiungere qualche giro. Inoltre ho fatto le braccia e il monociglio.



I followed the same pattern I used for the green tentacle but, once crocheted all the pieces, I noticed the body was too small, so I had to add some rounds. I made also the unibrow and the arms.



Pattern:

Body
Arrive to round 21 of the green tentacle body
22- 12 sc, inc, 12 sc, inc (28 sc)
23- sc in each sc around (28 sc)
24- 13 sc, inc, 13 sc, inc (30 sc)
25 and 26- sc in each sc around (30 sc)

Base, suckers
The same as for the green tentacle

Arm (make two)

1- 6 sc in a Magic ring
2- 2 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc (8 sc)
3- to 6- sc in each sc around (8 sc)
Finish off

Sew the arms to the body, the height must be beetween the small and the medium sucker, the left arm must point upwards.
Sew a black unibrow just upside the small sucker.

Finish the tentacle just like the green one.

Here's your purple tentacle!

Day of the tentacle

"Day of the tentacle" è stato uno dei primi e più bei videogiochi a cui ho giocato. Vedendo questa foto su flickr, ho pensato che sarebbe stato carino e semplice fare un tentacolo amigurumi.
Di sicuro qualcun'altro prima di me ha avuto questa idea, ma lo schema non l'ho copiato da nessuno, è originale. Per ora ho fatto il tentacolo verde, quando andrò a comprare il cotone adatto farò pure quello viola.

"Day of the tentacle" is one of my favourite videogames and maybe the first I played. Seeing this photo on flickr, I thought it would have been nice and simple to make an amigurumi tentacle.
Surely someone else has had this idea earlier than me, but this pattern is not copied, it's original. Until now I only made the green tentacle,but when I buy the right cotton, I'll make the purple tentacle too.

Here's the pattern:

Sew the suckers to the body.



Stuff the body and sew the base together with the body.



Enjoy your plushie green tentacle!

Vi volevo far vedere la versione di miciodani del mio portachiavi. Mi sembra molto carino, specialmente il cappellino bicolore, e mi ha fatto molto piacere che lei abbia provato a fare il mio schema :-)

Just wanted to make you see miciodani's version of my keychain. I think it's very nice, especially the two-tone cap, and I've been very glad she tried my pattern :-)

Baby Chtulhu

Ecco l'ultimo arrivato: Baby Chtulhu! Fa un po' il prepotente con gli altri amigurumi...

Here's the pattern, I modified it a little to make him the legs too.



Ecco il pattern modificato:
Here's the modified pattern:


Special Stitches

In the pattern I’m going to call the Cthulhu’s tentacles a coil. When you see coil, do this:

coil: chain 9, 3 sc in third chain space from hook, 3 sc in each of next six spaces.

If you find the chain spaces too small to work 3 single crochets in, try making the chain with a hook that’s one size larger.

RND 12: sc in each st around (42 stitches) Note: If you have less than 42 that’s okay because we’re about to start decreasing, if you have more than 42 go back and try to fix the problem.

Walkman hoodie/ Felpa per il walkman

Durante un noioso pomeriggio piovoso ho realizzato questa simpatica felpa per il mio walkman. Ho preso ispirazione da questo pattern che è per l'uncinetto tunisino. In pratica io l'ho tradotto in un pattern per uncinetto tradizionale e ho aggiunto qualche piccolo particolare.

During a boring rainy sunday I created this funny hoodie for my walkman. I took my inspirsation from this pattern which is for tunisian crochet. I translated in into a traditional crochet pattern, making few changes.

Crochet hook 5 mm
Pattern

Body:
13 ch turn
Starting from third stitch from hook, 11 hdc,2 ch turn
11 hdc, 2 ch turn (11 times)

Begin working the left neck side
3 hdc, 2ch, turn
1 hdc, inc, 1 hdc, 2 ch, turn
2 hdc, inc, 1 hdc, 2 ch, turn
2 hdc, inc, 2 hdc.
Tie off yarn.

Attach the yarn to the right side and work the same pattern you used for the left side:
3 hdc, 2ch, turn
1 hdc, inc, 1 hdc, 2 ch, turn
2 hdc, inc, 1 hdc, 2 ch, turn
2 hdc, inc, 2 hdc, 2 ch, turn
Work hdc across the right side and then continue through the left one (12 sc), 2ch, turn

11 hdc, 2ch, turn (8 times)
Tie off yarn.

Hoodie:
ch 18
hdc in second ch from hook and till the last ch, ch 2, turn
hdc in each sc, ch 2, ch 2, turn (5 times)
7 hdc, dec, 7 hdc, ch 2, turn
6 hdc, dec, 7 hdc
Tie off.

Pocket:
ch 9
sc in second sc from hook and till the last sc, 1 ch, turn
sc in each sc, 1 ch, turn
dec, 4 sc, dec, 1 ch, turn
dec, 2 sc, dec
Tie off.

Now you should have these three pieces:


To make the hoodie, fold the rectangle in two, sew one side together and then sew the other side to the neck opening.



Sew the pocket to the body and then close all the sides of the body leaving some holes for the headphones and the usb cable.



Add the final decorations. I sewed the sentence "let the music play" and a little symbol with white yarn. Then I added two little laces near the hoodie.

Keychain/ portachiavi

Ho fatto un'altro pupazzetto portachiavi per una signora che me lo aveva chiesto. Quello rosa e bianco è il nuovo arrivato, già ripartito. Il pattern è sempre lo stesso che avevo usato per i suoi fratellini.

I made another keychain for a friend. She liked it very much. The new born is the one white and pink, she's already gone away! The pattern is the same I used for her brothers.

Crocheted Top... finished

Finito!
È un po' diverso dall'originale. Credo di aver esagerato con la misura quindi legandolo dietro e sovrapponendo un po' i due lembi mi sta meglio. Ho usato cotono ritorto viola scuro e uncinetto 3,5.

It's a bit different from the original. I think I made a size too big for me, so it fits me better if I tie it on the back overlapping the front tiles. I used violet cotton and a 3,5 crochet hook.

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)
7) sc in each st around (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)

Cappello-orso/ Crochet bear hat

Ho realizzato questo morbidissimo cappellino per il concorso di carnevale del sito Amigurumi word.
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.

Agnellino/ Lamb

Questo agnellino si chiama Pasqualino e l'ho fatto seguendo questo pattern.

This lamb is Pasqualino; I made it following this pattern.

ciocco & panna

Questi due gattini li ho realizzati per un contest organizzato da
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:

Turtle toy

Una bellissima e simpaticissima tartaruga di nome Ugo, fatta seguendo questo pattern.
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

Draghetto/ Dante baby dragon

Questo dolcissimo draghetto l'ho fatto seguendo questo pattern.

Per il corpo ho usato acrilico verde scuro e per i particolari acrilico arancione. Gli occhi sono fatti con due perline attaccate con la colla. Al collo è legato un campanellino. Il pattern non è complicatissimo ma ci sono alcuni passaggi un po' difficili.


I made this cute dragon following this pattern.

I used green and orange acrylic yarn. The eyes are made from two beads fixed with some glue.Thjere's a little bell dangling from his necklace. The pattern is not so difficult.

Medusa amigurumi/ Amigurumi jellyfish

Il mio primo amigurumi è stato una pallina riempita con la carta igienica ridotta in coriandoli. Purtroppo il mio gatto l'ha scovata e ci ha giocato fino a disintegrarla. La delusione è stata tanta che ho deciso di non riprovare più a fare palline ma cominciare con qualcosa di diverso.
Ecco il primo pupazzetto completato: una medusa.
Il pattern l'ho trovato qua
Ho usato lana misto acrilico rosa per il corpo e marrone per la chiusura sottostante. Ho fatto quattro tentacoli, due per ogni colore; gli occhi sono due bottoni di legno cuciti e la bocca è in lana marrone. Il pattern non è complicato, quindi lo consiglio anche a principianti.
