Isn't he precious? I named him Koko because my hubby's Uncle and Aunt have a dog named Cocoa and it's SO cute when Junebug says it out loud--I wouldn't mind hearing her say Koko all day long (it's better than her usual word, "NO"!). I found him on Craft Passion, though the actual pattern comes from Woman's Day. Craft Passion offers may great tips for making the little guy successfully.
If you're a crocheter and have been scared of amigurumi (like I admittedly have been) then it's high time you try it. If I can figure it out, you can too.
I gave the koala to Junebug first thing this morning. She's obviously very appreciative.
P.S. I found a blog that posts daily with free Amigurumi patterns--it's a great place to browse if you're interested in exploring the craft. The site is aptly named Free Amigurumi Crochet Patterns.
Very cute! I just finished a giraffe for a baby gift for someone at church. Thanks for the blog of free patterns. Like I need more ideas-I can't seem to finish what I have now.:)

Cute Kaola :) It doesn't look like your first trial and it looks perfect to me though you said the head is a little misaligned. Yeah, no biggie!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Craft Passion!! It's so cute!!! Well Done:-)
ReplyDeleteI've made this little guy before, too! I love yours--so precious. My favorite part about this koala is how dang butt ugly the version on the pattern itself is . . . makes you feel so superior when yours comes out cuter than the original, doesn't it? ;-)
