Patterns and Tips
This past week was a great one in my book. I have already gotten many orders, and I already finished my first one! This was Bernie Sanders during Joe Biden’s inauguration, which I thought was a wonderful request.
Thank you very much for reading this, and if you want to order your own, look at my article, Amiguru(me)s
Hello! Recently I have gotten into amigurumes, or amigurumis that look like people. So far I have done Bob Ross, but I am willing to do anyone as long as you have a viable picture of their visage.
As far as pricing goes, I have narrowed it down to about three categories:
Large (16″): $30 (Comes with 2 Accessories) If you want anymore accessories after that they are $2
Medium (I haven’t been able to determine the size yet because when I tested them, they came out at many different sizes, but I will update this when I get an average): $25 (Same rules for accessories as Large)
Small (Same sizing predicament as before): $20 (Same Accessory rules)
For the accessories, I will do anything you want that you think would go well with your amiguru(me), preferably something small. Some examples for accessories might be: sunglasses, umbrella, fedora.
To order a customized amiguru(me), email with a photo, size, and 2 or more accessories. More steps will be provided from that point.
This was inspired by the book Amigurume by Allison Hoffman: https://www.amazon.com/AmiguruME-Make-Cute-Crochet-People/dp/1454703970.
Thank you very much, and happy crocheting!
This scarf uses the shell stitch, which will be rewritten in the pattern so that it doesn’t just say: Shell Stitch in next 8 sts. No. It’s going to be written as *dc 5 in same st, skp 2, sc 1, sc 2* around. Just letting you know. This scarf is a very textured one. It took me a lot longer than the other ones, probably because I was using a smaller hook, but anyway, lets get on into it.
Note: If you were to resize the yarn (width-wise) you would have to, for your foundation, you would have to chain a multiple of six plus one (e.g. 36+1 – 37. 42+1 – 43.)

The Pattern:
In color A
fd – ch 37
rw1 – dc 3 in fourth chain from the hook, *skp 2, sc 1, skp 2, dc 5 in same st* rpt around
Note: At the end of every row, you will end on a single crochet. Do NOT do another five double crochet.
rws2-10 – rpt rw1
change to color B
rws 11-20 – rpt rw1
change to color C
repeat in this fashion until you have 200 rows.
This is a thin scarf that is designed to be wrapped around, for it is very long, to give the impression that it is thicker. It gives off that kind of vibe. It is relatively easy to make and with a larger hook, should only take you about an hour and a half. The frills in this scarf are created by swapping a color for the same color.

Ever notice how annoying those little bits of string that hang off of your creations are? Well, darning needles are here to help. by just sticking your yarn through a hole in a darning needle, you can weave in your ends. Watch the video to really learn how:
This scarf is designed so that it can be worn with either side showing. There are ripples on either side and that is what makes this possible. Anyway, I would recommend this pattern from someone who has the basics down, and wants to travel a little out of their comfort zone. For a portion of this pattern, you will need to work in the back loops of stitches. This is pretty self-explanatory and you shouldn’t really need any help for this, but if you do, look at the video at the end. Anyway, let’s get on into it.
Note: This pattern is worked in rows not rounds.
