I have been crocheting an elephant for the Animating Accy project this week and it's almost finished. I have decided to let Caroline from Huckleberry Films (the creators of Animating Accy) decide on what eyes it should have and tomorrow we will visit Duckworth's Wool Shop in Accrington to buy the finishing touches. I'll post some more pictures up over the weekend once the Elephant is all finished, but until then this is how it was made...
7 different pieces are made with aran yarn and a size 4mm hook...
All the pieces then get sewed into position ...
And here he is....
The nice thing about the Japanese crochet art 'Amigurumi' is that most of the pattern is made up of separate parts that are made from different sized crochet balls, keeping the patterns nice and simple to create whilst giving a really cute and 'cartoony' appearance.
I think I'll be making some more in the future... here are a few examples of other Amigurumi animals...
