there after the latest listing of my mini cube house amigurumi pattern i decided to go back to coaster patterns actually i was planning to continue with an uncompleted pattern but after a few rounds of testing a new coaster idea pops up will be listing it in my etsy shop pretty soon and this has indirectly led me to having some ideas for simple and elegant coaster patterns i have been experimenting on different type of stitches like double crochet stitch dc half double crochet stitch hdc and extended single crochet stitch to get different textures for the base of the coasters if you are interested to know more you can find them at them in my etsy shop with detailed instructions and photos in this post i will be sharing a simple pattern using double crochet stitch as its base

like loading july 5 2021 my first teddy and definitely won t be my last by symplecrafts posted in our handcraft journal symplestuff in life leave a comment the name teddy actually comes from former united states president theodore roosevelt who was commonly known as teddy when he refused to shoot an exhausted and tied down black bear during a hunting trip in 1902 and instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery death is not the greatest loss in life the greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live norman cousins the incident soon became the topic of a political cartoon by clifford berryman in the washington post on november 16 1902 when morris michtom saw the drawing of roosevelt he was inspired to create a teddy bear after sending a bear to roosevelt and receiving permission to use his name the toys were an immediate success and michtom founded the ideal novelty and toy co even till this day teddy bears are among the most popular gifts for children and are often given to adults to signify love affection congratulations or sympathy perhaps every lovely soul who crochets would have a teddy bear project in his her to do list as for me it happens to be my first amigurumi project a little ambitious for an amigurumi noob back in 2015 who had one crochet hook a japanese crochet hook size 1 0 2 0 and some left over acrylic yarns huh well my guts told me to go ahead anyway and found myself a cute teddy bear tutorial on youtube their written pattern can be found here tada my first amigurumi teddy bear i know totally no resemblance to the ones shown in tutorial well like i mentioned earlier i only had one japanese crochet hook 1 0 2 0 and some left over acrylic yarns during that time so this cutie was stuffed with toilet paper not joking and the eyes were glass beads instead of safety eyes it was very discouraging when the outcome was not the same as the one shown in the tutorial nothing like a teddy lol so i stopped crocheting amigurumi for a while and went back to crocheting bags then in 2016 i decided to try again and started with something smaller a snail my second attempt in amigurumi we will get there well at least this one looked like a snail huh i think there is nothing wrong with being ambitious but when it comes to crafting unless you are one of the super talented ones it is better to take small simple steps during the early stage great things are not done by impulse but by a series of small things brought together vincent van gogh my third amigurumi a pig piglet shades of pink after completing my third amigurumi i started my journey in bringing a series of small things together there were ups and downs along the way with many mental debates on whether i should change my path to crocheting instead eventually i started my esty shop in 2018 and have received unconditional supports from my family and friends i am very thankful to be still hanging on at this moment just a few days ago after updating my shop and wondering what i should do next something came up and i decided to crochet that teddy bear again using the same crochet hook and a similar yarn but this time i ve had all the materials needed same pattern but different outcomes from this experiment i realized that in the world of amigurumi the skill that we ve acquired is not really only about crocheting but how we sculpt all our crocheted components i have to admit that assembling the components is still the most intimidating part for me but ironically it is the very same thing that we need to master well in order to give life to all these cuties sometimes you have to do what you don t like to get to where you want to be tori amos thank you for reading this post and have a wonderful day ahead do stay safe healthy and happy till then cheers ttfn share this share share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on pinterest opens in new window pinterest share on tumblr opens in new window

round 17 legs division in round 17 we will be dividing the body into two portions since there are 30 stitches for the body and if you flatten the workpiece you should have 15 stitches on each side front and back excluding the 6 stitches for the center portion each leg will have a circle of 12 stitches with that in mind let s continue with the instruction round 17 step 1 8 sc ch 1 1 slst blo the

into the stitches instead of working with the flo blo i am using this method because it would be easier to crochet the legs as the stitches for the legs close to the center would not get tucked in by the slip stitches first leg do not stuff the body yet but continue to crochet the first leg which is the 12 stitch circle with the stitch marker and we will reset the round number for the legs round 1 4 12 sc the leg is not completed yet at this point insert a stitch marker to secure the last loop see photo below either using the other end tail of the yarn ball or another new ball of yarn we will continue with the second leg second leg you can start your first stitch at any stitch but i prefer to insert my hook into the stitch under the first stitch of second leg see photo below round 1 ch 1 1

and close off by picking the outer loops with the needle then tighten the yarn to close the gap tug the bottom in to flatten the sole when you weave in the tail there might be a small gap between the slip stitch and the first round of the legs especially the second one it is okay just make a few simple sewing stitches see photo to close it off during the weave in of the legs face mask using white
