Squirtle is my most recently added to my store ami 😂 It's been a while since I had physical items available in my shop becuase I ran out of the time to make them. I feel I've got a better handle on my time now though so I've added them back in! If you've ever wanted to pick up one of my Pokemon dolls, now's your chance 😊 The link to my shop is in my bio!

I’m a sucker for anything pastel, which is proba I’m a sucker for anything pastel, which is probably what drew me to the style of Bee and Puppycat when I first saw it a few years ago! Puppycat is SO CUTE, especially with his angry little face and his lil pastel ears and collar, perfect for today’s AmiguruMay prompt. The pattern for Puppycat is available free on my blog! #amigurumay #amigurumay2022 #amigurumi #crochet #puppycat #beeandpuppycat #freecrochetpatteen #freepattern #pastel
Todays AmiguruMay prompt is about yarn and tools. Todays AmiguruMay prompt is about yarn and tools. My go to yarn for the past few years has been whatever bright and colourful 8ply yarn I could get my hands on - usually an acrylic, since that’s the easiest to find in the bright range of colours my dolls use. The one’s pictured here are the@hobbii_yarn Amigo range! Recently I’ve really been loving the look of cotton yarn - it always photographs so neat and smooth. I also like the idea of a natural fibre yarn like cotton over a plastic based product, so I’ve just had a delivery of cotton yarn too (see me making a swatch in my stories). The struggles of waiting on delivery times to Australia are real. If anyone knows of similar local brands please let me know! As for tools, I almost exclusively use a 3mm crochet hook made of aluminium. I admit I’ve never strayed far from the first lot I got haha. At that size they didn’t come with ergonomic handles, so I make my own with polymer clay to make it easier on my hands! I’ve got some more of these in the works at the moment so I can add them to my store soon 😃 #amigurumay #yarn #crochet #amigurumi #amigurumay2022 #ganchillo #jolteon #pokemon

Hello! My name is Clare and I’m the face behind Hello! My name is Clare and I’m the face behind 53stitches. It’s not very often I actually post pictures of myself instead of crochet, but today’s AmiguruMAY challenge is to introduce yourself, and it’s time I said hi to a lot of the newbies around here, so hello 👋🏻 I picked up crochet in 2013/2014 and fell in love with amigurumi almost instantly. I started creating my own designs pretty quickly, and that eventually evolved into making patterns and tutorials to share that work - which you see here ✨ I took a bit of a leap at the start of the year and quit my 9-5 to see if I could turn this into a gig to pay the bills 😬🤩 Jury’s still out but I’m glad to be on this journey with all of you! #amigurumi #amigurumay #amigurumay2022 #meetthemaker #crochet

When I was a kid ghost type Pokemon weren’t my favourite (traumatised by that hectic episode from the anime when Ash just dies?? from a falling chandelier and hangs out with the ghosts?? rewatching kids shows as an adult is wild). Anyway, I’ve recovered from that now and Gengar in particular is a bit of a cutie perfect for amigurumi so I figured I’d start there 😂 Are there any of your favourite kids shows that have been ruined or changed by an adult perspective? I feel like there are so many good examples haha #amigurumay #amigurumi #amigurumay2022 #crochet #pokemon #wip #gengar #anime

    About Me

    I started 53stitches in 2014 after being inspired by some amazing (I now realise) knitted dolls. I made my first little crocheted monkey doll a couple of weeks later, and then I was hooked for good. This blog is a chance to give back to the wonderful community that provided so many free patterns and tutorials when I was starting out.

    I'm able to keep this blog free thanks to your continued support, please consider buying me a coffee!
