Thankyou so much for these fabulous. Patterns. I really struggle with following patterns, But these are brilliant 🙂 🙂 🙂
soooooooooo cute
Buenas tardes. No comprendo las instrucciones para tejer las hojas…me podrían ayudar.?
Do you have any Monkey patterns that are between 14 and 16 inches tall? I would like pictures of them if you do. I love the ones you have but they are just to small. Thanks,
Nancy
Hi Nancy 🙂 The toy size depends on yarn weight and hook size.
Thank you for sharing the pattern of this beautiful creation of yours. I had so much fun making it and I am looking forward to making more of your animals
Thank you! 🙂
Sou de Joaçaba, Santa Catarina. Amei seus animais africanos. Estou fazendo todos. Só falta o panda e o elefante. Ficaram lindos. Não tenho vontade de vende-los. Doar talvez.
Muito obrigada por nos doar a receita. Deus lhe pague. 😇😘
Muito obrigada! 🌹💖

So adorable and easy to follow the step by step for this pattern, thankyouu amigurumi today ❤😍
😍😍😍😍😍
Projeto perfeito. Apaixonada 😍😍😍. Obrigada por compartilhar.
I love your Cuddle Me patterns. After the sheep, I finished the monkey. I don’t know which one is cuter, they’re so gorgeous!
Thank you for kind words, Nat! 🌹💕
Are these in American crochet or English crochet vocabulary? A single crochet in a previous US pattern was actually an English Double crochet! Or was that a one off in my past? It meant the whole pattern was out!!
These are US crochet terms 🙂
10 cm for the hair? 5 cm finished length?
The length of hair depends on your yarn weight and finished toy size 🙂 The length specified in the pattern is for Yarnart Jeans yarn.
I love these deigns and they are pretty easy. Thank you!
But isn’t 12 stitches too wide for the tail?
I am so happy with your patterns they are easy to read and make, they are perfect for a little kid in a strange place. While Mom gets a hat and scarf the child will get something to snuggle with. It is a perfect charity…thank you so much for all you do
