Making Stuff: A Long-Legged Friend {crochet project}

by This is Carrie on November 19, 2012

Before now, I’ve ventured into the world of crochet amigurumi only twice in the 20 years I’ve known how to crochet (1, 2). Enter Long-Legged Friends. The long legged animals and Japanese sensibility make this book irresistible. Amigurumi #3 was inevitable.

Pattern: Fluffy Poodle from Long-Legged Friends Book

Yarn: Lion Brand Yarn Silky Twist in Olive (with it’s great texture, this yarn really made the animal)

Erin Marie November 20, 2012 at 9:19 pm: That is fabulous. I saw the picture and had to know what yarn that was. It definitely makes the animal.

Susan May 14, 2013 at 6:41 am: Hi I so much want to make these guys, but some of the patterns seem wrong, if you know some thing I don’t could you please explain
