Olaf (Frozen) Amiguimi

So i was thinking what else could i make for my other niece for xmas and i thought since i didn so well with the pony blanket that maybe i could find a picture and do an Olaf blanket as his niece loves Frozen. I was looking around and couldnt find a good picture to use as i template. So i started to look at what else i could find on the net. Then i came across this amazing thing called AMIGUIMI. This was making somewhat dolls of crochet and i feel in love and thought first i have to find out if there is an Olaf pattern i can do before finding something to make for myself.

I then found this great youtube video, that came with a facebook page and there own website called YarnWars. They had a full tutorial and pattern for free on how to make Olaf! I was set all i had to do was find the right material and get started.

So i started with making the feet for Olaf and played with the descrease as there is a invisible and non invisble and i used each techniquie on each foot and realise that from now on i will be using the invisible descrease as it was so much better and really was invisible.

Then i started on the body and took a picture half way through, i was excited and had to rememeber to stop and take picture to show my progress

i placed the feet to see what it would look like, there were meant to be under the body but i thought about making him be seated.

Once i had completed to body i then started to nose, this was the worse and most difficult part of all!

i then attached to feet and found a googly eye to see what it would look like.

Then i had to wait till payday again to get some brown yarn to make his arms and hair. Then i used some black felt to make the buttons on this chest and made them look like buttons with the way i stitched them on, aswell as using the felt for his mouth. And this is the completed result.

I was so proud of my first complete amiguimi that while actually making him i found a Toothless"how to train your dragon" free pattern and thought i have to make this one!

Next blog will be showing him being made he was a lot more complicated then Olaf, but i still had a go and got him completed!
