I am challenging myself with micro amigurumi and I have chose to use Mr. Murasaki, the sleepy owl amigurumi pattern to test on. I am glad that I am still able to do this little tiny cutie at my age 🙂 How tiny this little owl charm amigurumi is? It is about 1″ tall.
I have been wanting to try on crocheting this teeny tiny amigurumi when I saw some of them in Pinterest. Glad that I managed to do it and still able to crochet them with my kind of age. Hyperopia (far-sightedness) hit me eventually and I need to borrow my husband reading glasses to do it. It is time to visit an optometrist to get mine prescribe soon….. I just wish that I don’t look old with it, I think a rimless with red arms should look good on me.
Reading glasses aside and back to this little owl charm amigurumi, I am using lace thread #40 and hook size of 0.7mm to make this little owl charm amigurumi. Once you have some experienced with micro amigurumi, you may advance to a more tiny one by sewing thread and size 0.4mm hook. I think I would need a magnifier to do so. It may seems difficult but it is possible, just that you will need more practices as holding the tiny bit while crochet is not easy. A good eye-sight is a must as you will need to see where to insert your hook and needle to crochet and sew.
Let’s amigurumi along and progress to the tinier one soon!!!
Do you have utube type video so I can watch how this is done online??
Sorry, I don’t have youtube video for this, but you can refer to other youtube video for other similar amigurumi tutorial. Happy amigurumi 🙂
I am having a lot of trouble understanding your instructions for the Amigurumi owl when you say inc sc 2, then inc sc 3 I am confused !
inc means increment stitch i.e. 2sc in a stitch. sc 2 means sc each in the next 2 stitches. When it says “inc, sc2”, it means: 2sc in next stitch, sc in next 2 stitches. It is a common written format for amigurumi. Hope this explanation is helpful.
What does the abbrev inc, inv mean in the unstructions
As written above, Inc is “Increment” and Inv is “Invisible”, hope this is clear 🙂
Would you sell one?
I don’t sell but I would encourage you to try it out 🙂
