Angelica the Amigurumi Mouse

Let me introduce you to my latest crochet project that was in Issue 37 of Crochet Now magazine.    This is Angelica and she loves to dress up for a winter walk into town in her cute dress, beret, cowl and muff.

 



Angelica is 21cm tall and has a curly pink tail.

Angelica was crochet with Scheepjes Stone Washed (1 ball each in Moon Stone 801 (A), Rose Quartz 820 (B) Lilac Quartz 818 (C) and Larimar 828 (D).

A = body
B = hands, feet and inner ears
C = dress
D = beret, cowl and muff

This cute little amigurumi mouse has been designed by Heather Gibbs and you can visit her website "Keep Calm and Crochet on" here. 

Upps I did it again!

When I first decided to make this cardigan I wanted to make it with blocks of colour.  When the wool arrived I wasn't sure I had made the right choices so I didn't bother.  Instead, I just used three colours as you saw in the earlier sample I posted, saving the other yarn for another project.  

This gorgeous mustard was one the original colours chosen so out came the hook.  Just three weeks later another crochet cardigan was born, and just in time for the New Year!

Here are a few other shots I took.

See how I added some crochet straps to help keep it on the hanger.

Here is the another one that shows how the sleeve fits into the bodice.  I crocheted from the wrist upwards and have a tried and tested formulae to make the sleeve fit for me.
