Day 20 - Special Stitches! I had never crocheted with beads before so these were special stitches to me.

Day 9 - Make me smile. This friend really encouraged me to take up crochet and it has been so fun to visit her and crochet together! She will always make me smile. Love you @aa-han17.bsky.social !

Day 15 - Friends! Since I already shared a crochet friend I'm going a different route today. Here is a pair of friends (ha, ha see what I did there!) from early on in my #amigurumi life. My first #crochetbookclub book was the Woobles and they are from that.

Day 10 - In Motion! This is a mobius fidget toy that I crocheted and since it's video you can see it in motion. Would you call this amigurumi? I don't know, but it's definitely crochet! I haven't posted a video to Bluesky before so I hope this works.

Day 7 is something yellow & I've decided to share this cheerful hanging basket that I crocheted for myself. It's a plant that I cannot kill! lol

Day 16 - Scrap yarn! This is my bag 'o scraps. I mostly use them for details on amigurumi and for the center of granny squares.
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay #crochet
A large plastic bag with many different colors/types of yarn in it. It is my collection of small pieces that can still be used for specific purposes like embroidery details on amigurumi or to start a granny square.

We had Day 4 off. Back for #AmiguruMay2025 day 5 which is "Outdoor or inside." I've decided on a picture I took outside of a gnome I crocheted. I'm really proud of this because it was the first time I melded multiple patterns together to make something new! #crochet #gnomes #basketball #amiguruMay
Custom crochet gnome my mom requested as a gift for her friend.

Day 30 - Wrap it up! I don't really know what this prompt was meant for but it made me think of the Random Acts of Crochet Kindness I put together last June to hide for Pride Month.
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay #crochetpride #ally
Crochet items made with rainbow color stripes. Hearts, a popsicle, a loaf cat and a can coozie. Sandwich size zip locks on a table. Each has a "free gift" sticker on the outside and a small crochet item inside with a paper explaining Random Acts of Crochet Kindness (RAOCKs).

Day 12 - Sea or Mountain. One year my daughter had a school event themed Under the Sea and that inspired me to make these! It was really fun and I think they are too cute.
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay #underthesea #crochet
Crocheted crab with a red body and yellow belly and big eyes. His shell is light green and white and sitting next to him. It fits on with straps like a back pack. A crocheted seal stuck in the middle of an O shaped blow fish. The seal is gray with a pink nose and it's little pink tongue is sticking out. The blow fish is lime green on top and white on the bottom with big eyes and a little orange mouth.

For #AmiguruMay2025 day 2 the prompt is "my crochet place" and I don't have just one place! The strangest place I've brought my crochet so far is the lobby of a movie theater so I'm sharing that today. #crochet
There is a table with a movie theater soda cup next to a Milk Duds box. Closer to the camera is the start of a crochet piece with a red crochet hook and stitch marker.

Day 13 is Close up. This is the dress on a rag doll bunny I found a free pattern for on Ravelry! I've never looked at the stitches that closely before I don't think.
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay
Close up of some double crochet stitches in rows. The top is dark blue, middle is mustard and bottom is light blue.

Day 23 - Books! I have most of my patterns in pdf format so I can easily access them from the Pocket Crochet app but these 2 books are on my shelf. The magical creatures one is for #crochetbookclub2025 so by the end of the year I'll have made all the projects!
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay #crochet
Two crochet pattern books sitting on a table. The left one is 3D Granny Squares which has a variety of granny squares with different shapes like a rainbow, a lion & a sunshine on top of them. The right one is Crochet Magical Creatures which has a mushroom guy, a caticorn and a dragon on the cover.

Happy AmiguruMay! I saw this idea on another social media platform but this is where I post now so I'm using it here. :) There is a prompt for each day & we'll see how many I complete. #1 is Hello AmiguruMay and I'm sharing a picture of my very first amigurumi, Pierre the penguin.

#AmiguruMay2025
A small crocheted turquoise penguin. It has big black eyes, a yellow beak, two small arm fins and a white round belly patch.

Day 28 - Something Black! Fall of 2024 I went on a Halloween crochet kick thanks to a discord server host sharing daily patterns. This tiny crow was one I made and hid on my daughter's desk for her to find.
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay
A small crocheted black crow with gray beak and feet. It is wearing a olive green witches hat.

I can't decide between these 2 so here's a double dose of Day 14 - something white! The Togepi was a challenge but my teen loves it so that's what matters. For the cloud sprite I wish I had altered the scarf but what's done is done.
#amiguruMay2025 #amigurumay #crochet
A crochet version of the pokemon Togepi. It is egg shaped, has an off white top with 6 cone shaped spikes around the top of it. The middle/bottom is white with red and blue triangles scattered. The arms and legs are short and match the top of the head. A crochet cloud sprite. The head is oval shaped with 3 bumps to give a cloud-like appearance. The head, arms, body & legs are all pure white. It is wearing a rainbow colored scarf.

Day 6 - WIP! I started this in Jan and it will be a WIP all year because it's a #bookblanket. Each book I read gets a square made in colors similar to the cover. #amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay #grannysquare (and yes, I know this isn't amigurumi...I'm using all my crochet!)
These are all the stages of "in process" starting top left: * Squares joined to the blanket * a ziplock bag with colors for the next square * tidy squares ready to attach * squares made but loose ends remain to be sewn in

Day 3 of #AmiguruMay2025 suggests I introduce myself! My name is Nikki and I live in the Midwest of the US with my husband and daughter. I took up crochet in October 2023 when I needed something just for ME. I'm so thankful that I did because I was instantly hooked! (pun intended). #crochet
Me wearing a scarf I crocheted for myself. I love the texture so much!

Day 29 is Symmetry/Asymmetry. This tree was meant to be symmetrical but is anything hand made ever truly perfect? My mom requested a lighted tree last winter and I was really happy with the result!

Day 27 - Yarn stash! I keep my used yarn in drawers. I'm moving the whole skein collection to some shelves but that's in process so just the drawers for today!
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay
A drawer full of different shades/types of yarn in Red, Orange, Yellow, Green & Blue. All of these balls/skeins are partially used. A drawer full of different shades/types of yarn in Pink, Purple, White, Ivory, Brown & Black. All of these balls/skeins are partially used.

Prompt for the 8th...Good to know! I think it's good to know that stitch markers are your friend! Especially with blanket/plush yarn. The first time I worked with it I had one in each stitch for a while and it was absolutely worth the extra time it took to move them.
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay
Light blue blanket yarn crocheted into a flat circle with 12 stitches and one stitch marker in each. The red indicates the first stitch but all other colors are random grabs from the stash. A baby Bokoblin I crocheted for my daughter. It's a blue monster with a white horn on top of it's head, large pointy ears on either side of the head and a big pink snout. The arms have a band of light brown, the hands have 3 "fingers," the legs are straight and the feet have 2 toes. It is wearing a skull on a rope around it's neck and a light brown loin cloth.

Day 17 - Skill I learned. When I heard about a foundation chain I was SO excited. It is for flat crochet like a cape or a belly piece or a blanket and you get to create the chain at the same time as the first row! Jackpot! Here's an example: youtu.be/I9Og5cd2L0o?...

Day 21 - something red. I made a trio of holiday gnomes within months after starting crochet. I'm really thankful for them because I learned a lot thanks to how excited I was to make them! This is the reindeer gnome.
#amiguruMay2025 #amiguruMay #christmascrochet
A crochet gnome. He has a red hat with a white brim. Tan antlers and dark brown ears. The body & arms are dark brown. He has a white beard and a red nose. It's meant to look like a reindeer. There is a crochet string of "lights" made of colored pony beads wrapped around the head/antlers/ears.
