Juniper the Jellyfish is a fun amigurumi project that your little one is sure to love! You can make this jellyfish to comfort a preemie, NICU baby, or newborn infant, as the coils remind babies of the umbilical cord, which can help calm them.

This handmade gift is perfect for birthdays, baby showers, craft fairs, and more! Easily customize your jellyfish by using different colors and adding embellishments!

These chickens are so easy and quick to make and kids are gonna love them! A perfect addition to those Easter baskets. The chicks also have a removable eggshell. The written pattern is free, and so is the video tutorial. I am using cotton yarn in a worsted weight and safety eyes. The chicks would look cute with a thinner yarn too.

Next, here is another snail ornament, a little more cartoon-like this time. Sean is a super easy pattern that you work up in two easy shapes and then accessorize with eyes and antennae. Overall, this can be a great showcase for your color-matching skills.

This little brown bear is the absolute cuddliest! He is plushy and soft with the cutest bowtie. He takes about 8 hours to work up due to his size - he is a full size teddy! Be sure you have poly-fil stuffing on hand for this one! I hope you all enjoy this little bear!

To begin with, here is a great pattern for a 3 color combo. Of course, you can also make it in more hues, eg. such as a rainbow. Either way, this will be a wonderful addition to your snail-themed tree, or a stocking stuffer for the little ones.

Scrappy the Sloth is a fluffy amigurumi with the most colorful fur you've ever seen (or snuggled!). And to add to this cool crochet pattern, it is done completely using scrap yarn! Yep, Scrappy is a stash busting amigurumi. Scrappy the Sloth is made up almost entirely of scrap yarn. His claws and face are the only parts that call for a specific color. He is done with the loop stitch, then the loops can be cut and brushed (optional) for his super fluffiness.

So… What is Totoro? Basically, it's a Japanese nature spirit. The character itself is the animator Miyazaki's creation, but it is rooted in Japanese culture as a troll and the combination of a few animals. In the movie, My Neighbor Totoro, there are 3 Totoro that Mei meets and explores the forest with, so we're going to make all three today. In this post, I show you how to crochet all three totoros spirits from the movie.
