Aviator Hat

Since winter is just around the corner, you can warm your sight with this cute aviator hat! It was such a pleasure to work this pattern and to use for the first time Drops Merino Wool. 
I changed the pattern a little using fluffy yarn instead of the normal one for a more puffed up and cosy appearance.
Enjoy!

Mr. Owl (Mr. Murasaki)

Vacation passed quickly and I am back at work! I couldn't wait to get back to my cute projects.
Since Mr. Owl was such a success, I decided to make more! Mine is currently used as a pin cushion :)


A friend asked me to make two opposite color Mr. Owl for her and her sister. I decided to take it a little further and transform them into key chains. Thanks to my friends from It Took Two who helped me with the key chains it was a success! 
You can see the results below:

Alkis, the baby moose

This one is special!

Since soon I will be visiting Sweden, I got inspired and tried to recreate a baby moose. My first amigurumi pattern! I wanted it to be cartoon like, with big, exaggerated nose, sweet eyes and thin, long legs. 

It turned out amazing, I'm really happy with the final result! I just have to write a pattern for his tail :) unfortunately I forgot to put one on him.
I hope to release the pattern soon, as I'm still trying to figure out all this blog, facebook page and shop thing :) 
I found the pattern for the eyes on Pinterest. The pattern is very easy and the result is quite cute! Everybody complimented his eyes! :D 





                                                          Should I give him a smile? :)
