Chinese Dragon Amigurumi

I know it’s way late, but Happy Dragon Chinese New Year – and now let’s celebrate with a Chinese Dragon Amigurumi!!  I actually made this Chinese dragon amigurumi last year, and if you liked my Facebook page you’ve probably seen it already.  Sorry if it’s a repeat for some of you, but I thought it just had to be a part of my blog too!

Making this Chinese dragon amigurumi was like making a mini-Bowser.  I never really realized it before, but Chinese dragons have deer antlers – did YOU know that?  What do they need antlers for anyway?  I just crocheted small tubes and sewed one perpendicularly in the middle part of the other and attached the combined unit to the head.

This is our last monkey amigurumi!!  Yay!  It’s been a year since we started on this idea of crocheting monkey amigurumis to represent each month of the year, and we’re finally done!  It sure was a lot of work to do but the process was definitely very fun and exciting.

Thanksgiving Monkey Amigurumi

For those of you who were wondering–no, we did not forget about the month of November and yes, we have a Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi just for it.  Hope everyone stuffed themselves silly with lots of yummy foods during the holidays!

For our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi, we went with the Native American look.  We could have gone with the pilgrim look but ultimately decided that a Native American monkey would allow for more decoration.  Since we already had a lot of Native American styled props lying around the house, why not use them here?

Doesn’t our Thanksgiving monkey amigurumi look so cozy and right at home with all the props in the background?  Sometimes those random souvenirs you buy on trips really come in handy!
