Amigurumi Ears (pointed) demo

[dalferr]

Thank you! helped me two lots!

[blackeclipse78]

how did u make the nose?

[WireMySoul]

@blackeclipse78 Round 1: SC 6 in a circle using the magic loop method. Round 2, SC 2 in each stitch around. SLST in the next st and bind off, leave enough of a tail to use it to sew it to the face of your form. Voila! Pig snout!

[blackeclipse78]

instead of doing the double cirlce thing in the beginning can i just chain 2 then do 6 sc in the first chain?

[blackeclipse78]

im REALLY new to amigurumi uhh how do u bind off?

[Scribesh]

This really doesn't like me. Probably the left handed thing.

[gdragon9410]

@Scribesh hey if you need help let me know im left handed too, i pretty much learned everything backwards lol especially the amigurumi ring :]

[Scribesh]

@gdragon9410 Aw, thanks. That's really sweet. Thing about me though is I strive to figure things out. Two months ago, I couldn't crochet to save my life, and now I'm... not quite pro - but good enough. /laughs/

[gdragon9410]

@Scribesh lol oh no problem! i like to teach, especially leftys! but yeah i understand. if you do just message me, or need a amigurumi pattern for like ears or arms or w/e just let me know. I tweaked her pattern b/c when i did it , it came out kinda werid lol

[Scribesh]

@gdragon9410 I think, as far as amigurumi goes I'm aces. (You should see my Mocktopi and my cupcakes /laughs/ I just need a pair of nice floppy bunny ears, all the patterns I've come across start as rounds, and that just makes them way too stiff. I tried just churning something out, but they weren't right until I stitched on a different yarn to the back, making it all stiff.

[gdragon9410]

@Scribesh oh yeah if you want semi stiff it depends on the tension and the yarn... if your using acrylic then itll turn stiff fo sho. im experimenting with 50% cotton and its pretty floppy! hahaha

[DeadlyRuler007]

can you do a written instructions for these please?

[WireMySoul]

@DeadlyRuler007 The written instructions are included in the video as captions. Feel free to grab a pencil and copy them down as you watch.

[hannabeth100]

I do not know, but this video is not

[n3gativ3infinity]

you really are amazing!

[scared5hitless]

wow, you're good at crocheting...own that wool honey...lol

[Jolly0Pinky]

can you also make a video on how to make the amugurumi bunny ears in the video さびしい SABISHII (lonely) made by mmmfruit??? please~ i want to make that

[WireMySoul]

Perhaps you could ask the creator of that bunny to demonstrate. Sorry, but I don't demonstrate other people's designs without special permission and personal interest. That said, if you understand the key mechanics of creating shapes, taught in my videos, you should be able to modify and create your own pattern for a bunny similar to that.

[Jolly0Pinky]

I still can't make this ear...I need help!!!

[WireMySoul]

Where does it go wrong?

[Hitori101]

What if I want really pointed ears?

[WireMySoul]

For really pointed ears, you should try and get a matching colour yarn in a lighter weight (thinner), and use a smaller hook. If you want it to taper out gradually, try increasing only every couple of rounds or so. Increasing as instructed in the video will widen the ear out kind of squarely. Hope that made sense!

[fullmoonnight]

could you make this any smaller because i have a very small bunny waiting for it's ears and i can't make them because i can't seem to find out how to make the ears any smaller

[WireMySoul]

Excluding a couple of stitches from each row, using smaller gauge hook and using finer yarn are all ways you can try to make these forms smaller.

[fullmoonnight]

thank you i'll try that

[scared5hitless]

@fullmoonnight use a smaller hook and think "small" works for me:)

[fullmoonnight]

ah i didnt think of that thanks

[9detroya6]

this is so cool, i learn so much watching this videos. thanks!

[WireMySoul]

That's awesome! Thank you for commenting! :D

[MKcinema]

My poor amigurumi pig has been sitting without ears for a few weeks. I just couldn't figure out how to make the ears properly. Thanks to your demo my pig will be able to hear soon. :-)

[WireMySoul]

You're welcome! I'm happy to help!

[WireMySoul]

You're welcome! I have two more ear demos (rounded ears & human ears) waiting to be edited and uploaded later today. :D

[lucky33me]

There aren't enough videos on ears. Thanks for this.
