Crocheting ideas needed

Ashley2508 March 19th, 2023

I want to make a friend a gift out of crochet. I don’t know what to make. I have a limited amount yarn and I need to have their present done before Thursday. The colors I have are a marbled blue, black, white, yellow, and a light blue. All are 5mm acrylic yarn. Does anyone have any ideas on what to make?

@Ashley2508 I don't know much about it but here are some ideas I had: a headband, a coaster, a heart, a flower, a scrunchie if you have elastic, a small stuffed animal. you can find a lot of beginners tutorials on youtube or pinterest, good luck for your lovely project! I would love to see the result if you want to share it 🧶

Have you ever made amigurumi? I know one of my recent make more amigurumi patterns has been my little cupcake. It does take a bit of stuffing and something to use for eyes, but I find them so cute and easy to make with almost any colours you want.

Here is one of the cupcakes I've made:

Lucky for me, the date for me to have my present in has changed to Monday. I think I’m going to try to make an amigurumi snake. However I’m not quite sure how I’ll do it. I do trial and error since I have extra time. I’ll post it here if I end up finishing it.

Have you found a pattern to use? There are some cute free ones out there. I've found the biggest thing to keep in mind when making a snake is either to use a pattern that includes shaping to creates the curves in the body itself or to lightly stuff your long straight snake body so it is still flexible.

I hope you'll share a picture with us of your results!

@EmotionsListener I have the general idea for the pattern but it isn’t the size I want it to be so I’ll be tampering with it until I see fit. Thank you for the tips, I’ll definitely keep those in mind.

Okay so I didn’t finish in time but I am still going to try to make it when I have time. I still have to keep up with school so it might take a while.

It's true crafts can often take more time than we expect and often end up lower priority than things like school work! Hopefully you'll find the time to finish up soon.
