June brought a very special event for our family – another high school graduation! As the day approached, I knew that I wanted to make something special for Leila – something that she could keep to remember this milestone in her life. Since Leila is a fan of all things Japanese, I decided to make my very first amigurumi.
“Amigurumi” is a Japanese term that means “crocheted toy.” They are plush toys, usually animals, which are crocheted with a small hook in order to create a tight stitch that will contain the fiberfill. I searched on-line and found a pattern for this adorable owl, complete with mortarboard.
How was it received? Well, I think the smile says it all!
I found the owl pattern at http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80282AD.html?noImages=
She looks definitely happy...!!!
