This pattern was removed from allfreecrafts.com because it was very similar to one by another designer. A copy was saved by the Wayback Machine, however, so we can still access it online. If you don't like the doodads at the top of each leg, leave them out and just sew each leg on. {pattern here}

Okay, I must be getting old, because I didn't even know this little guy existed! But isn't he cute?  Now I really want to get one or two of his games for Wren's DS so I can play them while she's at school.

Okay, here's a little sneak peek for you all, because today's my birthday... Shellie from craftbits.com contacted me to let me know she's got this super cute free pattern coming out in November. The really good news is that she gave me permission to share the pattern with you all right now. There's also kiwi fruit, banana slices and strawberrys to dip into the chocolate fountain.... yummo!

This little penguin pattern is tiny, and designed to dangle from your mobile phone strap -or your cell strap, if you're from the US ;) Possibly fiddly, but fairly easy to crochet. {Japanese chart pattern here} {How to view English version of this pattern}

Just what you need for luck & good fortune! I'm not a knitter, but it looks fairly straight-forward. Just shaping, and no fancy stitches. {pattern here}

I think one of these would be the perfect gift to inspire someone who's out to do the 'impossible'. Or just because it's incredibly cute :) {pattern here}

Super cute sushi train, almost good enough to eat! I think that the small parts would make this unsuitable for children under 3, but who says the children are going to get it? {pattern here}

There's a lot of amigurumi balls out there, but I haven't seen such a perfectly shaped one before. You could also use this pattern to make an orange (just stitch a mark on each end). Another free pattern from Emily. {pdf pattern here}

Love those gorgeous, oversized ears! Thank you to the very talented Emily for sharing this wonderful pattern with us :) {pdf pattern here} Note: if you have problems with shaping the head,  try using the head in this pattern for Moko.
