Pattern from Crochet Cute Critters
It was a request from my mum for her friend who is due to have a baby soon. Mum provided the yarn so it's from her stash somewhere. I used a 3.5mm hook instead of the 5mm the pattern calls for and worked in a continuous rounds rather than joining them like the pattern said.
I love him 😄
Wow I love this set! Where did you buy it?? And as for Amigurumi I am relatively new at it but i bought a book on Amazon that was beginner friendly and covers the basics of Amigurumi. [Amigurumi Book](www.amazon.com/dp/1641522305/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_ASK6MNYJZV3EXCMEPSER?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)
Yes sorry post last fell asleep. Crochet Cute Critters: 26 Easy Amigurumi Patterns https://www.amazon.com/dp/1641522305/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_385APSK70C3JEYZW0TD6 This is one of my favorite books to use to make Animals. I always change up the design a bit for face detail but try to keep everything close to the pattern
I wish I would have used a smaller hook to get tighter stitches, but now I know for next time.
I used the pattern from this book Crochet Cute Critters: 26 Easy Amigurumi Patterns https://www.amazon.com/dp/1641522305/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_F998CYYMTQ72YENQDE6A

I got this book and it helped me a lot, and there are instructions in the beginning of the book that also help a ton. Crochet Cute Critters: 26 Easy Amigurumi Patterns https://www.amazon.com/dp/1641522305/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_W6BRQPQ61J67SFVPTK31?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
If you want to know if a certain animal is in it, feel free to ask!
I owe a lot of credit to Laura Tegg for her Weebee doll patterns on Ravelry: (https://www.ravelry.com/designers/laura-tegg). I used many of her free patterns as bases and then modified them to fit what I was looking for. It was a lot of trial and error! I was also inspired by this picture I found but had to figure it out on my own since there was no pattern: https://www.deviantart.com/natures-morphine/art/Jiraiya-Naruto-506498476.
Body: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/weebee-special-edition-nelly-doll In the pattern you stuff the legs lighter so the doll can sit. I wanted him to stand so I ignored this part and did not sew the legs closed before starting the body.

Headband: I used the mask in this pattern as a base and modified it: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/weebee-doll---super-weebee-outfit
Belt and hand guards: I winged it here and searched for rectangle shapes for the guards and then did a simple chain and single crochet for the belt.
Hair: This was the hardest part and I think took longer than the rest of the doll. I used a couple of patterns to get the shapes I wanted. I used this pattern to make the triangles for the top of his hair and modified the sizes to fit my needs: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dragon-ball-z-goku-amigurumi. I used a modified version of the snake tongue pattern in the book Crochet Cute Critters by Sarah Zimmerman for the long pieces of hair for the front and ponytail.

Thanks so much! Yes, for Throg, I modified this pattern that I got on Etsy:

The body part was pretty straightforward (just about changing colors). The accent pieces (helmet, cape, Mjolnir, shin guards, etc.) I kind of made up as I went along. I took notes if you'd like me to share!
As for the alligator, I used a pattern in this book:
https://smile.amazon.com/Crochet-Cute-Critters-Amigurumi-Patterns/dp/1641522305/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=crochet+cute+critters&qid=1633963175&sr=8-1
Then I kind of made up how to make the horns.
Good luck!
I found starting with amigurumi to be the easiest to start with pattern wise. They are usually very straight forward and simple.
