Amigurumi Light from Death Note

I was a big fan of Death Note. I used to read the manga/comics at the library when I was younger. The plot and characters blew my mind. :)

My favourite character in the manga was L who is a detective.(image found at google.com)

Since L is my favourite, I wanted to crochet an amigurumi version of him, but his hair was too spikey and complicated for me to crochet, so I decided to crochet Light who had much easier hair to crochet. :) (image found at google.com)

Before making Light, I sketched him out on a piece of paper:

This was my first sketch of both Light and L, but I changed, Light's sinister look to a cuter look instead:

I used tan, white,blue,brown, and red yarn, and my 3.75mm crochet hook to make Light

I started off by making the head:

Then, I attached the eyes

And since I am lazy, I did not want to make Light's head and body separate then sew them together, I crocheted  both the head and body as one big piece.

Next, I made Light's limbs and then sewed them to the body:

Next came the hardest part: the hair. It took me an hour and half to embroider the hair to Light's head, but it was worth it:

With the help of my dad, I made Light's signature red neck tie, and my dad tied it on for me since I do not know how to tie a neck tie. :P

The final step was to make Light's Death Note. First, I cut a rectangle shaped piece of cardboard, then painted it black and wrote "Death Note" on it with white paint:

Then finally, I used a glue gun to glue it to Light's hand: 

Light is complete!! 

I hope you liked this post! :) It has been a very very long time since I posted something on this blog. I hope to post more soon! Maybe I will make L and post him later! :) 

Till next time, Happy Crocheting!

I am very excited to introduce a new friend to y'all! Here is a sneak peek of a new amigurumi design! What do you think? The step-by-step blog post and pattern will be coming out very soon this week!  

Project~Easy Pom Pom Beanie

While I was watching the Wolverine with my dad and brother, I made this super cute hat!! :) I saw it on All About Ami's blog ,and I knew I HAD to make it. :)I made the long thick strip and folded it in half and sewed the side closed. I used my 6.0mm Clover Crochet hook.

Doesn't the hat have such a lovely ribbed pattern? :)

 I love the ribbed look of the hat. :) ❤️❤️

Then, I threaded a long strand of yarn around the circumference of the hat and tightly pulled the string which closed the hole. 

Then, I made a Pom Pom, sewed it to the top of the hat, and my hat was done!!!:) 

I love this hat... :) 

It looks super cute!

I wear this hat a lot. And it goes well with a LOT of my winter scarfs and jackets. :) Keep warm, y'all!!

The pattern can be found on the Lion Brand website, but you need an account to get the pattern. Luckily the registration is free!! :)

Have a great day of crocheting and crafting!!

Simple Breezy Slouchy Hat

 Brrr! It's been pretty chilly where I live lately. :) It may even snow(it never snows where i live)! I made so many winter hats and scarfs, but this one turned out to be my favourite hat. I bought 2 balls of Vanna's Choice yarn in two different shades of grey, and I decided to make a beanie. The pattern is super easy and simple, and it can be adjusted easily too!

Materials

• 2 balls of grey yarn in different shades( I used Vanna's choice yarn in Silver Grey and Charcoal Grey)
• Size 6.oomm crochet hook( I used my clover hook)
• Tapestry needle

Hat Band:
With the darker grey yarn:
Ch 8
R1: In the 3rd ch away from the hook, dc. Dc in every ch across.
R2: dc in the back loops only across.
Repeat R2 until the band will fit easily over your head.
BO and sew the ends together.
Hat Body:
With the lighter grey yarn:
Rnd 1: Attach the yarn to the brim of the band, and sc around the band.
Rnd2-20: HDC in every st around.
BO.

Finishing:
Cut a long strand of yarn and thread it through the top of the hat. Pull tightly to close the hole. Weave in loose ends.

And there you have it!! :) 

Have a great day of crocheting and crafting!

DIY Totoro Shirt

I love Totoro. When I looked at my Totoro shoes that I posted here, I thought that it would make a super cute shirt if I added some simple pieces of felt to a casual grey shirt! :)
 I had an ugly grey shirt that I never wore. So, I decided to make that shirt into a Totoro shirt.
Materials

• White and black felt
• glue gun and LOTS of glue sticks. 
• scissors
• embroidery needle
• grey yarn
• Grey shirt

 ~Step 1~ Wash the grey shirt or make sure that the shirt is clean

~Step 2~ With the white felt, cut out a long oval and 2 small circles. ( The sizes of the oval and circles depends on what you think would look best.) 

~Step 3~ With the black felt, cut out a small triangle, 2 small circles that can fit on top of the white circles, and 4 thin long strips. 

~Step 4~ With the needle and grey yarn, embroider 3 upside down v's on the top row. Then embroider 2 upside down v's on the bottom row. 

~Step 5~ With the glue gun, glue the white oval on the shirt 3-5 inches below the neck hole. 

~Step 6~ Then glue the white circles 1-2 inches above the white oval.

~Step 7~ Glue the black circles on top of the white circles. 

~Step 8~ Glue the black triangle in the middle of the eyes. 

~Step 9~ Glue 2 of the black strips below the eyes next to the nose. Repeat for the other 2 strips on the opposite side.

~Step 10~ Let the glue dry

And voila! You're done! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. 

Have a great day of crocheting and crafting! 

Let's be creative today!! :)

One of my favourite WIPs. :)
