80's amigurumi patterns (picture obese)

[Wayuki]

I decided to make a bunch of new amigurumi using an old pattern book and magazine from my mom. 

First I made this kitten. I made this pattern before when I was twelve years old, but it came out kinda crappy. So now I made a much better version for laughs! I also gothed it up a little, LOL. The ruffled skirt and the bow are my own additions. I also made a more shapely tail, as the original was just straight.




Then I made this doll. I also made one back in the day, but I never made the dress and the bonnet. I made the original naked with the intention of dressing her up in various ways, but never got around making any clothes. Oops.   

Again, I could help myself and add a bit more shaping to the pattern. I tapered the limbs, added short rows for the feet and added a little ruffle where the legs attach to the body.





And finally, this silly bunny. I made one exactly like it when I was just starting out, but I can't find it anymore. So, I decided to make a new one! These days I would probably have used peach for the nose and inner ear instead and different eyes, but I decided to keep those like the original for old times sake, LOL!

Those are extremely cute.  I wish my mom had saved patterns like that for me.

It's the "dolls and animals" Ariadne special from 1985. It's in Dutch, though. ^_^'
The kitty is from the magazine.

The other two are from the book, which is called "Gehaakte poppen en dieren" (Crocheted dolls and animals). The version I have is also in Dutch, but this book was originally Japanese, by Ondori.
