Jelly Pets anyone?

Introducing.... Jelly Pets. A friend of mine suggested I should do a jellyfish. I didn't want to just do an ordinary jellyfish. I was thinking about about a jelly cat or even a jelly pup? I made some quick doodles....


...then i scavenge some simple crochet patterns and played around with their legs. I alternate stripes and solid to make them pop out. I crochet the legs on one side tightly to give it that spiral effect.

Loucille plushie

Loucille was one of the challenging I've crochet. I used the illustration of her as a model and tried several fish patterns I could fine. I tweaked several times with her fins and tail. Instead of using felt I decided to just crochet and stitch her eyes to keep it that soft volume appearance.

Nina and Jules

Say hello to Nina and Jules! They are llamas who like to scout the mountains up top and look over the hills down below. Nina is the lime green one and Jules is the coral pink one. I had fun inter changing their colors as if they were meant to be a pair! I also went ahead illustrated them. This helps to show them in 2D. I think I'm going to illustrate some of the critters I've made too.

I was inspired by the llamas I saw at the petting zoo. I like how llamas have a unique characteristics of their oddly shape bodies. I simplified their oddly shape body into simple round ellipses and then as I crochet it I gave it a little bump on its touche. The best part was that I wanted to make their legs to appear puffy without using any fluffy fuzzy yarn. I did so by rounding their knees and then stitching the legs onto them.


Enjoy!

Rocco the Raccoon

Rocco was very fun to make. He's one of the first creation I've sketched and created a crochet pattern. While crocheting, I made some changes due to the material and shaping of his body, eyes, and tail. Some detail I added was his fluff cheeks. Choosing the closest felt color to the yarn added some subtle details. The best part is I can interchange his stripe colors and maybe create different versions of Rocco!

Twinky the Stafish

Twinky is ready to swim into a new world. He comes in three fun colors: coral, lime green, and yellow. He's my first amigurumi pattern creation. If you want him you can buy him in my etsy shop here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/45284347/twinky-the-starfish?ref=cat1_list_4

Moogly's backpacking

Moogly was really fun to make. I found a pattern on a cute monster. But I played around with the shape his head/body to make him more boxy. Well since I'm giving him away I made him a backpack to travel!

Pinky's Venture

Here's Pinky! He went out to venture in my yard outside. It was a bit chilly so I gave him a scarf to wear.
