We're right in the middle of awards season now, so if you've got someone in your life that you think deserves an award, I've got just the pattern for you! Some time ago I was asked if I could design a crocheted award statuette, so I decided to give it a go.
It was an interesting challenge. Normally when I make a human figure, it's very stylised, but I wanted to make this more realistic, with a lot more definition. It's still simplified, a bit like a wooden artist's mannequin, with shaping for the body and joints that bend. In fact, you could just make the figure and adapt it if you want a more realistic-looking amigurumi.
The golden figure holds a sword, but you could change this. The pattern includes details on how to make a laurel wreath instead of a sword, or you could make anything you want for the figure to hold, depending on what you're using it for. Sports equipment for a sports award, a bottle of champagne for a celebration, maybe even a crochet hook and a ball of yarn for an epic crocheter!
The pattern is available now on Etsy and Ravelry.
If you have any questions about this post, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteThe Etsy page is down and I cannot find a download link on your Ravelry page. Has the pattern been removed? :( Too bad if so, it looks like such an excellent pattern!
ReplyDeleteIt has, I'm afraid. I am going to be putting up the pattern for the human figure soon though.
ReplyDeleteomg! i really really wanted this, any thoughts when the pattern will be available again?
ReplyDeleteI've developed the pattern to make a basic human figure, which you can find in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1421391584/human-figure-amigurumi-pattern-pdf
