Join Geeky Hooker’s 2015 San Diego Comic-Con Amigurumi Hunt!

Posted on 09/07/2015 by Lambert Varias

Geeky Hooker loves to crochet amigurumi. Sometimes she sells them, but mostly she gives them away by dropping them off at various locations. She’s at the San Diego Comic-Con this week, and she’s hiding eight of her creations for anyone to find. Up for grabs are Star-Lord, Groot, a white walker, Chewbacca, Baymax, Batman, Scarecrow and the cutest Deadpool you’ll ever see.

To join her hunt, follow Geeky Hooker on Twitter and watch out for her #CRITTERDROP tweets, where she’ll drop clues on the location of an amigurumi. She’ll only place one amigurumi at a time, and she says there will be times when “you’ll have to work for your critter.”

Check out Geeky Hooker’s blog for the full guidelines. Happy hunting!

Amigurumi Pokémon Pikachu by Johnny Navarro image

Here to grow your Pokédex database even larger are these absolutely cute amigurumi (a Japanese style of crocheting) Pokémon from Etsy user Johnny Navarro.

Johnny has an adorable little stable of Pokémon amigurumi to chose from of great quality that you will love to hug. Just look at them! How could you resist these tiny faces?!

There is, of course, the headlining staple of Pokémon faces, from Pikachu (although, sadly, at this moment is currently sold out), Charmander, Bulbasaur, and few more; Johnny even has a couple crocheted characters from the Digimon world if that also strikes your pocket-monster fancy.

For for $30 to $40 bucks each, every amigurumi requires 8-12 weeks for each one to be made and then delivered. Johnny makes each one made to order, which is a good sign of their quality.

Pokémon Amigurumi: Gotta Squeeze ‘Em All

Posted on 07/02/2015 by Lambert Varias

Johnny Navarro sounds like an action hero’s name, but our man here is a crochet hero. The Etsy seller makes adorable amigurumi of Pokémon, Digimon and other geeky characters.

Charmander uses tiny smile! It’s super effective! Johnny’s amigurumi vary in size, but each of them can fit in the palm of your hand.

The last three of Johnny’s amigurumis that I’m going to show you are not actual Pokémon, but it would be criminal not to share them. First up is Chanfing, the popular Pokémon Fusion character.

And this is a one-two kawaii punch. The jellyfish will kill you with cuteness, then the octopus will bring you back to life with cuteness.

Johnny sells his amigurumi on Etsy for $30 to $45 (USD) each. It seems like he only makes limited copies of each amigurumi – Pikachu and Chanfing are no longer on his store – so catch ‘em right away. You can check out Johnny’s blog for past and future designs.

Baby Groot Crochet Amigurumi: I Am Cute!

Posted on 20/08/2014 by Conner Flynn

Dance the night away with this adorable Baby Groot crochet amigurumi figure. Isn’t he cute? You’ll never actually catch him dancing, no matter how many times you look.

This may be the fuzziest baby Groot that we’ve seen yet. This amigurumi doll has a body and arms that are bendable. That means you can so you can pose him any way you like. Maybe even make your own stop-motion dance video. That would be cool.

You will have to provide your own flower pot though. He is made of acrylic/cotton wool and stuffed with polyester toy filling and joy. . He comes in 7.8 inch and 5.2 inch versions, and is available from Etsy artist SzydelkoweWytwory for $13 to $17(USD).

Crochet Amigurumi Stuffed Tauntaun: Soft Hoth

Posted on 10/04/2014 by Conner Flynn

This adorable crocheted Tauntaun will be a great addition to your other plush Star Wars toys. He will look great on your shelf, your couch, in your bed or wherever. He isn’t big enough to cut open if you are facing bitter cold temps though. Which is good, considering the smell.

This cute little guy stands about 5-1/4″ tall and even has a saddle for a rider. It comes from Etsy artist underafeymoon and will cost you about $14(USD). Display it with your Luke Skywalker action figure as a rider and he will look great in your collection.

Just kidding about the smell. It doesn’t smell like a real Tauntaun.

Spock Minion Amigurumi: Highly Logical

Posted on 05/04/2014 by Conner Flynn

Crochet. The final frontier… Do you like the logical side of Spock, but also want him to have a softer side? Well, this Spock/Minion amigurumi is the perfect new member of your crew if you have a spot open on your bridge.

Is it Spock looking like a minion or a minion looking like Spock? I have no idea. I just know that he is adorable. This cute little Vulcan hybrid comes from Etsy artist Kutuleras and you can get him for just about $31(USD) from their Etsy shop.

He is 12.5 inches tall and the glasses are even removable. Now you can have a Vulcan/Minion aboard your starship for the first time in the Federation’s history.

While you’re over there, be sure to check out their Captain Picard minion. Make it so!

Etsy crafter Mysterious Cats will sell you the pattern for about $8(USD). Actually turning it into the cool ship above is up to you at that point. Once completed, your amigurumi Millennium Falcon will measure about 7.7” long and 6.7” wide, so it is a nice sized ship for your desk or wherever.

This seller also has patterns for the X-Wing, a TIE Fighter, Boba Fett’s Slave I and many others. They are just too cute. You could have an entire crochet fleet.

Amigurumi Iron Man: Stark-craft

Posted on 28/08/2013 by Conner Flynn

Experience the softer side of Tony Stark with this awesome Iron Man amigurumi. He is completely adorable and also nicely detailed.

As you can see in the picture, Iron Man’s mask even flips up. As a bonus the helmet also comes off completely, revealing Tony’s head and he even has facial hair. Hug him, squeeze him, cuddle with him in bed. It’s all good. No one will know what a softy you are.

He’s the cutest Avenger. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to get all of that detail. In the end he turned out perfect. I wish I had one to put on the shelf and admire for myself.

Crocheted Minions: Despicable Amigurumi

Posted on 04/06/2013 by Paul Strauss

For me, Despicable Me was a unexpectedly entertaining animated film. Perhaps it was because of Steve Carrell’s hilarious performance as Gru, or maybe it was his Raving Rabbids-esque army of minions. Either way, you won’t be able to resist this collection of amigurumi minions.

This set of nine minions was handmade by crochet artist Komang Darmiani, and they’re just waiting to be placed on your desk for family, friends or co-workers to ogle and grope. Each one is made from acrylic yarn and measures just under 3″ tall.

The full set will set you back $99.90(USD) – or just over $11 a minion – not too bad for your own highly-obedient cubicle army, I say.
