Who We Are

:iconpandafrogplz::iconcatduckplz::iconpandafrogplz::iconcatduckplz::iconpandafrogplz::iconcatduckplz::iconpandafrogplz:
We love Amigurumi. Just can't get enough of it. If you have never heard of this wonderful craft, let me help you: [link]

Every three weeks, a contest will be held. There are two different types, pattern creation and pattern customization (Read more on the types below). There will also be two winners each week who will have their work featured and will receive other prizes based on member support. The deadline for any contest is two weeks.

The Group Admins judge the contests. The judge will be announced in the contest journal. If an Admin is not judging, the are allowed to participate and even win a contest. To get to know your Admins check out the "About Us" page!

:star:We do not allow normal submissions, please only submit photos of contest entries.

The Contest Types:
Pattern Creation
In a pattern creation contest, you will have to create your own pattern based off of an image, character or theme. Due to the three-week deadline, these will usually be fairly simple creations. (We may have some larger ones with an extended deadline in the future).

Pattern Customization
With a Pattern Customization contest, you will be provided with a basic pattern. The real competition will be how you customize your pattern. For example, if the pattern was a basic rabbit, you could crochet a hat for it or sew a massive smile on it etc.

Please post any questions in the comments section!

We :heart: our prize donors! If you can donate prizes for the winners, just note us!

Our next Contest is "Giant Amigurumi." 


I've noticed this trend recently around other blogs, pinterest, and even here on dA, making giant-sized amigurumi toys. I'll include here some links to tips on how to accomplish this and even two patterns.

You are welcome to use the pattern for your contest entry, any other pattern, OR make up your own! Remember if you use a published pattern to link to it in your description.

Tip for crocheting a giant amigurumi [link] amigurumi 
 
Of course, that is how to make a pattern that is meant to be small, bigger. You can also just use a pattern that's meant to be BIG! Here are two:

I accidently added a photo called "Maximus" into the featured folder, and I don't know how to get it out. So sorry!

The "contribute art" gallery thing is right next to your personal favorites, and I drag and drop things into the wrong folder by mistake. I hate how that's set up.

I did that to another group. I added maybe 5 things, and I didn't even know they invited me as a contributor. :XD: I had them take me off, lol. I really don't like how it's set up.
