I have to say, this amigurumi is a bit special to me. 

Why?

Because it was one of the very first amigurumi I made all by myself, without a pattern or anything

Of course, at that time I didn’t know that crochet would become my full-time job and writing pattern my every day life. I didn’t take any notes… Because why would I have had to? 

Mike was proudly sitting over my computer speaker, and I was proudly looking at him everyday thinking “I made it ALL BY MYSELF” ! 

But time went by and Mike joined dozens of other amigurumis in the giant box where all the amigurumis I don’t have enough place to display sadly end up. Life went on and I forgot about the one who once was such a pride.

Then Mister Ahooka’s goddaughter came to visit us with her parents for a few days. When I saw her gigantic blue eyes opening wide in front of all my amigurumis, I thought I would open the magic box to see if she’d like some of them. That moment was kind of enchanting, we almost could hear a Disney song tinkling and see Mike reaching out to her arms. She instantly adopted him ! 

And even after their stay, Mike stayed her adventure buddy !

To the point where I received a kind letter asking me if I could fix her buddy because he was starting to get a bit old and even lost his legs during one of their trips.

Ah ah ! It was so much fun seeing Mike again, all worn out by a year of friendly adventures.

And that’s how I started to count the stitches to make a brand new Mike. This time of course, I took notes and pictures and everything needed to make a tutorial. And today, it’s a pleasure for me to offer it to you ! Happy crocheting ! :)

Arms and legs

For the arms and the legs, I used crocheted i-cords.  Here is a video by June Gilbank to show you how to do that. As this technique may take a bit of practice to be successful, I also wrote an alternative method you could use (see below). 

• With i-cord

Chain 10, slst in the first ch to make a circle then start your icord (14stitches for the arms, 30 for the legs) 

• Without i-cord

For the arms : ch 24, slst in the 10th chain from hook then slst in the 14 remaining stitches. 

For the legs : ch 40, slst in the 10th chain from hook then slst in the 30 remaining stitches. a

Leave a long tail for sewing.

  1. What a lovely story, it’s so special when someone else loves your creations as much as you do.,

  2. Such a cute little Mike!! I’ve decided to make one to put on a “Twiddle Muff” that I’m making for a friend’s wife, who has Alzheimers, and can’t keep her hands still… I think she’ll love to “twiddle” with Mike when she’s feeling anxious or nervous.

  3. I made your Don’t Care Bear for my son,he loves it! He has a store where he sells vapes and he has it behind the register, a lot of his customers comment about it and have tried to get him to sell it- he won’t, but he will give out your online store info so they can get the pattern
