Crochet: Amigurumi: Mini Sleepyhead 2


End of last month, I crochet Sleepyhead 2 by following the free pattern from this website.

After the full-sized Sleepyhead is completed, I yearn to crochet Mini Sleepyhead. Again. Yes, history is repeating itself. So, I searched for my old post and followed the pattern which I recorded five years ago.

I have no qualms about crocheting Mini's face, body and hat. However, when it comes to the arm, I started questioning the sanity of my decision to crochet Mini again. After a fierce battle with the yarn and hook, I heave a sign of relief. One arm down. Then I bite my teeth and continue with the next one. Another battle.. the struggle is real. My fingers hurt and my eyes stung. I hope I didn't strain my eyes too much.

The first Mini Sleepyhead was gifted to a little girl and all I have are pictures for memory. This time, I am keeping Mini Sleepyhead for myself, and I intend to use it as a bag charm. So, I made a foundation chain, connected it to the tip of Mini's hat and hung it to the bag that I am currently using.
