Rilakkuma Amigurumi

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

Completed just in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics Closing Ceremony! I participated in Ravelry's Ravelympics 2008 in the Amigurumi-n-Toys Toss event. I know my colors are a bit off (I am stash-busting!), and I don't think he turned out as cute as the real thing, but still I like him nonetheless. I made a few modifications, such as using acrylic eyes instead of the crochet ones in the pattern; also after making the ears (which require the yellow piece to be created separately, and then stitched on), I didn't like that technique and so for the arms and legs, I just did a color change. Pattern is from ISBN4-391-13107-2.
