Amigurumi Crochet Voodoo Doll



Stressed at work? Is the boss getting to you? Fear no longer!...
Now you can vent your anger away by shoving rather large pins into something made of yarn (it's okay, its culturally accepted now, you don't have to hide your inner demon anymore...)

WOOT FOR VOODOO DOLLS!!!

I made this little guy in the hopes of brightening up my work day by brightening up my work desk:


Ironically, the idea came to me while I was watching the first season of Dexter on DVD... hmm...
Now I need to make one where you can pull their limbs off and paint their fingernails in different colours... :P


I made this fellow with 8ply yarn and a 3.5mm hook.

I'm hoping to start selling some of my creations on eBay very soon - Stay tuned!!!

Dr Who Tardis Police Box Pattern


I wanted to make a good friend of mine an amigurumi keychain of some kind. So I pondered for a while on what to make him – we both have a fondness for scifi and a tardis from Dr Who just seemed like the logical choice!

Here is how you can make your own:
(I used 3ply crochet cotton and a 2.5mm hook, but you could use any kind of wool and hook – It’s totally up to how big you would like the finished product to be!)

You will need –
Dark blue yarn
White yarn
Crochet hook
White felt
Blue sewing cotton
Yarn needle

How to make –

Side pieces (make 4 in blue colour)
R1 – 8ch, turn
R2-12 – sc in each, 1 ch, turn (8st)
Fasten off, leave long thread for attaching.

Top and Bottom pieces (make 2 in blue colour)
R1 – 8ch, turn
R2-9 – sc in each, 1 ch, turn (8st)
Fasten off, leave long thread for attaching.

Top round piece (make 1 in blue colour)
R1 – make a double loop with 6sc
R2 – 2 sc in each (12st)
R3 – (2sc, sc in next) repeat 6 times (18st)
Fasten off, leave long thread fro attaching

Light piece (make 1 in white colour)
R1 – make a double loop with 6sc
R2 – 2 sc in each (12st)Fasten off, leave long thread for attaching

Putting it together –

· Starting with the 4 side pieces, line up the stitches on the edge and sew together with the thread tails using a whip stitch.

· Cut out 8 small windows out of white felt and sew on with sewing thread. If you sew in the center of the windows both horizontally and vertically, you will get the appearance of 4 small windows per piece of felt. Use back stitch to attach these – it will give you a nice, clean finish.

· Line up and attach the bottom piece with a thread tail using a whip stitch.

· Line up and attach the top piece with a thread tail using a whip stitch (when you only have one side left to stitch, stuff the box with stuffing and sew up remaining side)

· Center the top round piece on top of your box and attach with a thread tail using a whip stitch (again, stuff when you only have a few stitches left to sew and then sew up what remains)

· Center the light piece on top of the round piece and attach with a thread tail using a whip stitch (this one wont require stuffing, if you stick your leftover white thread tails in here it will be full enough)

I attached a small length of ball and chain with a silver link to turn this into a key ring, but the possibilities are endless –

Attach a magnet and use on your fridge.
Attach a lapel pin and pin it to a hand bag, school bag, or your clothes.
Attach a chain and hang it from your car mirror.

I will let you know how it goes when I give it to my friend!!! I hope he likes it!
