Crochet Ponies and Scrunchies

27/6/2013

Comments

 
Commissioned Crochet Ponies and Scrunchies
I am so excited to show you these amigurumi ponies and crochet little girl scrunchies, not only because I made up the pattern for these beauties and it being my first time making ponies, but because this is my first ever custom order for someone I do not personally know!  As you can see from the photo there are 3 ponies and 4 pairs of scrunchies.  

An adoring grandmother to a 4 year old little girl asked me to make this for her.  She is also a fellow crocheter, but finds it hard to work with crochet thread.  So of course, I was ever so happy to do this for her.  I was first contacted by her to make the little girl scrunchies.  However, when it was determined that shipping was going to be a bit pricy, she decided to have me crochet some ponies so that it not only made it worth the shipping costs, but that it also made it worth my time.  How sweet is that!  God bless her.  She gave me complete creative freedom.  Her only specifications were that the ponies and little girl scrunchies be in princess colours of pink and purple.  I am so pleased to say that she is delighted with how it turned out.  I can't wait to hear how her granddaughter likes them! 

Each pony took me about 2 days to crochet.  They are about 3.25" (8 cm) tall and long and about 1" (2.5 cm) wide.  They are made with crochet cotton thread and stuffed with polyester fiberfil.  The whole time I was making them and even now looking at the pictures, I felt like being a little girl again.

Each scrunchy took me about 30 minutes, give or take, to crochet.  They are about 2.5" (6 cm) in diameter.  They are smaller than my normal sized scrunchies which are about twice the size.

Plum Purple Crochet Pony

When she asked me to make a pony, I was thinking to myself, "Oh cool, a pony!  I have never made one before.  This should be fun.  Okay, now how in the world I am going to make this?..."  Add a few not so bad curse words in there.  

For those of you who know me, you know that I like to make up my own designs/patterns whenever I can, and that I don't really like to follow a pattern.  Unless of course it is my own, but even then I don't really care to do that.  So, I did what I normally do first.  I searched for ponies in google images to have a visual on what a pony looks like.  

Then, I just grabbed my yarn and started working on the hooves and legs.  This part came to me really quickly.  Next, I got to work on the body.  This is were it took a while for me to get it right.  I think I frogged* the body part about four times before I got it to look good.  Once I had gotten it to how I liked it, I went ahead and sewed the legs to the body.  Then I got to thinking about how I wanted to make the head, and I remembered my knight from my crochet chess set.  So I grabbed the original knight from the first crochet chess pieces I made, and I held it up next to my pony's body.  It was a perfect fit, so I went ahead and used a similar pattern for my pony's head.  Once that was done, I crocheted the ears and sewed them onto the head.  Next, I embroidered the eyes.  At first, the eyes were pink because in the dark, black seemed to dark.  I later changed them to black once I noticed that in the natural light, they look so much better.  Finally, I worked the tail and the mane, and below I give you my very first crochet amigurumi pony.

*Frogging is when you unravel or undo crocheting work you have done.

Pink Crochet Pony

After showing my lovely customer the first pony, she asked me to make one in pink and lavender too.  So, I went to work crocheting the pink one next.  It is the same as the first pony with a few alterations.  Instead of making this one with different colour hooves, I decided to make it all one colour to see if I liked that better.  Plus, I also altered a couple rows for the legs to give them a better shape.  Otherwise, the rest of it is the same as the first only with a different colour arrangement.

Lavender Crochet Pony

Once the pink pony was done, I went ahead and started to crochet the third and final one in lavender.  This one is crocheted in the same fashion as the pink pony.  I still can't decide if I like it better with different colour hooves.  I am thinking that it looks good both ways and just depends on what mood I am in.

Lavender Crochet Little Girl Scrunchy

I was first asked to make some little scrunchies, child-sized.  So I went to work first on the purples ones because I had those colours in stock.  I made two of each one.  This is the first scrunchy design I made for her.  It is in lavender.

Pink Crochet Little Girl Scrunchy

The last two scrunchies were made after I had finished crocheting all of the ponies.  These pink ones were third to be completed.

Peach Crochet Little Girl Scrunchy

Finally, I crocheted these little scrunchies in peach.  I was hoping to get another kind of pink, but they only had the pink that is pictured above.
