The pattern for the body tries to make a chubby belly, but it looks a little strange. I would probably change round 10 to (2 sc, dec)*6 next time.

2-3: In both loops, sc around - 9 st

11. Ch 1, turn, dec, 3 sc, dec - 5 st
12. Ch 1, turn, dec, sc, dec - 3 st

Finish off

Backpack Straps: you'll have make and position the straps in whatever way makes the backpack stay on the bear's back. For me, this is what worked:

Attach blue thread near the bottom left corner (probably in st 10 of round 2), ch 8, attach to round 7 (probably st 8) with a sl st and finish off. Repeat for right side

Tips:
- The backpack stays on better if the straps are attached closer to the center at the top.
- The straps will stretch, so it's ok for them to be a little tight.

Assembly:

When I sewed my bear together, I slid the hood onto the bear's head, made sure I liked the fit and position, then attached the hood to the body with a couple stitches. Then I attached the head to the body, sewing through the bottom of the hood. This made it so the hood could slide on and off the bear's head, but was firmly attached to the body.

Then I added the ears. I had to sew the ears on a little farther forward than I normally would so that the hood would fit properly.

Then I added the legs and arms.

Lion Microamigurumi Crochet Pattern

This is the pattern I used to make this lion. The only thing I'd maybe do different next time is not add the ears if I add a mane. It was a fun and slightly unusual pattern to follow! 

Smaller Stuffed Rabbit Crochet Pattern

I wanted to make a bunny like my Peter Rabbit but on a smaller scale. Here's the pattern I came up with.

16-17 - Sc around

Stuff

18 - (Dec, sc)*6 - 12 st
Finish off. (You don't need to entirely close the top - it will make the neck too long. But feel free to close it one more round if you like.)

Head: In brown
4 sc in magic circle
1 - (3 sc in 1 st, 1 sc in next st)*2 - 8 st
2 - 1 sc, 2 Inc, 2 sc, 2 Inc, 1 sc - 12 st

Begin stuffing
15 - (2 sc, Dec)*4 - 12 st
16 - (sc, Dec)*4 - 8 st

Finish off, sewing tail in.


Ear: Make 2 in brown
6 sc in magic circle
1 - (sc, Inc)*3 - 9 st
2 - sc around
3 - (2 sc, Inc)*3 - 12 st
4 - sc around
5 - (3 sc, Inc)*3 - 15 st

Arm: Make 2 in brown
4 sc in magic circle
1 - Inc*4 - 8 st
2-4 - sc around
5 - (2 sc, dec)*2 - 6 st
6-7 - sc around
Stuff
8 - Dec around

Finish off and sew onto the body.

Assemble the rabbit then add the tail by making a pompom and sewing it on. Embroider the face.

Dress - In blue. The dress is made starting at the front neckline, then going back and adding the back neckline and sleeves. After it's finished, turn it inside out - that way the ruffles at the bottom will stand out better. The only thing I would try to adjust next time is the back neckline. Somehow I ended up making the back more closed in than the front. It doesn't look bad, but I think it could be adjusted by a stitch or two.

1 - Ch 13
2 - Turn, in back of chain, beginning in 3rd loop (counts as 1st dc), dc, hdc, sc, sc inc, 2 sc, sc inc, sc, hdc, 2 dc - 14 st
3 - Ch 1, turn, sc across - 14 st
4 - Don't turn. Ch 16 and join with a sc to the other end of the dress (now you will be working in rounds. Make sure you can pull the dress over the ears and into place at this point.) - 30 st
5 - (4 sc, inc)*6 - 36 st

(By this point, the dress may seem way too big. Don't worry. When you add the back/sleeves the back neckline will become smaller.)
6 - (5 sc, inc)*6 - 42 st
7 - (6 sc, inc)*6, ch 2 - 48 st
8-10 - dc around - 48 st
11 - Sl st, tc around

Finish off.

Sleeves:

Go back up to the top of the dress and work in the back in what would be round 4.
1 - Skip 3 loops (this should be directly under the arm) then join and sc, sc, dec, sc, dec, sc, sc. There should still be 3 loops not used on the other side too.
2 - Ch 1, turn, sc, ch 5, connect to front by sc in the next 2 st, ch 1, turn, sc in both sc & down chain (7 sc), sc 5 (across back), ch 5, sc 2, ch 1, turn, sc in both sc & down chain (7 sc). Finish off.

You could be creative and make longer sleeves.

Miniamigurumi or Microamigurumi Sparrow Bird Keychain Crochet Pattern

Made with embroidery floss - the size of a nickel

Made with crochet thread

Size comparison - crochet thread vs embroidery floss

Supplies needed:                            Crochet Key:

Dark brown thread                          DB = Dark Brown 

Black thread                                    B = Black

Grey thread                                     BLO = back loop only

Keychain ring                                  FLO = front loop only

Every round needs to be joined for this pattern. So at the beginning of every round, sl st in the 1st st, pull tight, ch 1, pull tight, then make the 1st stitch of the round in the same stitch as the sl st, ch1 was made in. This will keep the bird from being twisted.

If you want to make the larger sparrow, use size 10 crochet thread

If you want to make the smaller sparrow, use 1 strand of embroidery floss

Updated Highland Cow Microamigurumi Crochet Pattern

For the hair, I just cut thread into about 1/2" lengths then pulled a loop through a stitch and pulled the ends through the loop. Here are some pictures to help understand how.

Keychain Penguin Microamigurumi Crochet Pattern

 

My pattern is based off of this pattern. I needed mine to be a little smaller than the original, so I scaled it down somewhat, but otherwise pretty well followed The Blue Elephant's pattern.

For the Body part of the pattern - My body was a little longer and skinnier than I would have preferred. Changes I recommend for next time I make it:

#1 - Begin the white in round 6 (in black (inc, 4 sc)*3, in white (inc, 4 sc)*3).

#2 - move round 17 to before round 15 so all the (sc around) rounds are together. Then just do all the (dec) rounds after.

You will use:
Size 12 crochet hook
1 skein of black embroidery floss
1 skein of white embroidery floss
1 skein of orange embroidery floss
1 keychain ring

Head: Begin in black
1: 6 SC in magic circle
