Hello Kitty Witch

The Patriotic Hello Kitty was a big hit so I decided to move on and try Armina Ami-Nal's Hello Kitty Witch pattern to add to my Halloween package. Not having to change colors for the stripes was a plus.

The challenge for this Kitty was adding the dress to the body. I want to go back and read the tutorial for adding clothing to the body. I am sure I missed something when I read it the first time.

For those interested in the free pattern, you can find a link to it on the Hello Kitty Free Pattern Page. The cape is actually Dracula's cape from Gourmet Crochet's Monster Mash Amigurumi.

If you arrived here looking for free Halloween patterns please check out the Halloween Knit and Crochet Page or the Halloween Plastic Canvas Page.

Hello Kitty Patriotic

I was looking for some Patriotic patterns to make some toys to send off for the July 4th holiday and remembered Armina Ami-Nal’s free Hello Kitty Patterns that have multiple themes including holidays. Since one of the children is a huge Hello Kitty fan, this seemed like a good choice. For those looking for this pattern the link can be found on the Hello Kitty Page under Armina Ami-Nal.

This was the first Ami I have made that required changing colors in stripes. I have changed colors for different body parts, but changing colors as this pattern called for was more challenging. I need to work on that skill. I have since read a few a few suggestions for improving the method for handling the color change.



Since I expect Hello Kitty will be traveling over the summer I decided to include a bag for the summer trips. I have been experimenting with granny squares and decided to crochet two together using half double crochets for a different effect. Then I created a handle using half double crochets in red white and blue to keep the color scheme going.
