Ollie Bear The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, January 2017

I wanted to challenge myself and create an amigurumi with minimal sewing needed. I have come up with a pattern where just ears and muzzle are sewn on.

What I did not expect was that my experiments would turn into this cute bear. Does he not have an expression of “Please hug me tight!”?

Oliver Bear The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, February 2016


When I design a new amigurumi, I spend time thinking about all the features. I study the dimension and the detail of the various parts, I search on the web to make sure my new character is not similar to others. Finally I make a sketch that becomes the pattern for me to follow. Oliver did not go through this process, or better to say, I was trying to make something else and he turned out instead. He is a mistake, however the most welcome one as he is the cutest thing I have ever created. Is he not adorable… I wish I had the age to play with him!

The pattern was featured in Simply Crochet Magazine, Issue 45 - May 2016

Joe Kitty The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, November 2016

I’m so happy today, I have just finished rewriting the pattern of Joe Kitty The Ami.
I have designed him a few years ago and … yes, I’m still in love with this cute kitty. What do you all think, is he not adorable in his blue baby grow?

FINISHED toy: exceptionally you can buy it on ETSY at this link

Schoolboy Bear the Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, November 2016

This little bear was designed at the beginning of my adventure in the Amigurumi World. I still like him and this year I have taken the time to re-write the pattern and put it in the current format of my recent works. I have made a few changes to the original pattern but overall I have not changed the original character.

Stick The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, October 2016


One day I gave freedom to my fantasy and drew some sketches that were meant to be monsters. Bubble, the first pattern I made, turned out to be a sweet weird thing. Stick, who is Bubble’s fiancĂ© in my Amiland, is an adorable clumsy puffy thing. They are monsters but the most lovely ones you can think of, do not you agree with me?
Stick and Bubble were entered in the design contest with the theme “Monsters” on amigurumipatterns.net in October 2016.
