Crocheting My Own Super Tuna

If you know me, you probably know that I love finding inspiration for my crochet projects in the things I enjoy – and this tuna was definitely one of those projects!

It was inspired by BTS Jin and his fun song “Super Tuna”. The song is so playful and catchy, and I thought it would be fun to turn the little tuna from the song into a crochet amigurumi.

I started with an idea, picked up my yarn and crochet hook, and began working on the shape. Once I was happy with how it turned out, I wrote down all the steps into a crochet pattern.

If you would like to crochet your own little tuna, you can find this free pattern on my Kofi page:

AMIGURUMI TUNA FISH – FREE CROCHET PATTERN

I crocheted mine with a medium-weight cotton yarn, but you can use a different yarn weight if you’d like to make your tuna bigger or smaller. Just remember to use the same weight and brand for all the colors to get the best results.

I hope you have as much fun making this little fish as I did! If you make one, I’d love to see it, so feel free to share your creation with mine. And if you have any questions about the pattern, don’t hesitate to ask me!

Happy crocheting!

Crocheting a Little Charlie Bucket

Sometimes a crochet project is more than. just something I make with yarn. This little Charlie Bucket doll (from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) is one of those projects.

I made this doll as a birthday gift for a little boy who recently played Charlie Bucket in a local theatre production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I thought it would be a cute way to turn a very special moment from his childhood into a memory he could keep forever.

I wanted to make a mini version of him with his Charlie costume, so I used my doll pattern as a base (I did make a small modification by crocheting the head separately). To keep the doll small, I changed the materials and used a size 10 mercerized cotton with a 1mm crochet hook instead of the size 4 yarn and 2.75mm hook I normally use.

I really enjoyed seeing the little Charlie come together. I especially loved adding the details of his costume and watching the doll start to look like the little actor that inspired it.

Now that the doll is done, I want to find a display box for the doll and paint and decorate it with a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme. I think it will make the gift feel special and give the doll a little place of its own to be displayed.

So this project will have a Part 2, where I’ll share the finished display box and show how everything comes together.

For now, I can’t wait to give him his little Charlie doll. I hope he keeps it for many years as a little reminder of his first main role in a play – and

A Little Airplane Made with Yarn

I mostly crochet dolls and animals, so I thought it would be fun to step outside of my usual projects and make an airplane. I already knew how I wanted it to look. I pictured a cute vintage-style airplane in blue and grey, red details, and a little propeller at the front.

For this airplane, I wanted to capture the shape and details I had in mind. I worked on the body first, then made the wings, tail, and propeller separately before putting everything together. I chose a bright blue for the main body and added red and gray details to give it a little more character and contrast.

As I worked on each piece, I wrote down each step along the way. Once the airplane was finished, I compiled all my notes into a proper crochet pattern. I loved how the finished airplane turned out, so I thought it would be nice to share the pattern with anyone who would like one of their own.

How I Customized My Crochet Doll Base into Love Cell

One of my favorite things about designing crochet doll base patterns is seeing how easily they can be transformed into different characters. For this project, I customized my doll base into Love Cell from one of my favorite K-dramas, Yumi’s Cells.

I was inspired to crochet this character because I absolutely loved the animated cells in the show. Their unique personalities and adorable designs made them so much fun to recreate in yarn.

Using my doll pattern, I added the outfit simply by changing colors as I crocheted the base, then added the hood, cape, blonde hair, Safety eyes, and the signature floating heart. It’s a fun example of how easily the same doll base can be customized into a completely different character.

If you’ve been looking for a customizable doll pattern, this base can be used to create your favorite characters or your own original design. You can find the pattern through the links below:

Recreating Jimin’s Iconic Vegas Look in Crochet

Some crochet projects start with an idea, and others start with a moment you just can’t stop thinking about. This doll was definitely inspired by one of those moments.

After watching one of BTS performance from their Las Vegas concert, I couldn’t get Jimin’s look out of my head. His braided hair was so striking, and I immediately wondered if I could recreate that hairstyle in crochet.

It ended up being a completely new challenge for me. I had never made a hairstyle like this before, so there was a lot of experimenting along the way. To create a more realistic look, I brushed out the yarn to give it a soft-like texture. Then I attached each strand to the head one by one before styling the braids.

It was definitely a long process, and honestly, I wasn’t even sure it would work! But little by little, it all came together. Seeing the finished doll made all the effort worth it, and I am really happy with how it turned out.

This project pushed me outside my comfort zone and reminded me that trying something new can be very rewarding. Challenging projects like this are what keep me inspired and motivated to crochet. They encourage me to learn new techniques, experiment with new ideas, and continue growing as a crochet designer. 🙂

My Chibi Body Base Crochet Pattern

I love designing doll body base patterns, and this chibi version is easy to make and customize. It’s a versatile base that can be customized to create all kinds of unique dolls and plushies. One of the things I love about this design is that it has enough structure and stability without needing to add wires inside, making it easier to crochet.

I have used this body base to crochet several different types of amigurumi, including a Jungkook-inspired doll wearing a Halloween bunny costume. For this version, I crocheted the body in a different color and customized it by adding a hoodie, hair, and bunny ears. I also used small pieces of felt for the eyes to create the facial details and complete the look.

If you would like to create your own chibi amigurumi, this pattern is available in my Ko-fi shop and ETSY shop. You can find the links below:

Astronaut Crochet Pattern

Three years ago, I designed this little astronaut doll after listening to Jin’s The Astronaut (Jin of BTS). The song inspired me to pick up my crochet hook and create my own original astronaut doll.

As I refreshed my ETSY, I knew this pattern deserved a place in the new collection. Looking back at it brings back memories of creating one of my favorite designs and reminds me why I wanted to share it again.

The pattern is designed for intermediate crocheters, but I included plenty of step-by-step instructions and pictures to make each part of the process easier to understand and follow.

Basic Body Crochet Doll

I love designing doll patterns and experimenting with different shapes and proportions. This body design has become one of my favorites, and I’ve used it as the foundation for all kinds of characters, from tiny dolls to larger ones.

Here is an example of a doll I have crocheted using this pattern. This tattooed doll, for example, was inspired by Jimin of BTS. I customized the hairstyle, clothing, and tattoos to recreate his “Set Me Free Pt.2 era. For this doll, I used a 2.75mm hook and medium (weight 4) yarn. 

What I love about this pattern is that it grows with your ideas. Whether you want to make a tiny keepsake or a larger display doll, all you have to do is adjust the yarn weight and crochet hook size to achieve a completely different result.

The doll on the right was crocheted with a 1.45mm hook and #2 fine sports weight yarn. The clothes are crocheted with a size 10 mercerized cotton yarn.

If this pattern caught your eye and you’d like to make one yourself, you can find it on my ETSY or Ko-Fi shop using the links below.

Male Body Crochet Pattern – My Jungkook Gym doll

It’s been a while since I posted on my blog, and I can’t believe how long it’s been! I initially wanted to summarize everything in one post, but there’s just too much to share. So I have decided to highlight my favorite projects instead, starting with a crochet pattern inspired by BTS’s Jungkook.

I wanted to create a doll of Jungkook at the gym, and I wanted a muscular physique for the body. Therefore, I adapted my existing crochet pattern for a basic body to achieve a more muscular appearance. After completing the pattern, I had it tested by fellow crocheters on Instagram. I then personalized it into my own doll, complete with Jungkook’s attire and accessories. I love the base of this doll; it can be customized into different male characters of your liking.

This intermediate-level pattern, written in US format, is crocheted with Cotton Fair Sports yarn. I used a 1.8mm hook, resulting in a doll approximately 10.5 inches in height. I used wires to ensure the doll remains stable and to enable the arms and legs to be bent.

The pattern comes with photos and QR codes to videos. My pattern testers really liked the videos. It helped them visualize intricate parts and made everything so much easier to understand. If you are interested in this crochet pattern, you can find it on Ko- Fi, Etsy, or Ravelry:

BTS Biography – Book Crochet Cover

I bought a BTS biography and of course, my crafter’s brain couldn’t help thinking about crocheting a cover for it! I shared the results on my IG and Twitter (now X) accounts and a lot of people asked if I could create a tutorial. So I made another one to film the steps and uploaded it on YouTube.

I have the US edition of the book but the tutorial can be applied to any edition. I used Caron Simply Soft for the project but I recommend cotton yarn for durability. I also used a 2.75mm hook to keep the stitches tight.

I learned how to make puff stitch flowers with the help of a great tutorial I found on YouTube, by NHÀ LEN. the logos are made with black felt.

If you crochet this cover please send me pics on my ig, I love seeing finalized projects from my tutorials! Also, if you have any questions, please leave a comment on YouTube.

Happy crocheting!
