“Make it Right” and JK (Jungkook) bunny inspired dolls

In the past two months I made two giveaways on Twitter. I was so busy that I didn’t have time to post anything about it on my blog!

The first one was couple of dolls based on a music video called Make It Right. I loved the animation and the two characters depicted in the little story. It inspired me to make these dolls which I offered as a contest giveaway to other fans.

The characters have no facial features or expressions, but I loved the simplicity of their look and clothes. I tried to make it as accurate as the video, but I had a hard time deciding on the colors as they change throughout the story (the little boys boots go from brown to green and his outfit also switch tones).

I really enjoyed crocheting these dolls. I would use that same pattern again as a base for dolls (if I can remember where I put my notes lol).

The dolls were sent away to keep company to the person who won the giveaway. They are sitting on a desk in an office, they found a good home!

The second giveaway was for Christmas. I wanted to do something special and very cute. I couldn’t think of anything more adorable than a Jungkook inspired bunny doll. I based it on a picture of him wearing a grey bunny costume during a past Halloween event.

I started with a drawing of the doll, it helped me visualize what I wanted it to look like on paper. I am not an artist so my drawings are pretty basic but I do the best I can!

I think the doll turned out really cute! I think people who took part in this giveaway really enjoyed the idea of winning this doll, and now it’s on its way to its new home.

This was the last doll I made this year. I am taking a break during the holidays but I have plenty of exciting projects stored for 2020.

Little bunny girl

This week I spent most of my free time working on this creepy cute zombie girl in a bunny costume. I am having way too much fun drawing and crocheting these days, being creative just makes me happy.

Her name is Bonny, because well… Bunny.. Bonny. I am not really good at picking names so I let my friends choose one for me, and that’s what they came up with. I actually like it, it suits her well.

I got the inspiration from the creepy cute chibi genre, a style that I love. I started with a drawing and coloring, then went to my closet to get the appropriate yarn which of course I never have, no matter what. For that reason, I picked a slightly lighter blue to make her costume and slightly darker pink color for the hair. Next time, I will check out the yarn first before deciding on a color.

Her head is really big and I was afraid that it wouldn’t hold against her tiny body, so I put some wire inside to keep it straight. It worked out great! The hair was the most daunting task because it took me forever to attach all those strands of yarn on her head. I lost count of how many I had to cut, probably close to 200 if not more.

I want to make a doll stand for Bonny, and my other dolls as well. I don’t really like the ones available at the craft store, they are very basic and don’t always work out. It’s on my list of things I want to learn and when I do I will blog about it.

I am already on the drawing phase of my next chibi project, I am on the drawing phase right. It is going to be a girl dressed as a gothy black cat, cute and spooky! I am going to have a lot of fun with that one, I love cats!

The bunny and his snack

I just finished working on my latest crochet pattern which is now available on Etsy: a cute bunny rabbit and his favorite snack, a fresh and yummy carrot from the garden. He was inspired by another pattern I made a few months ago to crochet a squirrel holding an acorn. I am very happy with the result, It turned out exactly how I pictured it! Maybe I should turn it into a series of animals holding their favorite snacks!

He’s about 11 inches tall and crocheted with a 2.75mm hook. I used Red Heart Super Saver for the bunny and Caron Simply Soft for the carrot but using these specific brands is not mandatory. I picked an off-white color to crochet the bunny because pure white gets dirty too quickly.

This little bunny is easy to make. I like to keep my patterns simple by using basic stitches and techniques such as single crochet, increase and decrease. I also use a lot of descriptive photos to give help with visuals.

I Think I am going to take this bunny for a stroll in the garden and see if he will start hopping around or make friends with the real rabbits.

You can visit my Etsy shop If you are interested in this pattern or would like to see more pictures.

Happy crocheting!

Easter Bunny

Last week I worked on a bunny, a cute white wabbit with pink feet and pink cheeks, and pink ribbon. I wanted to send something to my nephew, and since Easter is right around the corner I thought this would be a nice gift for the occasion as well.

Easter Bunny Pattern, by Miss Dolkapots

The bunny was made with Red Heart Super Saver yarn in off white, and pink. I put some blush on the cheeks, and inside the ears.

I cannot wait to send this bunny to my nephew, in the meantime, happy crocheting!
