Amiguruumi

I posted this on the yarn group, but haven't had a response. Is there
anyone here who can help?

Does anyone have any amigurumi patterns they are willing to share? I'm
looking for some that come out the size a thumb, or smaller, if that's
possible. I did see one some time ago, and it wasn't even on a knitting
site, and didn't have a pattern!

I did a Google for "amigurumi pattern" and got over 11,000 hits. A quick
glance showed that several sites had free patterns for downloading.

Bruce, i did do extensive google searches, but people differ on what
they think it is. I spent hours browsing the sites, and got patterns
for teddy bears, and many many larger toys. the FEW actual patterns I
found were not very appealing, hence my request here.

I'll google again, using different keywords, and see if something else
comes up.

I've just remembered why it was more difficult - I specifically am
looking for knitted ones.
I don't crochet... so, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I must confess that I Googled for amigurumi because I hadn't a clue what
it was!

Have you checked the Lion Brand Yarn website? They have quite a few
amiguruumi patterns -- while they don't tend to be tiny -- I suspect
that if you knitted them with fine (or very fine or even DMC) yarn on
teeny knitting needles they might be small enough.

use "amigurumi" for your search term

Yes, thanks, I did look at that site.
the only thing that caught my attention was the dog, which was cute, but
I don't know how big they turn out.

I must confess that I Googled for amigurumi because I hadn't a clue what
it was!

Cute, aren't they? I can't remember where i first heard about them, but
it was ONE of my newsgroups.

I've uploaded a picture to my website, of the picture that inspired me
to actually make one. This picture was sent to me by a friend - it was
not on a knitting site, and all she did was send the picture, and
doesn't know where she got it from - somewhere on the 'net. If anyone
knows anything about it I can maybe find out who made it and where to
get the pattern:

I stress I am not trying to pirate someone's picture, or hijack
anything, just want more info and then i'll remove the picture.

Your friends monkey has been crocheted, not knitted. I have crocheted
several amigurumi animals in the past and while the crochet patterns are
plentiful it is
difficult to find a pattern for knitted amigurumi however I found one for
you, not a monkey!

That is very cute, thanks a lot.

I did realise it was crocheted, but went searching for eqivalent knitted
patterns - now I think I must just bite the bullet and do crochet
instead. Someone else emailed me privately with the site of the
original work:
