I am looking forward to this CAl! I do have a question regarding FOs, can I submit several FOs?
Yay I hope you have fun with it! You totally can submit multiple FOs, I would love that! However for the prize, only one entry per person will apply just to keep it fair for everyone 🙂 (and the winner will be selected randomly, not selected on “quality”. This is all just for fun 🌞). I can’t wait to see what you do!
Okay, cool! That sounds fun and fair. Now, time to make that pineapple;) I don’t have any yellow yarn at the moment, so I am thinking of making it in another color. We will see how that goes…
Again, your patterns and creativity just blows me away!! THANK YOU for sharing your wonderful patterns and I hope I did this little pineapple justice;)
Aw very cute pineapple you made! I think it looks so good, I’m so happy that you like my patterns as well 🙂 That means a lot ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your finished amigurumi, you made it so quick!

I absolutely love the pineapple you made! It’s awesome to hear that you had fun making him too 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing your cute pineapple with us 😄
Thank you so so so much for posting these awesome patterns!❤️ I’m 13 and I really enjoy crocheting! I look forward to each weekend that you post a new pattern!🍦 I made a confetti cone because i didn’t have the right colors! I was so eager I couldn’t wait till the week of the 12th to post this🤣 You have an amazing website! This pattern was so easy and fun to make! thanks again!!!😊
Hi there Grace! Oh my gosh your ice cream is so cute, especially with that awesome photography! I wish I was as creative as you because that photo looks amazing 🙂 How cuuute! Your cone looks awesome too, if anything the confetti yarn just makes it look even sweeter ❤️ Thank you so so much for sharing your super cute ice cream. It’s totally fine that you posted it now! And that’s so nice to hear that you look forward to new patterns. I always want to bring you new cute patterns here! Keep up the awesome work Grace, I can tell that you have so much talent especially for a 13 year old! Thank you again for your kind comment ❤️
I am 12 years old and I love knitting! I make cute amigurumi, I find it very good that we as teenagers do different and beautiful things! That ice cream is beautiful!
This is really a cute collection.
Thank you so much! I hope you can make one of these amigurumis 🙂
This Summer Bundle is so cute!
Here are some mini and regular sized ice cream scoop cones that I made.
The “striped” type yarn works great for large scoops, variegated look, or mini scoops, many little “flavors” from one skein of yarn!
Yay they look very cute! I LOVE confetti so the little confetti ice cream is for sure my favorite from the bunch 🙂 You did an A+ job on them! Thank you so much for sharing your ice creams with us ❤️
I love the tiny eyes you used for the mini ice cream cones. If I might ask… what size did you use? The striped ice cream is great. It looks like sherbet or Italian spumoni!
Pineapple
VERY cute job on your pineapple! I love his eyes, he looks super adorable. Thank you for joining the CAL! I hope you had fun making the pineapple 🙂
This pineapple was fun and turned out cute
Aw that’s awesome! I love it!! I’m glad you thought it was fun to make 🙂
Cute pineapple
Oh my gosh haha he’s so cute! Thank you so much for crocheting him and sharing a photo, I love it!!!
Here is my piney-apple! Trying to use up what I have in the house. My kids love him!
The colors you chose for it makes him look super tropical! He looks FANTASTIC 🙂 Aw thanks so much for sharing Maureen, glad that you kids love him too! I mean how can you not?! Haha
Was so excited to see all your new patterns! Hope to make quite a few of them over the next few weeks!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot to me because I put a lot of work into them. To hear that you want to try and make a few of them is so heart warming 🥰 If you do make more you definitely got to show me! Your creations are always so awesome. Have a fantastic day!
He SO cute! Great job!
my mini pineapple 6″ tall made him in sports weight yarn love him
Haha he is so cute and looks like the perfect summer decoration!! Sport weight yarn looks like it worked up perfectly too, I should give it a try sometime 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing, love that you like him!
I’m loving these patterns, I can’t wait for the coconuts, they’re adorable! Just when I was needing some new projects too, thank you!
I love that you made the sun! Yaaaay they look perfect next to each other! Very summery and so cute 🙂 Glad to hear that these patterns came when you needed them ❤️ I hope you make the coconut, the straw in it was super fun to make! Thank you SO much for sharing your adorable sun and pineapple – they make my day!!
Here is my pineapple, no eyes for him, it’s going in my daughter’s kitchen. I enjoyed the pattern, I discovered a new stitch (the shell) and it turned out pretty great ! Thanks a lot for your patterns, I will probably do the ice cream 🙊
Hi Anaïs! Your pineapple looks super awesome even without the eyes! Is it being used as play food? I’m sure your daughter will love it! And it’s great that you learned a new stitch. It’s kind of rare to use a special stitch with amigurumi, the shell stitch makes the pineapple work up pretty quickly 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing a picture of your pineapple, if you do the ice cream I’d love to see!
I couldn’t wait for ice cream week! Here’s my mini cone, to help keep my kids from losing the mail key. 🙂 Thanks for the super cute free patterns!
Haha what a fun way to make sure they keys don’t get lost! I love the ice cream you made, it looks amazing 😍 I actually have that same confetti yarn too. It works great for desert patterns 🙂 LOL Don’t worry about waiting for ice cream week! Because any week is ice cream week 🍦
Thank you a million for sharing your ice cream with us, totally love your amigurumi!
I used blue buttons for the eyes to make this Pineapple Amigurumi for a blue-eyed friend!
Haha that is just so cute!! You never see buttons enough on amigurumi, they add such character 🙂 I hope your friend loves the pineapple you made! I sure love it ❤️ Thank you so very much for sharing him with us!
I am 12 years old and I love knitting! I make cute amigurumi, thanks for these patterns! I will make them !! cute!!
Hi Akira! I love your pretty name 🥰 I also love that you enjoy the super fun arts of crochet and knitting! It’s so awesome girls your age find a passion in needle arts, it’s a very fun and positive hobby! I tried to learn crochet at your age but accidentally bought knitting needles and watched a “How to crochet” video thinking it was all the same thing… needles to say I didn’t learn how to knit or crochet that day 😂 Thanks so much for your comment! Can’t wait for you to make some of these patterns!
I’ve finished the little pineapple. I decided to go all yellow with him and think he turned out super cute. I’m planning to do the whole collection. Thank you for the adorable patterns!!
Hi Rachael, what a good decision you made with the color, I love him!! And I’m so glad to hear that you liked how he turned out 🙂 That would be AWESOME if you made the whole collection!! If you do, you gotta post a picture of them all together 😄 Thank you so very much for all of your kind words and sharing your super cute pineapple ❤
Love him in solid color! Adorable!
You are my sunshine….
Yay I love it!! He’s so shiny and smiley, that’s so sweet 🥰
i love your amigurumi its so cute!
Thank you so much!! That’s very nice of you to say 🙂
Here’s my sunshine.
Adorable job on him! He looks fantastic, I love that you used a darker color on the sun’s spikes 🙂 I hope you had a fun time making him!!
Thanks for a great pattern!
Thank you so much for sharing your cute pineapple!! Just too adorable 🙂 I love the eyes too, I need to give those kind a try!
Used up some scrappy stash to make the sun ! Super cute and fast!
Haha I love him in the plant!! So cute 🙂 Your scrap stash had the perfect colors to make the sun! It looks like he’s waving “hi” in the photo, that just melts my heart with cuteness 🤩
I’m glad you found the pattern to go fast too, I had a fun time crocheting the sun together. It’s always fun to watch the amigurumi come together so quickly 🥰
I thought I would do something different and made a pineapple that is blue and purple. I am quite pleased with how it turned out and can see myself making another one in the near future.
Yikes! I forgot to include the image.
Hey that is so cool! Who would have thought that those colors would work so well for a pineapple! It reminds me of the cool 90’s paper cups (I always loved that design haha). Glad that you liked how it turned out! Honestly it looks fantastic, the blue yarn has such a cool look 🙂 Is it stonewash yarn? I want to give that yarn a try sometime! Thank you for sharing your finished object with us!
Yikes! Sorry for the late response! The yarn is Premier Yarn’s Premier Home Cotton in the colorway Ocean Splash. I really like this yarn and think it works great for amigurumi.
I love this pattern!
Hi Elaine, oh my gosh I just LOVE your penguin!! Suuuper cute, I also just adore how it looks like she’s doing the hula 😍 Too cute! Thank you so much for sharing, I hope you had fun making it!
Thank you so much for this wonderful pattern!!! My parents went to Hawaii for their honeymoon, so I made these penguins for their anniversary. It was perfect! I think that my tropical penguins turned out great.
I had SO much fun making them. The hat, the flower lei, and the grass skirt were my favorite.
Hi Stasia! Oh my gosh that is so nice of you to make a honeymoon gift for your parents! That’s really the perfect gift since they went to Hawaii!
I can’t emphasis enough how adorable your penguins look together! You should be so proud of yourself 🙂 Also I love the dolphins next to them ❤️ So glad to hear that you had fun making all of the clothes – the lei was probably my favorite too. I hope your parents loved their super cute gift! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Thank you!!
Love these patterns! We’re having a Pineapple Party!!!
Haha no way!! That is SO CUTE 😍😍😍 Good thing that isn’t Hawaiian pizza though… it might have scared the pineapples 😂
Thank you so much for sharing that adorable photo. Each pineapple is so cute and has their own personality! My favorite has to be the super colorful one on the left ❤️
Just love pineapple amigurumi and very easy pattern to follow.
Thank you for sharing such talent of wonderful creations. I can’t post my picture on here don’t know why my phone doesn’t let me add it
Hi Cassandra! Thank you so much for your super kind words 😋 That always means so much to me. If you’d like you can email me a picture! That might work out, Olive ( at ) Stringydingding.com
I’m excited to see how your pineapple looks! Have a great day ❤️
I realize that I posted this little guy on the pattern page, not the contest page! Here it is again!
Hi Nicole!! Haha no worries, I’m entering in the pictures people post on the pattern pages as CAL entries just in case 🙂 So cute!!!
Oh cool! I’m loving this challenge! Here’s my second project (though I confess, I’ve made three duckies during this time as well!)
Looking forward to trying the ice cream, and my daughter loves the coconut and the s’mores!
Here are the duckies! 🙂
Hi Nicole! Oh my gosh those ducks all together…. TOO CUTE! They look like they’re in a singing group! That’s such a cute picture. Fantastic jobs on the duckies! The purple doily beneath them is gorgeous as well, do you happen to have a pattern for it? 😍
Thank you for sharing your super cute pineapple as well! It looks picture perfect Nicole 🥰 Everything you’ve made is just so fun and well done! (I hope your daughter pushes you to make the coconut because it’s really fun to make the straw for it) LOL 🙂
I hope you and your daughter have a fantastic day! Just love seeing everything you make. Thanks for giving me a smile ❤️❤️
Sure thing! Here’s the link for the doily/coaster! It took me a bit to find it again. 🙂
And my daughter is making a crayon!!!
And thanks so much! I’ve only dabbled in crochet before now (though my grandmother was a master, and my aunt made me crocheted toys when I was a baby!). Your designs are so easy to follow, cute, and well-executed! They’ve really helped me to challenge myself over the last few months! (Yep–definitely my quarantine skill. It’s nice to make happy things!)
Thank you so much for linking to that awesome coaster! It’s so pretty that I think it looks like a doily 😍 Definitely going to make it!
Yay your daughter is making the crayon! I hope she likes it, it’s pretty fun and easy to make since most of it is a tube LOL 🙂 Take a picture when she’s done! I’m curious what colors she’s using.
That’s so sweet your grandmother and aunt crocheted, those handmade toys are so special ❤️ I think it’s really cool that you really learned more about crochet recently! It’s a skill you’ll be happy to have 🙂 You can crochet cute things for others and have a nice hobby that’s relaxing! Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️ I hope to bring you so many more fun patterns in the future. Looking forward to making Christmas patterns for sure!
I have been looking for the perfect pineapple pattern for a while. I finally found it! I love this guy!
Aw that is so nice to hear! ❤️ He’s so cute and super professional looking! I’m in love with that green color you chose by the way 🙂 It’s like the perfect shade of green! Thank you so much for sharing Jenni ❤️ I’m in love with it!
He is so adorable!
Love this pattern! Decided to add a coconut bra 🙂
AWWW cute!!! Haha the coconut bra goes so well with her skirt, love that you did that! Thank you so much for sharing your penguin. That really brings a smile to my face. Glad to hear that you loved the pattern too! Yay 🙂
Awesome pattern 😀
Awww you made the palm tree! It looks so cuuute 🙂 I love that you changed color for the “indents” of the tree, that’s a really smart idea! Thank you so much for sharing a picture of the palm tree, I hope you had fun making it 😊 Happy crocheting, lovely!
Here is my super cute penguin 😋
It was super fun and easy to make and I’m just totally in love with it!😍
Thank you for this AMAZING pattern!!!
Here is my super cute, funny looking penguin which I’m totally in love with.😍 He was super fun and easy to make thank you for this totally amazing pattern!!☺️
Accidentally did this twice whoops.😅
Hi Bella! (Haha no worries about accidentally posting twice! I do that too 😛) Awwww the penguin is so fun and SUPER cute! I’m so happy you made it and showed your finished work 😍 I just can’t get over how fun and colorful it is ❤️ I’m so glad you had a fun time making it too. You did an A+ job on it, everything looks so cute! Thanks so much Bella for sharing again ❤️
Made a little ice cream today… thinking of making a few more too….
Oh wow I totally love that tiny ice cream! I really like the bigger eyes you chose too, it makes it look so much more “kawaii” 😍 The little ice creams are kind of addicting to make, right? Haha thank you so much for sharing, I always love to see what you make Maureen! ❤️❤️❤️
Made a scraps ice cream today… I thought he needed some toppings…
Haha cuuuuute ❤️❤️❤️ He reminds me of a patriotic ice cream with the red white and blue. The sparkly blue is really cute, it looks like little sugars in the ice cream! Thank you for sharing! I just love it ❤️
hi
Hi Nazmin! I hope you like the amigurumis in this summer CAL 😊
im waiting for the smores amigurumi ,
i love it
i love the pineapple to
Aw that’s awesome! The smore amigurumi just got released, you should give it a try 🙂 It’s pretty quick and really cute ❤️
im going to try to make it
because this is my first time making amigurumi and crocheting
No way! That’s so awesome 🙂 Wow I’m really excited for you, I hope you have a fun time trying out crochet AND amigurumi. There is definitely a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s kind of like riding a bike. You get used to it and remember it pretty easily! I’m so excited to see what you make ❤️
Here’s my ice cream!! So cute! I love the clever way you made it look like a “scoop” at the base! You know–the ice cream ruffles!
Awww yes you made an ice cream! Haha I’m happy you like the ruffles for the scoop. I got to admit, that’s my favorite part of the pattern. That same technique is used in this cupcake pattern: https://stringydingding.com/cupcake-amigurumi-free-crochet-pattern/
The cupcake kind of looks like the ice cream too! You did a fantastic job as always Nicole! I love the cone color ❤️
Here’s my coconut! The straw was so clever–but I did find attaching it to be a challenge! Also posting a pic of my summer collection so far!
WOW! I looooove the coconut a lot! I’m so happy you made it 😁 The straw looks really good too. It is a bit of a challenge to sew it onto the coconut like you mentioned, but in the end it definitely looks super cute 🙂 Cute cute cute!
Here’s my crochet-along family! 🙂
They look awesome all together! What a fun little amigurumi family, and hopefully a memory of a fun summer 😁
Definitely!! 😀 <3
Here’s my teeny tiny ice cream cone!
Adorable job on him! It’s so small and cute 😍 I really like the smile too, such a cheery and fun amigurumi!! Thanks you so much for sharing 🙂
Here’s my tropical penguin. Hope to make a partner for him later.
Awww he looks FANTASTIC! You did a great job on him, especially for it being so detailed and having so many little parts. I really like it 😍 Please do share if you make him his hula girl! I know they’d look so cute together 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing, it looks so good ❤️
Thank you for sharing the pattern! And all your great patterns! I have also made Tux and a flock of ducks!
Aw that’s so awesome to hear! It sounds like you have a love for birds 😍 How can you not, they’re adorable! Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your penguin ❤️ So very cute!
When are you doing another one of these? They are all sooooo cute and I want to try a crochet along!
Hi there, Trinity! I’m thinking of doing another one this summer, actually. I’m not sure what to do for prizes, though. If you have any ideas, let me know! I usually do gift cards to the winner’s favorite craft store, but want to shake it up. Maybe a big yarn prize or something? I hope you’ll join along for the next one! 🙂 Be sure to sign up to the newsletter, because I’ll email you when the next one happens 😁
