Free Pattern Roundup: Geek Amigurumi
I love pretty much everything geek. The geekier the better. So today, I was considering making my son a Kirby amigurumi and decided to do a pattern roundup of geeky amigurumi that I found. I hope you guys enjoy these patterns. They are all free!
Nerdigurumi did an amazing job with this pattern. It's actually a pattern for a complete play set with sword, shield, pig and chuchu. This is great for any Legend of Zelda fan (so, pretty much everyone). This one is on my to-do list as my family loves Link. The only problem? He needs a Princess Zelda amigurumi to complete the set.
My brother and I played MegaMan back in the NES days and I am happy to see that he still has a following today. This MegaMan is from MegaMan Battle Network so his appearance is different from his 8-bit days but this amigurumi is impressive none the less.
I tried Angry Birds when it came out...and rage quit. I have to admit that is a compelling game and I did go back and try again (and again and again). Also, the birds are really cute! The site also has links for the red bird, blue bird, pig and king pig if you want the set. I'm thinking an all-out Angry Birds re-creation in the living room sounds fun (hehe).
This pattern is spot-on! I always preferred Ms. Pac-Man over Pac-Man simply because she was a woman and back then, not many games featured a female lead. Here she is in all her glory. I have to make this one.
For all the D&Ders, your very own plushie D-20! Not much more to say about this, it is what it is. Kudos for coming up with this pattern, though--it's a cool idea.
Sega may have stepped down from the production of consoles but Sonic still has a huge fanbase. Our favorite hedgehog has survived time and is still starring in new and upcoming games. Although it has been a while since we've seen Sonic in his glory, this plushie reminds us of the good ole days of the Sega Genesis.
This amigurumi is a character from Fairy Tail for those that don't know. I had to include this pattern as a good friend of mine is obsessed with this series, she just loves it. In fact, her family cosplayed as characters from this series--including Happy! So knowing nothing about this, I give you this cute Exceed (according to the wiki).
When I told my husband that I was doing geek amigurumi today, he said I had to find a Yoshi. Well, here he is--and looking good too! The biggest problem I have when searching for patterns that replicate something else is the details. I often overlook patterns because of things like eye placement or wrong color choice--I have high standards. This is pretty accurate...except those hands. Don't know how I would change it but all in all this Yoshi is the best free pattern out there that I've found and be sure to check the comments for pics of other Yoshis made from this pattern!
While I tried really hard to get patterns from different designers, I also needed this pattern to be included. It's a necessary sacrifice. My oldest son is a HUGE fan of Kirby. We own just about every Kirby game and we've had Kirby themed birthday parties (complete with a Kirby cake!). So when I think geek amigurumi, Kirby is at the top of my list, preceeded by only one other franchise below. This Kirby pattern is so adorable and even includes patterns for Super Smash Bros ability hats.
This is my favorite pattern on this list. WolfDreamer did an amazing job and the pattern can easily be modified to make a shiny umbreon. I love the size of this plushie and the fact that it stands on it's own. I have eyeballed this pattern many times but I think it's officially been added to my list. This designer has a ton of free pokemon patterns in the sidebar and they are really impressive so check it out.
