He is complete, at last. No pattern to credit this time, because I made it up. Shout-out to nguyenlouis32 on sketchfab however, who uploaded the rotatable Sandile 3d model from the games, which I studied over while making this little guy.

Would you still love Sandile if it was a worm? (I will be adding legs, I just thought this looked funny.)

Using a pattern by Zrumova Olya, I first made a monocolour "test bunny" and marked where every round ended, to help me plan out the colour changes for this final draft fancy purple bunny. It was a challenge, and I used some surface-stitches to touch up the patterns, but I'm happy with the result!

I made this as a gift for a younger relative who is apparently a big fan of the Minecraft youtubers JJ & Mikey. I didn't have a pattern but since it was basically pixel art, I made a 2x2 square of single crochet stitches per pixel and sewed all the panels together. (Also I don't own the design etc).

Hobbii was my favourite yarn company up until a few minutes ago when I found out they've been posting about incorporating generative ai into their business. I guess it's time to cut them out entirely and start looking for an alternative yarn supplier. Sadly, Ireland doesn't have a lot of options...

Congratulations go to @pucaruin.bsky.social for winning the raffle for the dancing Toothless! Thanks again to everyone who entered.

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I'm all set up and ready to go. This is a little preview of my table! The den isn't opening for another little while, but I'm excited for my first ever dealing.

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

And wrapping things up for now, using a pattern by Carolyn Zaki Designs, here's the dancing Toothless meme rendered in yarn! This one is a bit of a special case, as it's not actually gonna be for sale. Instead, it's going to be a raffle prize! Available only to Ainmhícon attendees, I'm afraid.

051

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

For only the second time ever, I've made something up myself! I've got a decent stock of these little bones I made with a pattern of my own, in both plain white and pride rainbow varieties.

020

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Turtwig, a Pokémon I really like, that I made with a pattern designed by HanisCrochet.

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Paired with the gummi bears, we have this "jellybean goldfish" as designed by Darling Maple Creations.

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

This tiny little gummibear, made using a pattern designed by "Once upon a cheerio," makes up the bulk of my stock for tomorrow and will be one of the cheapest items on my table. Understandably, I think, given the size.

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

In keeping with the seal theme, I have a couple of these mini seals using a pattern from the book "Mini Amigurumi Ocean" by Sarah Abbondio.

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

This baby seal was made using a pattern by TheMaryJay, a 10mm hook, and Honey Bunny Big yarn. I'll be setting this one aside a little at my table in the dealer's den at Ainmhícon tomorrow, as the money from this (if I sell it, fingers crossed) goes directly to the "Seal Rescue Ireland" charity.

031

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Using a pattern by StitchSalamander, here's the Bell Beast from Silksong! It's hard to see in the photo but there's a cool segmented effect on the belly, made by using back loops only for certain rows. I was keeping this one secret for a bit because the customer was giving it as a surprise gift.

000

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

That's it for now folks, I had quite a backlog before I made this account today. But stay tuned, because I'll have plenty more works to show off in the future!

000

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

We've come full circle. Or full sphere? I made a second Spheal using the same pattern again by Veracrochetsstuffs, but instead of honey bunny and a 5mm, I used honey bunny BIG and a 10mm hook! Original Spheal and my husband for scale.

120

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Well, here's something I actually know nothing about, but I got commissioned to make it. Pattern is designed by Vector Monke, and it's from the game "Yeeps hide and seek" apparently. #crochet #yeep

020

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Using a pattern by "Kittens and mittens," here's Breloom! Honey bunny and a 5mm. #pokemon #breloom #crochet

040

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Here's everyone's favourite little musical bug, Sherma! The pattern is by Veronica Pearl. Honey bunny and a 5mm. #crochet #Sherma #Silksong #HollowKnight

091

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

This isn't a 1:1 recreation, but my friend who really likes this baby pear meme wanted a crochet pear and this pattern by DIY Fluffies fit the bill perfectly. Honey bunny and 5mm. #crochet

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Back to the books, here's a Snom from Pokémon Crochet. #pokemon #crochet #Snom

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Little frog on a lilly pad by "easycrochetplushies". Honey bunny and a 5mm.

020

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Another one from Crafty Tibbles, who does some very impressively detailed patterns. This time it's a minotaur! This is probably the most elaborate pattern I've worked on so far. #crochet #minotaur

020

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

A simple, cute little raccoon using a pattern by wonder crochet. Honey bunny and a 5mm.

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

I've yet to actually play Rainworld, but here's a slugcat I made for a friend that has played it. Pattern by DuckyDesigns. Honey bunny and 5mm. #slugcat #rainworld #crochet

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Back once again to the Pokémon crochet books, here's Magikarp. Fun fact, you can tell he's a male because his barbels are yellow, while females have white barbels. Honey bunny and 5mm. #magikarp #crochet #pokemon

030

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

This is my friend @laghairt.ie, and his twin who is also named Laghairt and is also my friend. Crochet creatures of myth and legend by Megan Lapp is an interesting book that lists modular parts you can mix and match, rather than individual patterns, and that's how I made these guys!

092

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Once again from Vincrafty, here's Dragonite! It was surprisingly difficult to find a shade of orange that matched just right. Honey bunny and 5mm. #dragonite #pokemon #crochet

030

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Crochetbykittengrll designed this little fella, the Bokoblin from the Zelda games! I had a lot of fun with this one, though I made a mess of the first arm and had to start over completely. 😅 Blooper pics not included. #crochet #loz #Zelda

050

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

I love this spooky ghost balloon. Designed by JustPeachyyyCrochet, here's Drifloon! Honey Bunny and 5mm. #pokemon #crochet #drifloon

020

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Another free pattern by Darling Maple Creations, here's their "Jellybean octopus". I thought it'd be fun to show people what happens if you use the same pattern, same number of stitches, theoretically the same amount of work, but different yarn/hook sizes. Suffice it to say, it makes a difference.

000

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

I've probably made at least 30+ "Jellybean goldfish" using Darling Maple Creation's free pattern by now. It was actually one of the first patterns I tried. No sewing is always a bonus for me!

000

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Here we have a weedle as designed by fluffandwhiskers.crochet, with a can of coke for size comparison. In theory if I just kept adding more segments, there's no limit to how long it could get... Weedle scarf, anyone? Honey bunny and 5mm. #crochet #pokemon #weedle

050

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Ah, my proudest crochet achievement so far. This one was actually something I did freehand, so there's no designer to credit but myself. Based on the "autism creature" from the popular tumblr meme, I submitted this to Scotiacon's charity auction in 2025 and it sold for £100!

030

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Another one from Vincrafty, here's a Dratini! Honey bunny and a 5mm. #pokemon #crochet #dratini

000

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Here's Arcanine, by Vincrafty! This one ended up being a big challenge for me, not because of the pattern, but because I was still too new at the craft to properly know how much yarn I'd need and I kept running out. I should redo it some day. #crochet #pokemon #Arcanine

031

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Parson the low quality photos, but here's Cubone from the Pokémon crochet books! This little fella is my husband's favourite. The skull was a challenge, as it's made in several separate parts that are assembled together later. Honey bunny and 5mm. #pokemon #crochet #cubone

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

The Mind Flayer, by Crafty Tibbles. I won't deny I made a bit of a mess of the decorations on this one, particularly down at the base of the robe, but this was some of my earliest work (I'm not really posting this backlog in chronological order). Honey bunny and a 5mm hook. #D&D #dnd #crochet

030

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

One of many works I've done using patterns by Vincrafty, who is one of my favourite pattern designers. Here's Tails the fox from the Sonic series. Honey bunny and a 5mm hook. #tails #tailsthefox #sonic #crochet

011

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

I wish I'd taken better photos of this one before giving it away, but oh well. Here's a baby hippo as designed by crochetbygenna, based on the famous Moo Deng. Honey bunny yarn and a 5mm hook. #crochet #moodeng

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Continuing with the Pokémon crochet books, here's Gengar! I don't remember the exact yarn (this is an old project) but I remember the brand was King Cole. All those little spikes were a lot of work to make and sew on. #pokemon #crochet #gengar

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Once again from the Pokémon crochet books, here's Lapras! Honey bunny yarn and a 5mm hook. (I decided against putting a lump of play dough inside it for weight as the book suggested, because that seemed like it'd be messy and gross.) #pokemon #crochet #lapras

030

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Also by Sabrina Somers, here's a psyduck made using Hobbii "Friends cotton" and a 2.5mm hook (I probably should've used at least a 3mm, it was difficult work with such tight stitches). #pokemon #psyduck #crochet

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Using regular old Aran yarn and a 3.5mm hook, this Eevee was made with Sabrina Somers' pattern from her Pokémon crochet book. I feel like maybe the eyes should've been bigger... #eevee #crochet #pokemon

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Here's a chain chomp, as designed by craftikarps! Honey bunny yarn and a 5mm hook. #chainchomp #crochet #mario

010

Cyril @cyrilscrochet.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

To start off, here's the little fella I'm using as my profile picture. Pattern by veracrochetsstuffs, made with Hobbii honey bunny yarn and a 5mm hook. #spheal #crochet #pokemon
