Time to Decorate!

I am going into this holiday season following a very fun trend – Jumbo amigurumi! This might be the new style for a little while, so I hope you enjoy! These jumbo plush make everything seem so cozy and I think that’s the feeling we all want during the winter and especially the holidays. And it’s the perfect kind of yarn we all need to keep our hands warm at the same time as working!

I am teaming up with JOANN to bring you these Jumbo Jingle Ornaments! It’s time to decorate and these are so fun and fast to make so you’re not stuck too long on them. Such a perfect holiday decoration project to have around the house or even some great gifts for your loved ones! 

JOANN has everything you need to make these extra special, and nothing screams more special than DIY! The yarn used in this project is Bernat Blanket Yarn and you can find it on the shelves over at JOANN or even order online! Jumbo dolls are here to stay so I recommend you grabbing some. Don’t have the space for it to  be huge? This pattern works with any weight yarn, yay!

JOANN still has many other items to make Christmas feel more jolly – I myself am a big component for making gifts. It takes a little longer, sure, but it always feels so meaningful when have someone in mind when creating something. And crochet is no exception! What are you doing fir gifts this year? Let me know in the comments!

With my newest project from JOANN, I wanted to create a fun food amigurumi that is a classic to pass around and share with everyone – chicken legs! Or I guess for the occasion, it can also be a turkey leg. Most holidays center us around the table and passing food around to enjoy and I think this cute project could be the cherry on top of the meal.

How will you be showing your loved ones your gratefulness towards them? You can think about that when you head over to JOANN to get all the materials for this really fun project! Down below, you can find the free pattern!

Rnd 1: 6 Single crochet into Magic Ring (6) (Click here for video tutorial!)

Be sure to fill firmly periodically!

Rnd 2 – 15: Sc around (6)

 

Finish off and sew the two ends of the handle together 

 

 

 

Assembly

Here is how my work is looking at this point, it gets a little messy!

To make it easier to sew, I would advise you to sew on the handle onto the lid before you place it on the project! With that said, sew into the center of the lid.

 

 

Continue filling your main body piece all the way to the top – with everything filled, you can now snuggly place the lid on top!

 

 

To add the extra detail, we will be embroidering on some snowflakes and face! Placement is subjective but from the front end, you will have 3 snowflakes going across the top and 3 across the bottom with one on each side of the eyes as well – here is a refresher:

 

 

To embroider the snowflake, insert your hook with the working yarn from the side and insert through the top left space you will begin:

 

 

Move over two spaces and down two spaces (stitches) and insert across:

 

 

Do the same parallel – go across and meet into the space that is two away from the top left to create an “x” shape.

 

 

Come out through the very side – pull along on top of the x and across the middle:

 

 

Coming out from the top center stitches in between the top two, pull through and go through the top of the center:

 

 

All done! Continue this around your entire project! And don’t forget to add on your smile and blush. I just used the same colors for the blush as I did for the snowflakes.

 

I hope you had a blast with this pattern and I hope to see some of them made over on my socials! I want to thank JOANN for sponsoring this project and giving me the opportunity to help bring the holiday joy to your screens and homes!
