Greetings dear community, the week goes by in the blink of an eye, today is Thursday you can believe it, however, we continue working and that is what keeps us sane in this fast-paced world, today I share with you an amigurumi with a very special reason, it is a portrait so to speak of the speech therapist who treated my son, this is a gift that we will be giving him soon, she is a super professional girl in her work and whom I admire for her patience and affection with the children who come to therapy, from her I take the best experience and the satisfaction that she achieved the task of making my son pronounce correctly, something that he had not done in the first 6 years of his life, my son it evolved rapidly thanks to the help of this excellent language specialist and I hope she likes the gift.
Proceso/ Process
For this amigurumi I used acrylic yarn and a #4 (1.25mm) crochet hook, I tried to make the figure look as much like the Therapist as possible so as an outfit I decided it would be the type of clothing that she wears as a uniform to serve in her office , for this I started with the black shoes, making an oval for the sole of the foot with 16 stitches, with the decreases I obtained the width of the leg with 10 stitches and continued for 8 rows with turquoise thread. I made the other leg the same way, then joined the legs with two chains which I replaced with single crochets on the next six rows, then switched to beige yarn and made six rows for the torso.
I made the arms apart with beige yarn, then joined side to side, made 2 rows and then 6 decreases per row until I tried the neck. I proceeded to make the increases for the head, until I reached 36 stitches, it is best to fill in the figure at each step, that way you avoid filling everything at the last time. Then I made the decreases and hid the yarn inside.
To make the blouse I used a nuanced thread, the idea is that this blouse could be crossed and put some buttons, as it is a very small figure instead of buttons I used some black plastic pearls that would work very well, after finishing this I proceeded to make the ears and nose, embroider the eyes and place some white pearls for the earrings.
The hair made me think a lot, because the Therapist uses highlights in her hair, I couldn't do this with a nuanced thread, nor could I use two strands at the same time because it would thicken the size of the curls, but it occurred to me that I could achieve them by doing the chains of one color and the single crochets of another color and in the next loop alternate the colors, it was easier than it seems and I think the only thing that is a bit difficult in this size was sewing the 24 loops to the head.
Resultado / Result
I am delighted with this amigurumi because I think that if it looks like the Therapist, I always say that whoever treats my son well has my love assured and the Therapist earned my appreciation and that of my son in the best way 🥰
