The Hobbit Series (Part 3)

Fili

I'm excited to present the third installment of the Hobbit series! I was able to get this little guy done earlier than usual because I had some free time for once this past week (thanks to the snow day and delayed opening!). So, I proudly present the heir to the throne of Erebor, Prince Fili! :D

Look at him in his little fur coat :3





Here are some side views of the golden-haired dwarf prince!  His braids were a bit troublesome to make since they were small, especially his tiny mustache braids. But, it was worth it in the end!


And here are some photos from behind! I wasn't sure whether or not to put one big braid in the back of his head, or just tie it and let it be loose. As you can probably tell, I kind of did a mix? Whatever it is, I happen to like it! :)



Just as a little side note, Fili is pretty much the same size as Thorin, and both of them are bigger than Bilbo (they are dwarves, after all!). So, he's about 5 inches (or almost 13 cm) tall.

And of course, here is Fili posing with my pocket-edition "The Hobbit" book. 

I hope you all liked this latest addition to my amigurumi Hobbit series! I've been getting a lot more buzz on Google + and Instagram, so thank you for that! I also received a request to make Thranduil, which I am absolutely planning to do, but I wanted to make one more company member before I take a short break from the dwarves (they can be quite the demanding bunch for sure!). 
I will try to get the next post finished soon so that I can complete the request (which was on Instagram). If you guys want some fun behind-the-scenes or work-in-progress pictures, follow me on Instagram @justbyjanelle ! And, if you want me to make anything in particular, just send me a request either through my blog (Contact page) or Instagram, I'd love to hear from you!
See you next week! ;)

The Hobbit series! (Part 1)

Bilbo Baggins

So, after watching the end of The Hobbit Trilogy and saying goodbye to Middle Earth, I've decided to  take up a little project! I plan on making the entire company along with our favorite wizard Gandalf and a few of those lovely elves ;) They will all be made in crochet amigurumi style, which I haven't really done before, but I think I'm getting the hang of it!
After a few attempts and a lot of practice and research, I present to you the burglar hobbit, Bilbo Baggins!









Here is Bilbo compared to my hand. He isn't that big, just about the size of my palm. He's 4 1/2 inches tall or about 11 1/2 cm. Do you like the little buttons on his coat? :)

He looks quite ready for an adventure! If only he had his (rowdy) dwarves to accompany him... 

I hope you liked this first installment of my crochet Hobbit series! Check in next week or so to see which member of the company appears next!
