Hamster Trend: Now New—Crochet Hamsters

The thing with the owl amigurumis is really nice
but a trend like that usually doesn’t last forever, so you have to look around for more possibilities in good time
and especially when the old trend, in this case the crocheted owl, is still in full bloom.
I’m in favor of us creating a new trend:
Hamsters
Now that would be a challenge, wouldn’t it?

Crazypatterns creates a new crochet trend and conquers the handmade and pattern scene

so how about it?
if you don’t like the hamster idea, then something else. :)

P.S. There aren't any hamsters on crazypatterns yet—not a single one.
That's not very nice to the hamsters. ;)

I don’t think hamsters will catch on :-). Fish might work, or maybe turtles—if they haven’t already been trendy. 

I think fish are prettier too, and offer more flexibility ;)

Caterpillars are nice too and can be designed very imaginatively

All right,
then no hamsters.
I think cuddly fish are a bit unusual, because a typical goldfish probably wouldn’t really like being cuddled in real life,
but I don’t think that’s really the point of amigurumi.

but we could make more cat amigurumis.
I’m surprised that isn’t a trend,
since cats are so widespread on the internet as LOL cats and things like that.
But maybe the internet is already saturated with cats.
 

Usually, figures like that become trends because they can be shown on all sorts of things and then get hyped up by someone. I think that’s why the owl trend has stuck around so stubbornly for years

I’d also think fish would be really great, or seahorses too.

I'm always up for the hamster trend. If it stays with owls and fish, that's fine too.

Exactly
that’s how we’ll do it
the hamster fan will make a pattern for hamster amigurumis
how about that?

As for writing patterns, that’s best left to those who actually know how to do it. I can’t do that.

@Hamster: What are you crocheting or knitting at the moment?

@all: By the way, are these fish amigurumis still coming from the hype around “Finding Nemo”?
The merchandising business is still doing really well.

You could also do penguins and stuff, because of all that “Happy Feet” stuff / the films.
And penguins always look great too.

What about polar bears? Knut the polar bear had a huge fan base, even though, as far as I know, he’s no longer with us.
Has that hype already died down?
