A basic amigurumi human base for you to edit into your own characters. If you click through the photos above you can see two of my edits - Finnick Odair from the Hunger Games and Ajani Goldman from Magic the Gathering (also to be given their own pages). Go crazy, edit it how you like! I will make a female version soon too.

Once you’ve got your body assembled, embroider on your face. I used DK wool for the eyes, but use your favourite method – felt, safety eyes, whatever. Make it your own.
Finally add some hair. To see how to do this particular hair style, see my blog here: http://amiguruthi.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/midweek-squee-base-edit/#more-113 It's a bit hard to summarise into a few boxes on CO+K!
Edit your base however you wish, and be sure to post your version so that I can see it! You’re welcome to post online/sell any creations as your own too, just give me co-design credit and don’t repost this pattern anywhere (feel free to post patterns for the additions you make but link back here for the base pattern).
