Crochet gift inspo

Just a hopeless girlfriend trying to think of a sweet gift I can crochet for Christmas. My boyfriend loves magic the gathering, Pokémon, Naruto, anime in general.

I really really want to crochet something magic the gathering related but I am having a difficult time finding a pattern. If anyone has any idea where I could look pleaaaase let me know :green_heart:

Do you know which is his favorite card? Maybe you can search that one by name? Please let me know and maybe I can help you find something.

Personally I would try to find a basic amigurumi base and put the details into it. To make it into the card you want.

I’ve seen the Magic card back blanket (Not my work - Reddit thread) before using Stitch Fiddle. OP didn’t post the chart though.

I found this bag of mana symbols: Crochet Saturday: A Magic the Gathering Dice Bag – wonderstrange arts

I’ve had this dice bag in my list of things to make for a while now- Ravelry: Dragon Egg Dice Bag pattern by Cindy de Vries not exactly mtg related but good if he has a nice collection of dice for it!

Otherwise I’d say a plushie of his favorite Pokémon- or maybe Naruto’s frog coin pouch? I’ve seen a pattern for that before I just can’t recall where

Thank you guys all for your suggestions !!! I can’t wait to make something awesome for him !!
I am still pretty new to crochet so I’m a little scared branching into new things but I know it’ll be worth it !

I do have a pattern that I got for a dice bag but I had told him about it because I wasn’t sure if he would use it or not. Ultimately he decided yes, but I feel wrong to make it knowing he knows I have the pattern. Does that make sense ?! :joy: I will look into this coin pouch that sounds like a sweet little idea that he’d love

I completely get that :joy: I don’t typically make my husband things for gifts unless I can manage to keep it a complete surprise- which is rare lol.

What works for me to have a perfect or nearly perfect amigurumi are:

Start ASAP
Read the entire pattern through
Double check you have all the supplies
STITCH MARKERS are critical if working in the round ( circles)
Inquire after size of safety eyes if not specified
Stuffing,- I fluff to wispy clouds. And put in 3x the volume
Yarn under ( look up technique)
Amigurumi needs TIGHT tension ( so stuffing doesn’t come out)
Start with small parts- legs, ears, but finish that part ( so all stitches in that part are consistent)
Do a little bit at a time so fingers don’t get tired
Be sure no one interrupts you while making- needs concentration and counting
