Our latest pattern is a free Luna Lovegood Amigurumi! I love Luna and her crazy sayings (or perhaps they’re not so crazy!).
I must apologize for how long it has taken to put a new pattern up – life has been absolutely crazy with the end of the school year approaching here. However, it does mean that the long New Zealand summer holidays are almost here with plenty of hours to spend with my family, enjoy the sun and create more patterns! I can’t wait! (Although there is something decidedly weird about Christmas in summer – perhaps Luna would approve!)
In case you would like to make Luna some friends there are also free patterns available for many other Harry Potter characters.
I am planning on making a series of these Amigurumi dolls, so if you would like to request a pattern for a certain character (I’ll do my best!) please let me know by commenting below.

You can use any yarn and crochet hook combination that gives you good tension. Normally this would be a hook around two sizes smaller than that recommended on the yarn label. For Luna I used a 2.75 mm hook with 8ply/DK/Light Worsted Weight acrylic yarn.
