Dragon Claw Clutch Purse
by Hooked by Kati
This fun and practical dragon claw clutch purse helps you keep track of your phone, cash, cards, and other essentials at the ren faire. Amigurumi dragon claws guard your valuables and the thumb hides a magnetic clasp that keeps it securely closed. In addition to amigurumi techniques, you’ll also practice Tunisian crochet to make the carrying strap.

Sillie the Sprite Elf
by With Alex
From his antlers, to his long braids, to his Tunisian crochet kilt, the Sillie the Sprite Elf pattern incorporates so many fun details. You’ll find a link to the free pattern near the bottom of the post (look for the “Pattern Link” heading). But the scroll is worth it because this adorable character has his own short story. What’s even better, he’s just one of the more recent additions in a whole series of equally detailed fantasy character amigurumi patterns. Any of these would be great for a child or anyone who loves a good tale.

Saoirse the Mouse

This sweet little mouse amigurumi, with her tiny cloak and satchel, is part of a whole set of woodland characters, inspired by fantasy stories like Redwall and Lord of the Rings. They celebrate the joy of storytelling and are also made for play, with semi-poseable head and arms.

Mini Potion Bottle
by Stitch by Fay
These little potion bottles are a good size for crochet keychains and would make a perfect small item for crochet vendors to sell at ren faires or craft fairs. And although the free pattern is simple, there are countless options for customization. You could add a heart charm for a love potion or make them in red and blue for health and mana potions.

Yoki the Dragon
by DIY Fluffies
Let’s bring it full circle and finish off with another great crochet dragon pattern. I just couldn’t resist including this pudgy little kawaii dragon with his chubby belly rolls!
