I like to make amigurumi with a skeleton inside.
Of course, for children under 10-12 years (depending on their temperament) it is better not to give such toy into their hands (or at least not to leave them alone with it).
But if you want to make a gift for a teenager or your friend, there is nothing more amusing than a doll, that can be given any pose. This doll is much more interesting than soft toy standing on the shelf and leaning on the wall.
My favorite wired toy is my frog. He will be an example for this small tutorial on making a simple frame for amigurumi.
1. Make measuring:
- the distance between the fingers along both hands - L(arms) (for my Frog it’s 16 cm)
- the length of the Body together with the Legs and the Feet - L(body) (14 cm)
2. Cut 2 pieces of aluminium wire, the length of each one: ½ L(arms) + L(body) + 0.5 cm (= 8+14+0.5= 22.5cm)
3. Make a ring at each end of the wire.
4. Measure off ½ L (arms) - 1 cm along each piece and bend the wire 90 degrees.
5. Twist together the wire pieces as shown on the photo.
6. Try on the skeleton to the Body. If it necessary, remove an excess of the wire.
7. Put the skeleton inside the Body. The bend at the ends of the wire must get inside the Paws.
8. Fill the Body around the skeleton firmly, especially the bottom part.
This skeleton is very simple. More difficult option with a head part see in my pattern The Hare Family.
