Soot Sprite Amigurumi Dollby ~coliescutecrafts

Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys / Amigurumi

There were two things I really loved about Spirited Away. Haku and Chihiro's relationship, and soot sprites. I loved those little guys so much during their few scenes and it has been a long term goal of mine to make them. As you can see above, some of them also raided my folding star collection thinking they were sugar stars. Silly little things

These little guys are palm sized and made from a very soft yarn that I thought mimicked the cloud/soot effect nicely. Now, unlike most other version of these dolls you might find out there, mine have 2 noticeable differences.

- Firstly, their eyes are not felt or crocheted, they're buttons. What does this mean? Why is it important? Well, since they're buttons, you're not stuck with one expression! The eyes can be rotated and turned to almost a full 360 degrees each, but 180 shifts are easier to get to stay for long periods of time.

- Secondly, they have pose-able pipe cleaner arms. Hang them by them, carry them buy them, give 'em a good tug. Anything short of actually trying to rip them off and the arms will remain attached to the body. Just like the eyes, they have a full 360 degree rotation ability. I've sewn them on nice and tight so that they could be played with.

Time: Approx. 30-45 minutes per doll
Materials: Yarn, Poly-fil, Buttons, Pipe Cleaners, Paper, Thread

Check for ready made availability of this plush at my etsy shop.

Susuwatari!! Oh, their called "Soot sprite" in English? Very well done! I loved their googly eyes!!

~coliescutecrafts Jan 18, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thanks! And yes, that's what they've named them in English (seems logical enough for me). Their eyes aren't 'googly' though. They're buttons. They can be rotated so the doll will look just about anywhere you like.

Wow! Rotating buttons, are they? Very interesting. That's even more awesome!

Do you still make these?

~coliescutecrafts Jan 12, 2013 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Yes I do. I'll be making more as stock for my etsy store this week, so they should be listed again before Friday.

I've seen al ot of these, and yours are the best! I love the expressions of the eyes and the arms!

~coliescutecrafts Dec 18, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

Thank you!

I've seen them before as well and wanted to do something a little different from how I normally saw them made. I've already had someone buy a pair so she can have one in her office, and one to have hanging on her husband's stocking Christmas morning.

I loved these guys... I always wanted a few of them to do my chores and hang out with me haha

~coliescutecrafts Dec 10, 2011 Hobbyist Artisan Crafter

I agree so much with this idea that I have a soot sprite positioned on my monitor so that it looks at everything I do on the computer.

~literary-hound95 Dec 11, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I need to figure out how to make some....
