We Amigurumi. These intensely cute dolls can bring a smile to even the most curmudgeonly of I-hate-Mondayers. So how great would it be to see a sweet Amigurumi every month for a year?

Spacer 15x15 pixels Here's what we want you to do to help make everyone's day happier in 2012: Crochet your cutest, most creative Amigurumi and submit it for consideration for our 2012 calendar. The artists who design the thirteen selected Amigurumi will be published in the calendar. Spacer 15x15 pixels How it works

How it works

♥ Create original, not previously published Amigurumi. Images of the Amigurumi can have appeared on a blog, but the pattern cannot have been published. The Amigurumi must be your design and not derived from another published design. Amigurumi must be crocheted, but can be embellished with embroidery, felt, beads, eyes, or other adornments. Amigurumi should be two to eight inches tall. You must be able to provide a pattern for the Amigurumi. There is no fiber restriction, but yarn should be readily available for readers who will want to make your design in 2012.

  ♥Amigurumi can be any style, but should not represent a copyrighted or licensed figure.

  ♥Submit two images of each Amigurumi submitted, one front and one back, at crochetmecalendar@interweave.com. Be sure photographs are well-lit and in focus. Include with your submission a narrative describing your Amigurumi, along with a name for your Amigurumi. Please include your name and contact information.

Deadline for entry: October 15.

  ♥On November 1, we will post the selected Amigurumi on the CrochetMe blog at crochetme.com.

Please note: We reserve the right to keep the thirteen selected Amigurumi for display through December 31, 2012.

By submitting your work to Interweave Crochet and CrochetMe, you are authorizing Interweave to publish your project in the 2012 calendar as well as in other upcoming publications and promotional materials, and on the CrochetMe website. We will pay $175 USD for each submission chosen for publication in the calendar and you will receive a complimentary copy of the final calendar. Interweave cannot be held responsible for loss or damage due to circumstances beyond our control.

Good luck! We can't wait to see your little sweeties!
