Year of the Horse pattern out now! 🐎🧧 This is my 8th Lunar New Year animal design. So far, I’ve designed the pig, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, and now the horse! (Thought I’m itching to redo the pig and rat… I’ll probably do it when their years come around again)

Meet Ruby the Horse! She has better hair than you and isn’t afraid to flaunt it 💁🏻‍♀️

Pattern is now available on ollieholly.com!

A massive thank you to my amazing testers for helping me test the pattern! I’ll be showing you their horses in a few days 😁

Happy New Year, friends!! I’m looking for a few testers to help me test out my Year of the Horse pattern 🐴

To apply to test:

🧧 Have a public account with examples of your work, past testing experience is always a plus!

🧧 Be able to finish testing the pattern in 10 days and provide constructive feedback.

🧧 Leave a comment below to let me know what yarn you’ll be using (I used Cotton in Aran weight)

🧧 Make sure you’re following me 🫶

The difficulty level of this pattern is intermediate and there are lots of parts that need to be sewn on. If you are not comfortable with that, this may not be the test for you.

Shares to your stories are greatly appreciated!🙏

Testers will be selected by Jan 12! If you have any questions about the test, please leave them in the comments below.

Thanks in advance!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Happy October!! Spooky season is finally here, which means we can finally start decorating! 🎉 But if we’re being completely honest, we started decorating for Halloween on September 1st 👻

Anyway, I spent the last few weeks redoing my ghost pattern to improve the shape and I also decided to film a video tutorial for it!

These little ghosts work up so quickly and are so versatile, I’m obsessed!

Find the full video tutorial on my YouTube channel and the free written pattern on my blog 😁🎃

Meet Bobbi the Yeti! ❄️ she’s a not-so-abominable little snow cutie who loves snacking on fish flavoured chips 🐟

This pattern is available in my shop now AND it’s on sale for 50% for the week! 🎉

This pattern includes loads of helpful photos, information about the yarn I used, as well as a guide to help you choose your yarn.

It took a lot of trial and error to figure out how to write the guide for yarn selection because faux fur yarn weights are all over the place. But I am happy to report that if you follow the instructions, your yeti will have a face/body that’s proportionate to the body! 😁

I want to thank my wonderful testers for helping me test this pattern! Please go check them out 🫶stuff

❄️ TESTER CALL! ❄️ Hi friends! I’m looking for 5-6 testers to help me test out my Yeti pattern. It’s been a long time coming, and I’ve made about 8 yetis so far to make sure I’m able to provide enough information on yarn selection.

Here are the requirements:
❄️ You must be following me.
❄️ You must have a public account with examples of your work.
❄️ Leave a comment below to let me know what yarn you’ll be using.
❄️ You will have 14 days to finish testing the pattern.

The difficulty level of this pattern is intermediate, mainly because faux fur yarn can be difficult to work with. You can also just use acrylic yarn and brush it out too if you’re not confident with working with faux fur yarn!

Shares to your stories are greatly appreciated!🙏

Testers will be selected by August 18! If you have any questions about the test, leave them in the comments below.

Thanks in advance!!! 🫶

Day 14 of - something white 🍙

Shoutout to all of my amazing testers for helping me test my onigiri pattern 🫶 please go check them out:

This project is the first time I’ve worked with so much white yarn. While making the onigiri, I realized how many undertones there are with white, and how a slight shift to warmer/cooler tones changes your end results!

I’m partial to warmer whites because shadows on cooler whites looks dirtier to me 😅 is it just me?

04/25/2025

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a few testers to help me test my new onigiri pattern 🍙 the pattern comes with a drawstring bag mod, so I’m looking for a few people to test that too!

Please read through everything before applying in the comments below, thank you ❣️

Here are the requirements:
• You must be following me.
• You must have a public account with examples of your work.
• Please tell me in the comments which one you’d like to test (plushie or bag) and what yarn you’ll be using!
• You must be able to complete the test by May 5. Testers will be selected on April 27 (you get about a week to work on it).

Please share to your stories to help get the word out about the test 🙏 thanks in advance!

Finally made ’s pikachub 😁

It’s been on my list for a while, and when I heard it was my RMT’s son’s bday, I knew I had to make this for him! It’s a really quick make, and Amy has a bunch of support videos for it too! ⚡️

New YouTube video out now!! I’ve been getting a few messages asking for my tools/yarn recommendations for beginners, so I’ve compiled a list and filmed a video for it! 😁 you’ll find the video on my channel (just search “Ollie Holly” on YT) or find the link in my bio 🫶

I also go into detail for what you should be looking for when shopping for yarn/tools. Share this with anyone who is new to amigurumi and may need some help getting started!
