So gift idea for his birthday? Obviously an amigurumi of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell... Anime style! ^^
Part 1: Making Peter Pan
You'd be surprised where I got the the pattern from for the head and body base... From a Cthulhu! Who knew that someone could make an amigurumi of a mythical, blood-thirsty monster cute enough to be a base for a chibi? Minus the facial tentacles of course. Clearly, Rural Rebellion can. ^^

PETER PAN
*After completing the two feet/legs (ankle frills included), attach them together with 6 stitches
Materials:
Monaco Yarn Shade #21 - Rose (2-4 skeins)
Monaco Yarn Shade #255 - Tomato (6-8 skeins)
Monaco Yarn Shade #12 - Blonde (2 skeins)
Monaco Yarn Shade #13 - Honey (2-4 skeins)
Monaco Yarn Shade #60 - Sugar Cookie (8-10 skeins)
Monaco Yarn Shade #10 - Chiffon (2 skeins)
Monaco Yarn Shade #65 - Cinnamon (1-2 skeins)
Crochet Hook - K10.5 (6.5 mm)
*A K10.5 hook is fairly big so like what I did with Plue, I took two skeins of yarn and crocheted them as one, doubling the amount of yarn I needed. So if you're gonna make this in a smaller size with a smaller hook, just cut the number of skeins in half.

*You don't need to fill in every hole, just enough to cover the head
*Here's a tutorial to make it easier: Amigurumi Hair Tutorial
*When the hair's all attached and done, pony tail it to the side. Keep in mind that you're gonna put a hat on him so make sure that it's not done too high.

Okay, making her was a toughie. I had to completely redo her after making the first one. For one thing, the pattern I adapted it from was in Spanish, so any further instructions other than the number of rounds and rows were a bit difficult for me to understand. Then there was the issue with the eyes... For some reason, I couldn't decide whether to use beads, felt or yarn to embroider them on her face. Well, since I couldn't make up my mind I tried the trial and error approach and yah... That didn't go so well. -_-
So I ended up with Tinkerbell Prototype 1 and thank heavens, no 2, 3 or 4 came after it. Phew! o_O The Chibi pattern was written by Silvia Usón.

Amidst my mishap with Tinkerbell, I accomplished this project in less than a month and just in time for my brother's birthday. ^^
So when I surprised my brother with the two amigurumi dolls... His face just went completely... Blank. As in no reaction at all. o_O Speechless and in awe perhaps? Hmm? Hahaha! Well, whatever that meant, I had a good feeling he liked it... My niece certainly did though. ^^
