I´m looking for free paterns of small animals or other things I can put on a baby mobile. I have already looked at the mobiles at crochetpatterncentral, but I want some other options....

this is a memeber here at Crochetville that has alot of cute little animals that could be used very easily...pig, turtle, lady bugs, and lots of others.

I have made all of these little things and I think they would be perfect size. Also if you can work thread any smaller pattern can be turned into a mini.

You could certainly do airplanes, cars, sun, moon, stars etc too :D

Yes, maybe airplanes and cars...it is for a boy. Do you know of any amigurumi car pattern?
Dedekorz, I´ve seen the birdie mobile, it was very nice :) But I just wanted some other ideas too.

Another idea would be to take a look at all the amigurumi (ami) designs and see if any of those inspire you, or fit the theme you have in mind...most are just the right size for a mobile. Then just take the assembly instructions (if you need them) from a mobile pattern, and have at it)
Peggytoes (villager) also has her milkcap cuties that could work too.
here are some other sites besides cpc(www.crochetpatterncentral.com (http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com)) that have ami patterns.

My problem now is to choose just a few cuties....REALLY hard!

how big? somewhere around a couple of inches...if they're all close to the same size, it makes balancing them easier...2-4" is probably ideal...but that's just my :2c

I thought this was colourful and funny http://home.earthlink.net/~altams/id5.html , but I need suggestions for other amigurumies that are at about the same size...
