Tiny Armadillo

The thirteenth tiny thing is a Tiny Armadillo.

He doesn’t know what to do with himself since he isn’t dead on the side of the road.

This one is dedicated to my dad, who has been requesting a knitted armadillo for years!

Cute. I grew up in Amarillo, TX. That’s their unofficial mascot. Seriously the purl bumps make a great shell.

Thanks Anna! I’ve never seen one right-side up before. They’re really cute! I wonder why so many live by the road? Thanks for a long time wish granted. Love, Papa

I love this one too!! Some more ideas of me:
A tiny usb-stick, whale (i think this one deserves it the most i think, it’s the biggest living thing on earth), a tiny mold/microbe, or what would be cool to, a tiny monument (taj mahal, eiffel tower, big ben, piramid, borobudur).

Whatever you make, you make my day with every single one of them

Tiny flower

I just discovered your site and blog recently. I love your patterns! I have been enjoying your tiny things you’ve come up with so far. I just died of laughter when I saw the caption for this one. I did a cross country trip and saw so many dead armadillos in LA and TX. I was so bummed that I’ve only seen squished armadillos. This little guy is soooooo cute!! I am with everyone else who is begging for patterns, these are awesome!

How about…

a tiny pony
a tiny record player
a tiny frog
s tiny chicken
s tiny lunchbox and thermos

This one is really, really darn cute, though. And very excellently designed and executed.

Hi,
I’m a big fan of Mochimochi land stuff, and I was hoping you could make the following:

tiny cat (or kitty, as the case may be.)
tiny heart
tiny book

That’s all…pretty lame, but most “good” ones are gone.
#31 written by John

Those are good suggestions, C4K — in fact, Anna has already made one of them! Tiny hearts were among the first Mochimochi Land creations.

tiny bottle of cleaner

tiny hood ornament
or a tiny street sign

I love your blog and these gorgeous tiny things. Although gorgeous doesn’t seem like the right word. To bad. They are. Will have to knit myself a tiny ‘puter too.

What about a tiny swine flu virus? I think one of his relatives has moved in at our house. (cough cough )

i was thinking, maybe you could make tiny nailpolish bottle, or a tiny hair-dryer – that’d be funny

or a tiny oven (that eats things) or microwave
#36 written by Rachel

Not sure if any of these have already been suggested:

tiny dragon
tiny unicorn
tiny Pegasus
tiny headless horseman
tiny 4 horsemen of the apocalypse
tiny guitar
tiny polyhedral dice

My favourite so far. The knitted texture suits him so well. I also like the computer with mouse. I’ve made a tiny world globe before in paper over a foam ball (a bit smaller than a golf ball) and that was pretty challenging. I didn’t appreciate how many islands make up Canada until doing that.

I love the armadillo. It’s really sweet!
#39 written by Safiyah

Hi Anna,

I concur with all the above– great miniatures!
The armadillo is adorable! Have you seen Don the Dillo on Ravelry? I downloaded him months ago. He is super-cute! Would make a great big -er, gigantic brother for your dillo. The pattern is free! Best of all, he even can roll into his shield. My oldest son has requested one.

He is designed by gabytheriault on Ravelry.

Hope this helps! ^_^
