Here is the fearsome crochet Alligator Loki Amigurumi variant! He’s green, he has horns, and has quite a bite! Make him angry and he might just snap your hand off!
So Loki has always been one of my favorite characters in the Marvel Universe. And when I was watching the Loki series and saw Alligator Loki appear, I knew I had to make a Loki crochet variant! I am burdened with glorious purpose!
I wanted Alligator Loki amigurumi to be a bit of a larger size, so that he’d be fun to take around during comic conventions or other events. So he’s not too small, but not too big. I have visions of cosplaying as President Loki one day, and having crochet Loki Alligator as a companion would be such a fun and playful accessory.
So, I went about making a long green body with short and stubby alligator legs, and complete with a Loki horn crown.
But for me, the very thing that makes Alligator Loki are the alligator like eyes! During my design process, I was trying to see what eyes would look the best. I waffled between black safety eyes, crocheted eyes, cat eyes, but eventually settled on getting this glass dragon eyes set.
Each eye set is different, and I think there’s quite a few that would make good Loki Alligator eyes!
After creation, Loki Alligator amigurumi had a mind of his own, and seemed quite set on creating a Nexus Event by appearing at the happiest place on earth, Disneyland!
First ride he wanted to go on, of course, was Jungle Cruise.
He felt right at home among the waters and critters.
Then he got hungry and I didn’t want him taking a bite of anyone, so off we went to the Tiki Juice Bar for a refreshing treat.
He met some interesting characters along the way, including this lady who seemed quite interested in his scales.
Instead of doing the eating, Loki Alligator almost got eaten as well! Luckily he was able to escape.
He met another green guy, who was a type of baby alien.
He even ran into Miss Minutes! Careful, I fear the Time Variant Authority might not be too far off!
Anyways I hope you guys enjoy making your own crochet Loki Alligator amigurumi variant.
I’d love to see what other types of nexus events he causes, so be sure to tag me with your projects on Instagram @ami_amour.
