The Nintendo Switch released two weeks ago. While the most popular game for the system has been Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, a surprisingly popular launch title for the system has been Snipperclips. Snipperclips is a cooperative puzzle game where players play as Snip and Clip. Snip and Clip are pieces of paper that must work together to solve puzzles by cutting into one another to create different shapes to solve puzzles.
This week’s pattern is for Snip and Clip the main characters from Snipperclips. This pattern creates amigurumi figures that stand approximately seven inches tall. I would classify this pattern as easy to moderate because there are no difficult stitches used in the pattern but there several different parts that have to be made for the amigurumi.
Note: This pattern is provided for free so I would appreciate that it not be used for commercial use. You may not copy this pattern and then try to sell it. I would appreciate that this pattern not be copied and posted in its’ entirety on other websites. Feel free to post images of your completed works wherever you want but a link back to this page would be appreciated.
