Learn about the talented amigurumi designer who brought
these adorable Smurfs to life!

Victoria Kairis loved watching the Smurfs

while growing up. Her favourite character
was Azrael, the malicious wizard Gargamel’s
long-suffering cat, with Smurfette as a close
second. So when she was asked to design the
Smurfs in crochet-form, she made sure she
did it to the best of her ability. Victoria
worked tirelessly to craft the Smurfs’
proportions perfectly, making and remaking
the dolls until they looked just like the
Smurfs she watched on TV as a child. To
celebrate her hard work, we spoke to Victoria
about her life as a passionate – and talented
– amigurumi designer.

Though she’s now a skilled amigurumi designer

with impeccable technical skills, Victoria didn’t
even know what crochet was until she was in her
20s. “I was on holiday and found the cutest little
bookshop,” Victoria says. “I really wanted to
support the small business, so I headed over to
the craft section and chose something to buy. It
happened to be a crochet book, and that’s what
started everything.”
Once she discovered she could make toys, she
was, as they say, hooked. She taught herself via
YouTube videos and made gifts for her friends and
family. She would adapt and personalise patterns
in order to create the perfect stuffies for her loved
ones, which then led her to create her own
designs. “Once I got the hang of how to make all
the basic amigurumi shapes, I let my imagination
take over and I just couldn’t stop!” she says.
Nowadays, Victoria creates original patterns as
Smiley Crochet Things on Etsy and Instagram. For
these amigurumi creations, she finds inspiration
almost anywhere. “I drive my family crazy when
I have to take a photo of everything every time
I leave the house,” she says.
“Once I have an idea, I draw it out and then “The biggest challenge has honestly been inside
