Angkot Bandung knitted amigurumis

I made a parade of amigurumi minivans depicting my hometown (Bandung, Indonesia) ‘s public transportation.

Angkot is short for angkutan kota (means city transportation). Bandung uses different colors for cars servicing different routes. It usually consists of 3 stripes : the base, the body (main color), and a small stripe to separate them. Almost all of them use the color green for at least one stripe, representing the city’s slogan Clean, Green, dan Flowery.

I love how colorful they appear, some of them look like candies! Imagine pink colored minivans!

My friend darkblu79 even documented these candy-colored minivans a couple of years ago and made a wonderful collage photo out of them.

Step 1: What you need

For this instructables you will need :
- worsted weight yarns, match the color with the car; black yarn for windows and doors, black and grey yarns for wheels.
- size 4 double pointed needles (set of 4)
- size 2 crochet hook
- carton (used cereal box, etc), water bottle cap, pencil --> to make wheels
- polyfill stuffing (or your old pillow stuffing!)
- scissors
- darning needle

Those look great, I like how you did the wheels.

[dendidong]

Thanks ChrysN

initially I was just going to make crocheted circles, but this way the wheels are sturdier, and the car can stand on them

Thanks!
