I usually just wing it, but since people seem to like them, I've started jotting down the patterns. I'm looking into opening an Etsy shop someday, but until then, have your wife check out this book for the basic body and head patterns.
Also this book is so cool!

I've made a few zombies and the robot before.
She did a lot of it custom but her base is typically based on a book she loves - Creepy Cute Crochet
Thanks! I make them up, but their basic shapes are based on two patterns:
I find that the pattern from Creepy Cute gets a little more of that chubby-cutesy look. Everything else is a matter of trial and error!

CROCHET THIS FOR ME
I want a hat in blue and white, like a TARDIS hat!
Creepy Cute Crochet is the reason that I learned how to crochet. You said 'cute', right? It's right in the name! (Yeah, okay...it's mostly monsters. They're cute, tho.)
My only complaint is that the pictures that go with teaching you how to make a magic circle are so small as to be meaningless. If you already know how to make one, you're golden. If not, YouTube.
Also, I think I recognize that figure (amigurumi): it looks like it's from this book. I recently got it as a gift and it's pretty neat! I've only done the cthulhu that you can see on the top right of the cover but it has a lot of other fun patterns.
Edit: I see there's also an Idiot's Guide to amigurumi that might help you. Haven't read it myself, but Idiot's Guides are usually pretty well laid out.
One more sit that might interest you is Ravelry. It's an online knit & crochet community and it has a lot of free patterns, and lots of helpful people on the boards.
It's called Creepy Cute Crochet. I have the same book but haven't used it yet. I keep saying it will be next! http://www.amazon.com/Creepy-Cute-Crochet-Zombies-Ninjas/dp/1594742324
I basically just use single crochets for all my amigurumi. I usually freehand them, and so I never really think of using anything fancier, even though I've done plenty of Irish crocheting, etc.
If you're hesitant about how to get started, a book like Creepy Cute might help, just to get you used to working with things that small in a structured way. All the stitches used in it are very simple.

Looks good! Did you make this from the Creepy Cute Crochet book? This is the cthulhu I made from that book. Yours looks slightly different (the tentacles), but it is still really good too!
Also, once I started using patterns, it really helped me develop my "free style" amiguri skills. So in short, good job to you!
I went googling and geeked out (and may have also squee'd) when I saw these.
Star Wars Crochet
creepy and cute
Also check out the Edwards Menagerie and Crochet ever after in Amazon.
I used a slightly modified version of the Grim Reaper pattern from this book: http://www.amazon.com/Creepy-Cute-Crochet-Zombies-Ninjas/dp/1594742324/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8
Hi, I didn't forget to find the link, I promise! I just had the hardest time figuring out what it was. Turns out it wasn't a YouTube video at all, but this [Craftsy] (http://www.craftsy.com/blog/2013/09/demystifying-the-magic-ring/) link and the instructions from the book [Creepy Cute Crochet] (http://smile.amazon.com/Creepy-Cute-Crochet-Zombies-Ninjas/dp/1594742324/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_1968491462?_encoding=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0&pf_rd_p=1968491462&pf_rd_s=smile-campaign&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1594742324&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0XP7ER03Z10ZZ16NZ7SN). The patterns in that book are stupid adorable.
My grandmother taught me the basics when i was a kid.. but all i could remember was the straight basic crochet and double crochet.. so i made a about 50 scarves last winter.. a bunch went to folks on here.. but i got this book. I had to watch some tutorials on youtube, but ive been slowly attempting some things.. mostly just making shapes till i get them right!
Your stuff looks great and more ambitious than mine!
