Skill Level & Terminology

Materials & Tools

  • Yarn: Worsted or DK weight in two colors: beige (for the face, ears, and legs) and cream or white (for the body and wool).
  • Crochet Hook: 3.0 mm or 3.5 mm (or suitable size for your chosen yarn).
  • Notions: 4mm safety eyes, stitch marker, polyester stuffing, yarn needle, sewing pins, scissors.

Gauge

Gauge is not essential for amigurumi, but tight stitches are recommended to prevent stuffing from showing. Reference gauge: 14 single crochet stitches and 16 rows = 2" (5 cm) square using a 3.5mm hook and DK yarn.


Abbreviations

  • sc - single crochet
  • inc - increase (2 single crochets in same stitch)
  • dec - decrease (single crochet 2 together)
  • sl st - slip stitch
  • MR - magic ring
  • BLO - back loop only

Special Stitch Instructions

  • Magic Ring (MR): Form a loop and work stitches into it for a tight, seamless start.
  • Back Loop Only (BLO): Work stitches into the back loop of each stitch only, leaving a ridge for attaching "wool."
  • Chain-3 Slip Stitch Loop: To create wool texture, chain 3, slip stitch in the same front loop, repeating this in every free front loop around the opening.

The Chain-3 Slip Stitch Loop is a simple crochet technique that creates a small, decorative loop. It involves making three chain stitches followed by a slip stitch to form a secure, rounded loop. This technique adds texture and detail, often used in edging, embellishments, or connecting motifs in crochet projects.


Finished Size

Approximately 11-12 cm (4.5 inches) tall when completed using DK yarn and a 3.5mm hook.
