Tools and Materials:

  • ILoveThisYarn red (<1 skein)

Final Size:

Technical Notes and Gauge:

  1. Crochet in continuous spiral rounds, unless specified otherwise. Use a stitch marker or piece of yarn to keep track of the last stitch in each round.

  2. When filling with polyester stuffing, pull apart each large chunk into many smaller chunks. This ensures an even distribution of firmness within the amigurumi.

  3. I am using ILoveThisYarn, but you can use any worsted, medium weight yarn.
