Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share free amigurumi models with you here. In my article, I will share with you a model and how to make it. At the end of my article, I will share with you the detailed construction patterns of the mold.
Supplies:
• Size 6 super bulky yarn (I used parfait chunky)
• Polyfil
• Darning Needle
• Scissors
• Safety eyes (I use 16 mm for momma and 14 mm for baby)
• 4 mm crochet hook (this is what I personally use, hook size will vary depending on tension)
• 2 colors of yarn- I chose ballet pink & Hibiscus
Abbreviations:
• Dec– decrease
• Inc– increase
• Sc– single crochet
• Mc– magic circle
• ()– stitch count
• **– repeat
• Sc3tog– single crochet three together decrease (Click the link to learn how)
• SI st– slip stitch
• BLO– Back loop only
• FLO– Front loop only
IMPORTANT NOTE: this pattern is super minimal sewing. You will be working in the round and crocheting the arms to the body. Ears are no sew and crocheted into the round as well. Only sewing done is the snout.

Starting stuffing and shaping the head now and continue stuffing as you go. Make the head nice and round
You will now be starting the ears: if you want, use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the back loops of the front loops you’ll be crocheting into, this will make finding the back loops easier when moving onto the next round.

NOTE: If you need to change stitch count to get the ears where you want them to be you can do so. This is perfectly fine!
Eyes are placed between rounds 29 & 30 of the 7 total rounds of 42 sc- 5 to 6 sts apart. Just make sure they’re even with the ears.
