Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.
WHAT YOU NEED / MATERIALS
- Worsted weight yarn in the following colours:
- Peach (I used Lily Sugar n’ Cream in Chamomile)
- Mustard Yellow (I used Loops and Threads Impeccable Yarn in Gold)
- Dark Brown (try using Brava Worsted in Sienna)
- Coffee Brown (try using Brava Worsted in Brindle)
- Black (try using Brava Worsted in Black)
- 3.0 mm Crochet Hook
- Safety Eyes (I used 6.0 mm)
- Jewelry wire for the eyeglasses
- Poly-fil or any polyester stufng of your choice
- Yarn Needle
- Scissors
STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS
- st/sts – stitch/stitches
- ch – chain
- slst – slip stitch
- sc – single crochet (using the yarn under method)
- sc inc – single crochet increase, 2 single crochets in one stitch
- sc dec – single crochet decrease, single crochet 2 stitches together
- hdc – half double crochet
- dc – double crochet
- BLO – back loops only
- FLO – front loops only
NOTES - I made this amigurumi doll using the “Yarn Under Single Crochet” technique. This technique makes the stitches tighter and appears more aligned.
- I also used a half-colour changing technique to achieve cleaner lines when changing colours from one row to another.
- When working on the hairpiece, I used the underside of the piece as the “outside” or the side that is showing. The curls of the strands will follow a natural curl towards the face.
