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.
Materials
2 balls of worsted weight or equivalent chunky yarn
8.0 mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
Stitch markers
Scissors
Stitches & Abbreviations
ch – chain stitch
hdc – half double crochet
BLO – back loop only
fhdc – foundation half double crochets
Notes
Finished Measurements
4.5 inches (~12 cm) wide for the ribbed sections
2.25 inches (~6 cm ) wide for the braided sections
76 inches (~193) in length
There are going to be a total of 13 sections
6 braided sections
7 ribbed sections (non-braided)
Each section consists of 20 stitches
Most of the half-double crochets (hdc) are worked in the BACK
LOOP ONLY, but I will state where to use them in the crochet
pattern.
Crochet pattern
Using an 8 mm crochet hook and working with 2 strands of worstedweight yarn at the same time…
Row 1: Ch 261, hdc in the second chain from the hook and in each st
across (260 sts)
From here on, all hdc sts are worked in back loops only.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, hdc BLO in each st across (260 sts)
Row 3-4: Repeat row 2
Row 5: Ch 1, turn, hdc BLO in the next 20 sts, [20 fhdc, skip the next
20 sts, then hdc BLO in the next 20 sts] x 6 times (260 sts)
Row 6-8: Repeat row 2
Row 9: Repeat row 5
Row 10-12: Repeat row 2
Fasten off and weave in the ends.
In the end, you should end up with six sections that look like the photo
on the top left of the following picture. I attempted to take pictures of
the step by step of the braiding process, but as you can see, I didn’t
get very far.

All Finished.
