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.

Gauge isn’t important for this pattern. Just make sure your stitches are tight to avoid stuffing show through. My finished Flower Gal measures approximately 7.5 inches tall.

Make pieces in the order presented
Not all yarns are created equal! Yarns listed as the same weight (e.g. worsted) frequently differ in size and stretch. Knitcraft Cotton Blend DK is on the thicker end of DK weight yarns.
To change color, take the last yarn over of st with new color. Continue working with new color.
My favorite method of attaching pieces is the Amigurumi Seamless Join Method by June Gilbank of Planet June.
