Crocheting the Parts

The tutorial provides detailed instructions for crocheting each individual part of the amigurumi.

• Feet: Start with red yarn, making a magic ring of six stitches. The process for creating the magic ring is slightly different because of the chenille yarn. The next rows involve increasing stitches and then crocheting several rows of single stitches.

• Body: The two legs are joined with black yarn, followed by alternating rows of black and white yarn to create the striped sweater. Decreases are made in the final rows to shape the body.

• Head: The head is made with red yarn, starting with a magic ring and then increasing stitches over several rows. After the increases, the creator crochets several rows of single stitches to form the head’s shape, followed by rows with decreases to close the head.

• Arms: The arms are made with black yarn, starting with a magic ring and then increasing stitches. This is followed by alternating rows of black and white yarn to match the sweater. The creator notes that she does not fill the arms with stuffing.

• Ears: The ears are made with red yarn, starting with a magic ring and then increasing to a specific number of stitches. Several rows of single stitches are then crocheted to form the final shape. The creator also does not fill the ears with stuffing.

Assembly
