Materials

Hook: 5mm.

• Light blue chenille size 4 medium.
• Dark blue chenille size 4 medium.
• White chenille size 4 medium.
• 12mm safety eyes.
• Stuffing.
• Tapestry needle.
• Stitch markers.
• Scissors.

Notes & Tips

• Work with a tight tension so the stuffing doesn’t show through the chenille yarn.
• Start stuffing early and often to keep shapes smooth and rounded (especially the head and limbs).
• If the amigurumi is intended for an infant, substitute embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes for safety.
• Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round. An invisible join is suggested when fastening off where indicated.
• When changing colour (cc), carry the yarn carefully inside the piece or fasten off and weave in ends to keep the inside tidy.
