Yoshi Amigurumi

Pattern by AmbrosCrochet
Every part of Yoshi, apart from the belly and the boot details, is worked in rounds - do
not join at the end of each round.

Finished size: approximately 17.5 cm x 12 cm (6.8 inches x 4.7 inches)

Yarn: I use 100% acrylic yarn - Schachenmayr Bravo to be exact. You can pick whatever
yarn and colors work for you.

Crochet hook: 3 mm

You will also need: scissors


pins
tapestry needle (or needle and thread)
black and white felt
hot glue (or needle and thread)
toy stuffing

Abbreviations and stitches used: magic ring


single crochet = sc
increase = inc
decrease = dec
chain = ch
back loops only = blo
fasten off = f/o

How to read the pattern: rnd x → we are working on round x


(x sc, inc/dec) * y → the instructions between
parentheses have to be repeated y times; (x sc, inc/dec)
means we will work one single crochet in each x stitches,
and then work one increase or one decrease into the
next stitch. For example, (3 sc, inc) * 6 means: work one
single crochet in each of the next three stitches, one
increase in the fourth stitch; repeat six times

pupils.

Assembling

Attach the pupils to the felt eyes, and then


the felt eyes to the crocheted eyes - you
can use either hot glue or needle and
thread.

Stuff the eyes and attach them to the head;


they should cover rnd 1 to rnd 3 of the
head; the felt eyes should be on the same
side as the white part of the head.

11
Attach the muzzle to the head; try to
center it checking with the position of
the eyes; it should cover rnd 5 to rnd
17 of the head. Stuff the muzzle when
you're almost done with sewing it t
the head.

Attach the cheeks to the sides of the


head, one stitch from the muzzle and
1 or 2 rounds under the eyes; they
should cover rnd 5 to rnd 13 of the
head. Stuff the cheeks when you're
almost done with sewing them to the
head.

12
Attach the spikes to the eyes and head; the
first spike should go from in between the
middle of the eyes to rnd 5 of the head; the
second one from rnd 7 to rnd 11 of the
head; the third one from rnd 13 to rnd 17
of the head, possibly following a straight
line.

Attach the belly to the body; start from the


last round of the body and keep the belly as
straight as possible; it should reach
approximately rnd 7 of the body.

Attach the arms to the body; they should cover rnd 16 to rnd 22 of the body; the top
corner of the arm should be placed two stitches away from the belly.

13
Place the boot details on each boot,
wrapping it around rnd 13 and rnd
14 of the leg; sew the two ends
together and then the boot detail to
the leg.

Attach the legs to the body; the top of the


legs should be , compared to the top of the
arms, 4 stitches deeper into the body. They
should cover rnd 7 to rnd 11 of the body.

14
Attach the tail to the body; try to center
it counting an equal amount of stitches
from the legs on both sides (I got 2 or 3
stitches from each leg). The tail should
cover rnd 4 to rnd 16 of the body.

Fold the white edge of the shell and give


it a couple of stitches to make sure it
doesn't unfold.

15
Attach the shell to the body - it should
cover rnd 24 to rnd 16 of the body and
then cover a bit of the tail as well.

Attach the head to the body - cut two


small black felt circles to make the nose
and attach them to the muzzle using hot
glue or needle and thread.
