PATTERN NOTES It is not necessary to use the recommended yarn and crochet hook to make this ami-
gurumi. Using a larger crochet hook, and suitable yarn, the amigurumi will be bigger
while preserving the same proportions.
The pattern is mainly worked using the amigurumi method. Work in a continuous spiral
without closing off the round with a slst. It may help to use a stitch marker in the last
stitch of each round, moving it up as you work.

CONSTRUCTION Legs, body, arms and head are worked as one piece starting from the boots.
All the other pieces are worked separately and then sewn together.

ABBREVIATIONS st: stitch/es


(US crochet terms) ch: chain
slst: slip stitch
sc: single crochet
hdc: half double crochet
dc: double crochet
2-dc bobble: formed by 2 half-closed dc worked in the same st, then closed together
dc-dec (2-dc cluster): double crochet decrease
reverse sc (crab stitch):
Rnd: round/s
inc: single crochet increase
dec: single crochet decrease
BLO: back loop only
FLO: front loop only
