3. General Advice and Tips


▪ Make sure your tension is tight. This will ensure that the stitches will come out neat and

no stuffing will show through at the end.

▪ If you want to make the toy smaller or larger, you can either change up the yarn size, the

hook size, or a combination of both. If you want a larger toy, work with thicker yarn or a bigger

hook or both, and vice versa for a smaller toy.

▪ When working in the round, start with a magic circle or foundation chain, then crochet

continuously without joining with a slip stitch at the end of the round. This will ensure you do

not end up with an inaesthetic seam. Use a stitch marker at the end of each round to keep

track of your position.

▪ I recommend using the Yarn Under/Yarn Over method when crocheting “single

crochet” stitches in amigurumi, as this will produce the more aesthetically pleasing X stitches.

▪ Turn your project right side out. The side that should be on the outside is the one that has

the neat X stitches (if using the yarn under method) or the V stitches (if using the yarn over

method). Another way in which you can tell the right side, is to go by the yarn tail from the

magic ring – this should be on the inside of the work. And yet another way to figure this out is

by the direction in which you work. If the project is right side out, you will be working clockwise.

If it’s wrong side out, then you’re working counterclockwise.

▪ Take your time with stuffing. More stuffing than you think is necessary for a firm shape.

Stuff as much as you can, without getting to the point where you’re stretching the stitches too

much.

Assembly
Place the legs on the bottom of the body, to the sides of the magic ring. Count five rounds to either side
of the magic ring and pin the legs (Pic. 1). Sew them on using the left-over yarn tails and a yarn needle.
After sewing, don’t cut the yarn yet. Arrange the legs to “hug” the body (Pic. 2) and anchor the tops of
the legs to the body using the yarn tail, so that they won’t dangle (in the approximate position of the
orange Xs in Pic. 2). Weave in the remaining yarn tail and cut the excess.
Place the arms with the last round about two rounds above the legs (Pic. 3), so that the front of the
arms sit on top of the legs (Pic. 2). Sew them on using the left-over yarn tails and a yarn needle. After
sewing, anchor them to the body using the yarn tail, so that they won’t dangle, same as for the legs.
Weave in the remaining yarn tail and cut the excess.
Embroider face details like in Pic. 2. Embroider the mouth between the lower part of the eyes by
making a three-stitch wide line with black embroidery thread (Pic. 3, points 1-2). Bring the needle out
one round lower, wrap the thread around the middle of the mouth and insert the needle back into the
body through the same stitch to pull the mouth into a curved shape (Pic. 2, point 3). Embroider
eyebrows diagonally towards the exterior half of the eyes with black embroidery thread.
Place the mushroom cap on top of the head, with the brim of the cap resting right above the eyes (Pic.
4). Push the back of the cap slightly lower than the front (Pic. 5). Use pins to keep it in place and sew it
all around the head using the yarn tail. Place the acorn on top of the cap and sew it on with beige yarn.

13-17 72 sc (5 rounds) [72]
Embroider Xs in random places to create a gradient over rounds 6-15
(Pic. 1). Over the dark purple part, embroider Xs with lilac yarn and vice-
versa.
Insert the safety eyes between rounds 17 and 18, leaving 12 stitches
between the posts and 7-8 stitches between the eyes. If you're using big
safety eyes (16-18mm or more) with thicker posts, you can make
inserting them easier by crocheting chains to form the holes in round
18. To crochet the spaces for the posts, pick a spot in round 18 where
you crochet:
Ch 2, skip 2 sts, 12 sc, ch 2, skip 2 sts (Pic. 2)
You may need to leave more or less stitches between the posts
depending on the eye size, just make sure the space between the actual
eyes is about 6-8 stitches. If you're using small safety eyes with thinner
posts, you can skip the chains and insert the eyes later on by poking
holes for them with scissors.

18-24 72 sc (7 rounds) [72] 3


You can insert the safety eyes at this point (Pic. 3). If you crocheted

of the magic ring and pin the legs (Pic. 2). Sew them on using the left-over yarn tails and a yarn needle.
After sewing, don’t cut the yarn yet. Arrange the legs to “hug” the body (Pic. 3) and anchor the tops of
the legs to the body using the yarn tail, so that they won’t dangle (Pic. 5). Weave in the remaining yarn
tail and cut the excess.
Place the arms with the last round about two rounds above the legs (Pic. 4), so that the front of the
arms sit on top of the legs (Pic. 3). Sew them on using the left-over yarn tails and a yarn needle. After
sewing, anchor them to the body using the yarn tail, so that they won’t dangle, same as for the legs.
Weave in the remaining yarn tail and cut the excess.
Embroider face details like in Pic. 3. Embroider the mouth between the lower part of the eyes by
making a three-stitch wide line with black embroidery thread (Pic. 3, points 1-2). Bring the needle out
one round lower, wrap the thread around the middle of the mouth and insert the needle back into the
body through the same stitch to pull the mouth into a curved shape (Pic. 3, point 3). Embroider
eyebrows diagonally towards the exterior half of the eyes with black embroidery thread.
Place the mushroom cap on top of the head, with the brim of the cap resting right above the eyes (Pic.
3-4). Push the back of the cap slightly lower than the front (Pic. 4). Use pins to keep it in place and sew
it all around the head using the yarn tail. Pin the butterfly to the cap and sew it on with black yarn.

13-17 72 sc (5 rounds) [72]
Insert the safety eyes between rounds 17 and 18, leaving 12 stitches
between the posts and 7-8 stitches between the eyes. If you're using big
safety eyes (16-18mm or more) with thicker posts, you can make
inserting them easier by crocheting chains to form the holes in round
18. To crochet the spaces for the posts, pick a spot in round 18 where
you crochet:
Ch 2, skip 2 sts, 12 sc, ch 2, skip 2 sts (Pic. 1)
You may need to leave more or less stitches between the posts depending
on the eye size, just make sure the space between the actual eyes is about
6-8 stitches. If you're using small safety eyes with thinner posts, you can
skip the chains and insert the eyes later on by poking holes for them with
scissors.
18-25 72 sc (8 rounds) [72]
You can insert the safety eyes at this point (Pic. 2). If you crocheted holes
for them, insert them into the holes. Otherwise poke holes with the help
of scissors. In the next two rounds you will alternate the stitches
between light yellow and yellow to make the wavy motif. Don’t cut the
alternating colors between each color change, instead drag them along
through the back until you are don’t with them .

Cut the yarn and F.O. Next you will crochet the top and the body
together. Position the piece inside out (Pic. 6) and place it over the top
of the body, aligning the last round of the top with the last round of the
body. Attach yarn through both pieces together as shown in Pic. 7 and
crochet counterclockwise through both pieces together.
P a g e | 23

While crocheting the two pieces together in round 18, start stuffing the 9 11
body lightly around the funnel, making sure you don’t add too much
stuffing. When you are ¾ done with crocheting the pieces together, take
a long string of light yellow yarn and a yarn needle, and insert the yarn
through the bottom of the body (Pic. 9), up through the body and out
through the magic ring of the top. Then insert the needle back through
an adjacent stitch to the magic ring (Pic. 10) and back down through the
body and out the bottom of the body, through a stitch adjacent to the
first entry point (Pic. 11). Pull on the two pieces of string together and 10
knot them at the bottom to anchor the funnel in the sunken position
(Pic. 12).

Assembly
Place the legs on the bottom of the body, to the sides of the magic ring. Count five rounds to either side
of the magic ring and pin the legs (Pic. 1). Sew them on using the left-over yarn tails and a yarn needle.
After sewing, don’t cut the yarn yet. Arrange the legs to “hug” the body (Pic. 3) and anchor the tops of
the legs to the body using the yarn tail, so that they won’t dangle (in the approximate position of the
black Xs in Pic. 3). Weave in the remaining yarn tail and cut the excess.
Place the arms with the last round one-two rounds above the legs (Pic. 2), so that the front of the arms
sit on top of the legs (Pic. 3). Sew them on using the left-over yarn tails and a yarn needle. After sewing,
anchor them to the body using the yarn tail, so that they won’t dangle, same as for the legs. Weave in
the remaining yarn tail and cut the excess.
Embroider face details like in Pic. 3. Embroider the mouth between the lower part of the eyes by
making a one-stitch wide line with black embroidery thread. Embroider eyebrows diagonally towards
the exterior half of the eyes with black embroidery thread. Embroider a nose with light yellow yarn by
making a two-stitch wide line between the middle of the eyes. Coil the thread a few times around the
line, then weave in the remaining yarn tail.
Sew the raindrop to one of the side ruffles of the cap (Pic. 4). Sew the semicircles to the sides of the
body (Pic. 5). Embroider French knots above each tip of the border between the color changes (Pic. 5)
