LIT TLE RED RIDING HOOD NESTING TOY

Once upon a time in Lalylaland ...

a little caterpillar munched its way through a shiny red-cheeked apple. A lovely little girl
in a bright red cape picked the apple as snack for the way to her grandmother’s cottage.
On the way, she met a friendly wolf who invited her to lunch. And so they picnic happily
ever after.

 GENERAL ADVICE

1. For most parts you start with an adjustable ring („magic ring“ or „magic loop“) and you’ll go on work in a
continuous spiral (except the pattern calls for a slst to close the round). This means, you continue to crochet
directly into the first stitch of the previous round to start the next round.

2. Stitch markers are your friends! Mark the first stitch of a round to keep track of where the round begins.
This helps when counting your stitches to compare with the pattern.

3. Take care to crochet very tight stitches! If you crochet rather loosely, choose a smaller hook size.

4. If the amigurumi will be given to a child under the age of 3, please embroider the eyes with dark gray or black
yarn. Make sure that every piece is securely attached to the body.

5. Most important: Have fun!

 TUTORIALS

A INVISIBLE SC-DECREASE
01 02
Insert the hook into the front loop of the 1st
stitch and then directly also into the front
loop of the 2nd stitch (3 loops on the hook
→ photo 01). Single crochet as usual: Yarn
over, draw through both front loops on the
hook (2 loops on the hook). Yarn over, draw
yarn through both loops on the hook.

Note: This also works for taller stitches like

hdc, dc, or tr. On flat pieces with both sides
visible, you’d rather use the standard way to
decrease.

B CHANGING YARN TO A NEW

01 02
COLOR
Change to another color by joining in the
new color during the final step of the last
stitch in the old color as follows: work the
last stitch in the old color until the last two
loops of the stitch are on the hook, then
using the new color, wrap the yarn around
the hook and pull through the 2 remaining
old colored loops on your hook (→ photo
01). The next stitch you make will be the
first stitch in the new color (→ photo 02).

C FRONT LOOP, BACK LOOP,

01 02
BACK BUMP
Sometimes you need to work into just one
front back
part of a stitch. This might be a front loop
loop loop
or the back loop (→ photo 01).

Some instructions also call for working

into the back bumps on the backside of a 2nd
foundation chain (→ photo 02). back bump

D JOIN YARN WITH A SLIP KNOT

01
Make a slip knot from your yarn (do not place on hook). Insert hook into indicated stitch.
Place the slip knot onto hook and pull the slip knot through the stitch (→ photo 01). Take
care to keep the knot on the back of the fabric. Work into the next stitch, or make the
number of chains as indicated in the pattern (e.g., to start a new round).

Note: You can also just insert the hook into indicated stitch, yo and pull it through the stitch if
you prefer (without making a slip knot).

E STANDING STITCH JOIN
STANDING SC With a slip knot on your hook insert hook into indicated stitch. Yarn over, draw the yarn through the stitch (→ photo
01). Yarn over, pull through both loops on the hook (→ photo 02), finish a single crochet stitch as usual (→ photo 03).
STANDING SLST With a slip knot on your hook insert hook into indicated stitch. Yarn over, draw the yarn through the stitch and through the
loop on your hook in one go.

01 02 03

F INVISIBLE FASTEN OFF

Skip one stitch. Insert needle into next stitch, pull yarn through. Insert needle into the back loop of the same stitch that the yarn tail
is coming from (→ Photos 01+02). Pull gently. This creates a false stitch (closing stitch) that mimics the skipped stitch (→ Photo 03).

01 02 03
skip 1

G CLOSE REMAINING STITCHES THROUGH THE FRONT LOOPS

Pull the yarn tail through last stitch completely. With a yarn needle, draw the yarn through every remaining front loop - from outside to
inside (→ Photo 01). Pull gently to close the gap (→ Photo 02+03).

H FLATTEN THE SHANK OF A SAFETY EYE
Secure the safety eye with the washer. Then, carefully heat the plastic shaft behind the washer with a lighter and press the soft plastic
against the washer. Repeat until the melted shank builds a disk behind the washer. CAUTION! Do not touch the heated plastic with your
fingers! It’s very hot!

BEFORE YOU START 01

I highly recommend to use the x-shape sc for this pattern (→

tutorial, page 5)! It creates tight stitches which are standing
much more on top of each other, compared to the v-shape sc.
Also the shift of the beginning of the rnds will be less.

WORM

Make a magic loop from beige, work in a continuous spiral.

01. sc 6 into the loop (6) 02

02.-07. (6 rnds) sc 6

You do not need to stuff the worm. Cut the yarn, close the
rnd through front loops (→ Tutorial G) and weave in the end.

To add eyes on your worm, knot one end of a piece of dark

gray or black yarn. Make sure the knot is very tight. Cut the
short yarn tail close to the knot. Now, thread a needle with
the other end.

Stitch through the “head“ of the worm and come out on the
other side (→ photo 01). Make a 2nd knot very close to the 03
surface to create another eye, cut the yarn close above the
knots (→ photo 02) and seal the knots with craft glue.

APPLE

WORMHOLE

Make a magic loop from brown, work in a continuous spiral.

Tip: Do not crochet not too tight to make sure the worm fits
04
into the whole nicely.

01. sc 9 into the loop (9)

02. change to white, sc 9

outside the wormhole (→ photo 04).

Now, turn the piece upside down.

Cut the yarn, close the rnd through front loops (→ Tutorial

STEM

Leaving a long initial yarn tail, make a foundation chain of 6

07
ch from brown. Work along the back bumps on the back side
of the chain (→ Tutorial C), starting in the 2nd bump: slst 5.

Cut the yarn with a long rest and tie both ends together (→
photo 09).

Thread a needle with one of the remaining yarn tails. Then,

stitch all the way though the apple – from top towards the
bottom – coming out on the other side (→ photo 10+11).
Take care to not stitch through the worm and hole, but only
through the stuffed part!

Now, thread the needle with the 2nd yarn tail. Insert the 08
needle one stitch next to the one of the first yarn tail (→
photo 12), coming out one stitch next to where the first
yarn tail comes out (→ photo 13).

Tie the yarn ends and pull tight to give the apple the right
shape (→ photo 14+15). Then, knot the ends again to fasten
the ends, so that they can’t untie.

Cut the ends above the knot and separate the single threads
of the yarn ends using the yarn needle (→ photo 16).

Make a foundation chain of 5 ch from green.

Work along chain, starting in the 2nd ch from hook:

slst 1, sc 2, °slst 1 + ch 1 + slst 1° into the last stitch.
Along the other side of the chain: sc 2, slst 1.

Close the rnd with a slst into the first st of the rnd.
Then, ch 1, cut the yarn with a long rest, pull the end through
the last stitch completely and fasten the stitch (→ photo 18).

Thread a yarn needle with the yarn tail. Right next to the
19
stem, insert the needle into the apple, stitching through the
soft stuffing and coming out through a stitch on the side (→
photo 19).

Pull the thread tight and make a knot very close on the
surface (→ photo 20). Cut the end above the knot and pull,
or push the knot through the stitch back into the apple, so
that it can’t be seen from the outside (→ photo 21).

centered on the head. The 4 sts of the last row of the nasal
bridge are now in front of 4 corresponding sts in the center
of the edge of the white head piece.

Join the first and the 4th pair of stitches with a stitch

through both white layers and fasten the washer on the
other side (→ photo 45). If it’s to short to go through both
layers, push it through one layer only and fasten the washer
inside the head.

TIP: For extra security, you can flatten the shaft of the safety
eyes by gently heating the plastic shaft behind the washer with
a lighter and then pressing the soft plastic flat against the
washer (→ Tutorial H).
