Pattern Notes

• I use the *ch 2, sc in second ch from hook* method to crochet in the round. You can substitute for the magic circle, it just isn’t my preferred method.
• This pattern is written in US terms and is intermediate skill level
• When working with amigurumi, be sure to crochet tightly unless otherwise specified in the pattern.
• When tying off ends, you should assume that you are leaving a long tail for sewing.
• Have fun!

Insert eyes between R10 and R11 about 6 stitches apart. I like to embroider the eyes before stuffing the head as well. Start with white yarn and outline the outside half of the safety eye. Then using black yarn, create a top lid on the outside quarters of the eye and add eyelashes. See Figures.

Stuff the head with medium firmness.

R16 – *sc, inv dec* repeat x6 (12 sts)

R17 – sc in front loops only in each sc (12 sts)

(This is where the legs begin) Sc until you are at the center of the back of the body. Ch 1, sc to the sc 7 sts away (center of the front of the body). You are going to be creating two legs that are 7 stitches around, 6 stitches of the original round plus the chain.

First Leg

R21-27 – sc in each sc (7 sts each round) Tie off. Sew through the front loops of the 7 stitches and pull tight to close the end of the leg.

R21 – sc 5, ch 1 and then sc into the same sc as the slip stitch (7 sts)
