🪡 Is this pattern right for you?

This project is best suited to crocheters who already know the basic amigurumi techniques and can follow written instructions.

You'll use techniques such as:

• Working in rounds, increasing and decreasing
• Single crochet (SC), chains, and slip stitches
• Changing yarn colors and working into front or back loops
• Puff stitches and joining pieces while crocheting
• Sewing, positioning details, and shaping the face

Some pieces are joined during crochet, while others require sewing and careful assembly. This is not a no-sew project.

You'll also find 7 additional crochet-tip videos covering techniques such as starting and finishing rounds, decreases, and color changes. An internet connection is required to watch the videos.
