4 2 CONTENTS HI! I've been a collector all my life, from precious minerals to fruit stickers, i've gathered it all. But my most fun collection so far must be my growing 'gallery' of amigurumi patterns. Every day new patterns are added as there's just so much cuteness around and so many talented designers creating unique characters. In 2012 I made a first book with 15 great animal patterns. 12 designers teamed up with me to create an amazing collection.

6 4 BASIC STITCHES BASIC STITCHES If this is your first time making amigurumi you might find it useful to have a tutorial at hand. With the stitches explained in the next pages you can make all of the amigurumi in this book. I suggest you practice the basic stitches before you start making one of the designs. This will help you to read the patterns and abbreviations more comfortably without having to browse back to these pages chain (abbreviation: ch) This stitch is the basis for many crochet patterns. If you re working in rows, your first row will be a series of chain stitches. Use the hook to draw the yarn through the loop (1) and pull the loop until tight (2). Wrap the yarn over the hook from back to front. Pull the hook, carrying the yarn, through the loop already on your hook (3). You have now completed one chain stitch. Repeat these steps as indicated in the pattern to create a foundation chain (4). Chain single crochet (abbreviation: sc) Single crochet is the stitch that will be most frequently used in this book. Insert the hook into the next chain stitch (1) and wrap the yarn over the hook. Pull the yarn through the stitch (2). You will see that there are now two loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook again and draw it through both loops at once (3). You have now completed one single crochet (4). Insert the hook into the next chain stitch to continue the row (5). Single crochet slip stitch (abbreviation: slst) A slip stitch is used to move across one or more stitches at once or to finish a piece. Insert your hook into the next stitch (1). Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw through both loops at once (2). Slip stitch

7 BASIC STITCHES double crochet (abbreviation: dc) Bring your yarn over the hook from back to front before placing the hook in the stitch. Now insert your hook in the fourth chain - without counting the loop on the hook (1). Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the chain stitch. You now have three loops on the hook (2). Wrap the yarn over the hook again and pull it through the first two loops on the hook (3). You now have 2 loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook one last time and draw it through both loops on the hook (4). You have now completed one double crochet. To continue bring your yarn over the hook and insert it in the next chain stitch (5). Double crochet 3 Half double crochet half double crochet (abbreviation: hdc) Bring your yarn over the hook from back to front before placing the hook in the stitch. Now insert your hook in the third chain - without counting the loop on the hook (1). Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the chain stitch. You now have three loops on the hook (2). Wrap the yarn over the hook again and pull it through all three loops on the hook (3). You have completed your first half double crochet. To continue bring your yarn over the hook and insert it in the next chain stitch (4). 5 Triple or treble crochet triple or treble crochet (abbreviation: tr) Bring your yarn over the hook twice before you insert it in the fifth chain from the hook (1). Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the chain stitch (2). Wrap the yarn over the hook again and pull it through the first two loops on the hook (3). Repeat this last step twice (4 & 5). You have now completed one triple crochet. To start the second row, you turn the work. You will need to bring the yarn up to the correct height to work the first stitch. To raise the yarn, make four chain stitches. Start the next triple crochet in the second stitch. Yarn over twice and be sure to insert your hook under both loops of this stitch.

8 6 BASIC STITCHES increase (abbreviation: inc) To increase you make two single crochet stitches in the next stitch. 1 2 invisible decrease (abbreviation: dec) The standard method of decreasing can leave a small bump or gap. The invisible decrease is an alternative method of decreasing which will make your decrease stitch look much like the other stitches in the row, resulting in a smoother and more even crochet fabric. Insert the hook in the front loop of your first stitch. Now immediately insert your hook in the front loop of the second stitch (1). You now have three loops on your hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw it through the first two loops on your hook (2). Wrap the yarn over again and draw it through the two loops remaining on your hook (4). You have now completed one invisible decrease. Increase Invisible decrease invisibly decrease 3 stitches at once (abbreviation: sc3tog) Insert the hook under the front loop only of the next three stitches (1). This gives you four loops on the hook (2). Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw it through the first three loops on your hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook again and pull through the remaining two loops on the hook (3). You have now completed one sc3tog. front loops only (abbreviation: FLO) and back loops only (abbreviation: BLO) When making a crochet stitch, you end up with two loops at the top of the stitch, a front loop towards you (1) and a back loop (2). When asked to crochet FLO or BLO you make the same stitch but leave one loop untouched. back post or front post single crochet To make a back post or front post single crochet, insert the hook from right to left around the vertical post of the next stitch according to the picture below. Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw up a loop. Finish the single crochet stitch as usual Invisibly decrease 3 stitches at once Front loops or back loops only back post front post Back post or front post single crochet

9 BASIC STITCHES 7 tail working yarn tail 3 working yarn magic ring A magic ring is the ideal way to start crocheting in the round. You start by crocheting over an adjustable loop and finally pull the loop tight when you have finished the required number of stitches. The advantage of this method is that there s no hole left in the middle of your starting round. Start with the yarn crossed to form a circle (1). Draw up a loop with your hook but don t pull it tight (2). Hold the circle with your index finger and thumb, and wrap the working yarn over your middle finger (3). Make one chain stitch by wrapping the yarn over the hook and pulling it through the loop on your hook (4). Now insert your hook into the loop and underneath the tail. Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw up a loop (6). Wrap the yarn over the hook again and draw it through both loops on your hook (7). You have now completed your first single crochet (8). Continue to crochet until you have the required number of stitches as mentioned in the pattern. Now grab the yarn tail and pull to draw the centre of the ring tightly closed (9). You can now begin your second round by crocheting into the first stitch of the first round. You can use a stitch marker to remember where you started If you do not prefer this technique, you can start each piece using the following technique: ch 2, x sc into the second chain from the hook - where x is the number of sc stitches you would make in your magic ring. Magic ring

10 8 BASIC STITCHES bobble stitch The bobble stitch creates a soft dimensional bobble in your crochetwork. Think of it as a cluster of dc stitches worked in the same stitch. Bring your yarn over the hook from back to front before placing the hook in the stitch (1). Wrap the yarn over the hook and draw the yarn through the stitch. You now have three loops on the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook again and pull it through the first two loops on the hook. One half-closed double crochet is complete, and 2 loops remain on the hook (2). In the same stitch, repeat the preceding steps twice. You should have 4 loops on your hook. Wrap the yarn over your hook and draw the yarn through all 4 loops on the hook (3). One 3-dcbobble-stitch is complete. Create a bobble stitch with as many dc stitches as indicated in the pattern. Bobble stitch picot stitch Make 3 chain stitches. Insert your hook in the first chain stitch you made (1), wrap the yarn around your hook and draw it through both loops on the hook. One picot stitch is complete (2). Picot stitch 1 2 invisible color change When you want to switch from one color to the next, you work to within two stitches before a color change. Make the next stitch as usual, but don t pull the final loop through (1). Instead, wrap the new color of yarn around your hook and pull it through the remaining loops (2). To make a neat color change, you can make the first stitch in the new color a slip stitch instead of a single crochet. Don t pull the slip stitch too tight or it will be difficult to crochet into in the next round. Tie the loose tails in a knot and leave them on the inside. Invisible color change 2 1

11 BASIC STITCHES 9 Fastening off fastening off When you ve finished crocheting, cut the yarn a couple of inches / cm from your last stitch. Pull the yarn through the last loop until it is all the way through (1). You now have a finished knot. Thread the long tail through a tapestry needle and insert your tapestry needle through the back loop of the next stitch (2). This way the finishing knot will remain invisible in your finished piece. You can use this piece of yarn to continue sewing the body pieces together. joining all parts First, pin together the parts that you want to sew to one another, so you can evaluate the results and adjust if necessary. If possible use the leftover yarn tail from where you fastened off or use a new length of the same yarn color from one of the pieces that you want to join. When the different pieces are open: position the piece on the body and sew all around it, going through the front stitches of both the extremity and the body. When the opening of the different pieces is sewn closed before attaching it to the body, you line up the stitches of one side with the other side and sew through the front loop of one side and the back loop of the other side. Use the same color of yarn as the piece you want to join together. Always make sure pieces are securely attached so that they can t be pulled off. Make small, neat stitches and try to make them show as little as possible. skill level easy ( ), intermediate ( ), advanced ( ) Every pattern is marked with a skill level to indicate how easy they are to make. If this is your first time making amigurumi, it s best to start with an easy pattern and work up to the intermediate and advanced ones. pattern structure All patterns in this book are worked in continuous spirals, not in joined rounds. Crocheting in spirals can be confusing since there s no clear indication of where a new round begins and the previous one ends. To keep track of the rounds, you can mark the end of a round with a stitch marker or safety pin. After crocheting the next round, you should end up right above your stitch marker. Move your stitch marker at the end of each round to keep track of where you are. At the beginning of each line of the pattern you will find Rnd + a number to indicate which round you are in. Although we usually crochet in rounds, occasionally it happens that we switch to rows. When we switch to rows, it will be indicated with Row + a number. At the end of each line you will find the number of stitches you should have in square brackets, for example [9]. When in doubt take a moment to check your stitch count. Abbreviations are used throughout the book. You can find their explanations on the previous pages. When part of the instructions repeat throughout the round, we place it between rounded brackets followed by the number of times it should be repeated. We do this to shorten the pattern and make it less cluttered.

12 10 BASIC MATERIAL BASIC MATERIALS yarn With every pattern in this book we list the materials used to create that design, including the yarn thickness used by the designer. Don t feel tied to the choices of yarn thickness though, any weight of cotton, acrylic or wool can be used as a substitute, provided you use the right crochet hook accordingly. The patterns don t give the yarn quantity. The amounts are rather small and will vary according to how loosely or tightly you crochet. You could use some of the remnants from other projects or start with a new ball of yarn. One or two balls of a color is usually enough. crochet hooks Not only yarn, but hooks as well come in different sorts and sizes. Bigger hooks make bigger stitches than smaller ones. It is important to match the right hook size with the right weight of yarn. In the table below you will find the standard hook size recommended for each yarn weight. For amigurumi, however, you generally use a hook two or three sizes smaller than what is recommended for your yarn. The crochet fabric should be quite tight, without any gaps through which the stuffing can escape. Using a smaller hook makes it easier to achieve this. Hooks are usually made from aluminum or steel. Metal hooks tend to slip between the stitches more easily. Preferably choose a crochet hook with a rubber or ergonomic handle. stitch marker A stitch marker is a small clip made of metal or plastic. It s a simple tool to mark your starting point and give you the assurance that you ve made the right number of stitches in each round. With my stitch marker I always mark the last stitch of the previous round. stuffing and facial features For the filling polyester fiberfill is advised. You can purchase this at any craft shop. It is inexpensive, wash able and non-allergenic. Be careful not to overstuff your amigurumi as the stuffing might stretch the fabric and show through. For some patterns safety eyes are used. These are widely available. Be alert when you apply safety eyes: once you put the washer on you won t be able to pull it off again. So be very careful that the post is where you want it to be before attaching the washer. Alternatively, the features can be embroidered, which is recommended if you re crocheting for children under the age of three. For embroidery a tapestry needle with a rounded tip is used.

Continue to do this, back and forth through both legs and the body, pulling the thread tightly each time, until you are satisfied with how the legs feel. The legs will be jointed and can be moved back and forth, but should feel tight and secure
