yours to do with as you choose.
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver White, Caron Simply Soft Gold
Hook: 3.5mm
• If you are unused to making amigurumi, I suggest making a test piece to
stuff. This way you will be able to tell if you need to go down a hook size to
minimize hole size in the work.
• DMR = Double Magic Ring, I use a double magic ring as it feels more
secure.
• Stuff the head and body tightly but leave the neck space only moderately
stuffed.
• inc. = increase stitch count by making 2 single crochet in the same stitch
• InvDec = Invisible Decrease--Insert hook into Front Loop Only of next 2
sts.[3 loops on hook], pull loop through 2 loops, yarn over pull through last
2 loops.

• Complete stuffing the head and partially stuff the body.
17: *InvDec., sc., sc.* x4 (12)
18: *InvDec., sc.* x4 (8)
• Finish stuffing body
• Cut a long tail (I leave 4 or 5 inches), draw through last loop made, pull
tight, thread tail on tapestry needle, weave tail through last 8 sts., pull to
close body.
• To Secure tail poke needle through the body and pull yarn through several
times, going back through same hole so you aren’t making outside stitches.
This is how the main piece will look. It can really be turned into any
animal/alien/monster you like.
➢ The beginning tails and color change tails can be brought into the piece for
stuffing. Fill out pieces with stuffing.
➢ The long tails on all pieces will be used to attach pieces to the body. Leaving
enough to weave through the body to secure after attaching.
