About copyright: you can do whatever you like with the pattern, it is really nice when
people like what I have designed, but please it would be nice to reference where you
have found it!
If there is anything you do not understand or there are any mistakes, please, send
me a message! I write the patterns as a way of remembering what I have done. They
haven’t been tested.
As you can see in the way I write, English is not my first language. So, you could
come across some mistakes and grammatical inconsistencies. Sorry and my
apologies!
ABOUT YARN:
Use any yarn you like. I’ve used an acrylic yarn quite chunky, 50 gr=50 meters.
I’ve used 4 skeins in fucsia, 4.5 skeins in green and 0.3 skeins in yellow.
ABOUT GAUGE:
It is not important, as far as you are consistent with your tension.
ABOUT HOOK:
It depends on the yarn. I’ve used a 4 mm hook, so the stitches were tight as required
in amigurumi. If I had used the yarn for a scarf, the hook would have been a 5 or 5.5
mm.
Joining petals:
The final row of each petal has 12 stitches, we are not stuffing the petals, so, flatten
them: now we have 6 stitches (double thickness).
We are going to overlap slightly each petal with the following, place one petal on top
of any other in a way that only 2 chains overlap:
Beginning on the 3rd st and working through both sides of the petal, sc in this stitch
and the following, then sc in next two stitches but working through both petals .
Repeat this for all the petals. Finally, close the circle working through the last 2
stitches of petal 10 and the first two stitches of petal 1:
Head: face
Using yellow:
Round 1: magic ring, 6 sc (alternatively, 2 ch and 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook).
Round 2: 2sc in next 6 st, (12 sts)
Round 3: [2sc in next st, 1sc in next st] repeat 6 times (18 sts)
Round 4: [1sc in next st., 2sc in next st, 1sc in next st] repeat 6 times (24 sts)
Round 5: [2sc in next st, 1sc in next 2st] repeat 6 times (30 sts)
Round 6: [1sc in next 2st., 2sc in next st, 1sc in next 3st] repeat 6 times (36 sts)
Round 7: [2sc in next st, sc in next 17st] repeat 2 times (38 sts)
Round 8-9: sc in each st across (38sts)
Round 10: working in FLO, [sl st, picot, sl st in next st] repeat 19 times
Using the unused back loop of round 10, join the face to the petals:
Eyes can be attached and mouth embroidered.
Body (green)
Using green.
We’ll join together the legs, the body is worked bottom up.
This draw summarizes what we have to do to join legs in the first round of the body:
Round 1:Two slip stitches to join both legs, and then sc in all the remaining stitches
(28 st). Note: at the joining points you can reinforce them with an additional sc,
if so, the final number of stitches would be 30.
Round 2: case a) if you finished round 1 with 30 stitches: sc in every st across (30
st). Case b) if you finished round 1 with 28 stitches: [2sc in next st, sc in next
13 st] repeat 2 times (30 st).
Round 3: [2sc in next st, sc in next 4 st] repeat 6 times (36 st)
Note: in the following rounds we are going to make two increases in each round, as
the desired body shape is:
The increases will be made at the sides: (from round 14 onwards, this
approach applies for decreases)
Round 4: one increase at each side and sc in the remaining st (38 st)
Round 5-6: sc in each st across (38st)
Round 7: one increase at each side and sc in the remaining st (40 st)
Round 8-9: sc in each st across (40st)
Round 10: one increase at each side and sc in the remaining st (42 st)
Round 11-13: sc in each st across (42st)
This round we sc in each st of the arms and body, taken care when placing the
arms. So we have 12+26+12=50 st
Round 28: one decrease at each side and sc in the remaining st (48 st)
Round 29: [sc2tog, sc in next 4 st] repeat 8 times (40 st)
Round 30: [sc2tog, sc in next 3 st] repeat 8 times (32 st)
Round 31: [sc2tog, sc in next 2 st] repeat 8 times (24 st)
Round 32: [sc2tog] repeat 12 times (12 st)
