• Crochet hook in suitable size (for me: 2.0 mm and 4.0 mm) • Stuffing • Bowl (approx. 20 cm diameter) • some cardboard or plastic (e. g. from packaging or something like that) • If necessary, pink crayon, textile pencils or similar

Abbreviations (US Terms): MR = magic ring sc = single crochet hdc = half double crochet ch = chain st = stitch slst = slip stitch inc = increase dec = decrease BLO = back loop only FLO = front loop only

The specifications of the wool and needle sizes are only examples/references. If You use other wool than specified, the figure will become larger or smaller. It’s Your choice which wool you use. The needle size must be chosen to match the wool used. When crocheting Amigurumis You should use a much smaller needle size than indicated on the banderole or You would use it for other crochet projects so that no holes are made when the piece is stuffed. With a needle size of 2 mm, my gauge sample results in a diameter of 4.5 cm for six crocheted rounds.

You are working in continuous rounds (spirals), unless otherwise stated.

I hope, it's understandable and I'm really sorry if something sounds weird. ! First published: Sonntag, 2. April 2017

First you prepare the insert for the bowl. To do this, measure the inner diameter of your bowl and draw a big circle on the solid cardboard or plastic (the circle should be a little smaller, because there is still some wool around, so draw it about half an centimeter smaller) and cut out the circle. Now you need something to balance the height. For this you can simply make a cross (also made of solid cardboard). Cut out two strips, each strip should be as long as the inner diameter of the bowl is at the bottom and as wide as about three-quarters of the height of the bowl (also measured inside). Cut a slit in the middle of each strip, which is up to half the width (see also pictures).

Base slab: Bravo brown The number of rounds with increases depends of course on the size of the cardboard disc and the wool used. In this case, it may be necessary to adjust by more or less rounds with increases. 1. hdc 9 in MR (9) 2. inc x 9 (18) 3. (hdc 1, inc) x 9 (27) 4. (hdc 2, inc) x 9 (36) 5. (hdc 3, inc) x 9 (45) 6.

For separating the toes, use a strong thread in paw color. Use pins to mark the points of penetration (approx. in the middle of the paw with 4-5 stitches in between). On top of the paw I also put two pins where the thread is supposed to run along later, which makes the shaping even easier. Stitch with the needle into the first marked position through the paw. Now run the thread over the paw and pierce it again into the first penetration point. Repeat it several times, tighten the thread again and again so that a toe forms. Repeat for the second mark. You can paint on the bales with crayon, make-up, fabric paint or something like that.

For the tail there are two possibilities. I chose a pompom this time. For this I have wrapped white bravo wool on a pompom maker and created it.

If You don’t have a pompom maker, You can easily make it from cardboard.
