Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.


MATERIALS (RECOMMENDATIONS IN PARENTHESES)

GAUGE
Gauge isn’t important for this amigurumi pattern. Just make sure your crochet stitches are tight to avoid stuffing show through. My finished Tiny Cat is 3 inches tall.

CROCHET STITCHES & ABBREVIATIONS (US TERMINOLOGY)
mr – magic ring
ch – chain
rnd(s) – round(s)
st(s) – stitch(es)
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
inc – single crochet increase

NOTES

  • All sections are worked in a continuous round.
  • Mark the beginning of each round with a stitch marker.
  • Make pieces in the order presented.
  • Not all yarns are created equal! Yarns listed as the same weight frequently differ in size and stretch. Ricorumi DK is on the thinner end of light weight yarns.
