Abbreviations Ch chain Sc single crochet Sc-blo single crochet, back loop only Sc2tog single crochet two stitches together (a standard single crochet decrease) Sl st slip stitch St(s) stitch(es) Pattern Notes When making amigurumi, I choose to crochet in the back loop only. I like the look of the ridges left behind by the unworked front loop and find them very useful for counting rounds and attaching pieces. If you choose to crochet the traditional way through both loops, be aware that your final product will look slightly different from mine. There are a number of rows that need to be crocheted specifically through both loops or the back loop only, regardless of your crochet style, to achieve the best result. These are noted in the pattern. Danna Dyer, 2015 Katamari Damacy Prince Crochet Plush Page 2

3 I enjoy cross stitch and have chosen to cross stitch on the yellow border around the face. If you don t wish to cross stitch the border you could create it instead using surface crochet, embroidery. or even felt. Or modify the head pattern to include the additional colour changes to incorporate the yellow while crocheting the head. Gauge Good news! Gauge doesn t matter much when you re making amigurumi. So what if your plush is an inch taller than mine? All that matters is that you can t see the stuffing through the fabric and that you like the look of the final piece. I crochet fairly tightly so a 5 mm hook works for me. If that makes too loose a fabric for you, drop a hook size or two. I ve seen designers go as low as a 2 mm hook with worsted weight yarn for their amigurumi. It s all about what works for you! Instructions Arms Make 2. With MC, ch 2. Rounds 4-5: Sc in each st.

4 Body With C, ch 2. If you normally crochet through the back loop only, it is recommended to work all purple stitches through both loops instead. This creates a denser fabric allowing the plush to have a slightly flatter bottom. Round 4: (Sc twice in next st, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times.
