Materials: When using the suggested materials, it will be about 20 cm tall. The listed wool and hook sizes are only suggestions. It is, of course, entirely your personal choice, which yarn you use. Please keep in mind that different yarn may result in a bigger or smaller piece. Make sure to adapt your hook size according to your yarn and personal tension. When crocheting Amigurumis you should use a much smaller needle size than indicated on the label or you would use it for other crochet projects so that no holes are made when the piece is stuffed.

2 Arm (make 2) - same for all: (5 Rounds) sc in each st around (14) 8. (sc 5, dec) x2 (12) (5 Rounds) sc in each st around (12) Fasten off, don t close, weave in loose ends, lightly stuff the lower part (paw), don t stuff the rest of the arm. Leg (make 2) - same for all: 3. (sc 1, inc) x7 (21) (3 Rounds) sc in each st around (21) Fasten off the first leg, do not fasten off the second leg, continue crocheting directly. It s coming the Body - same for all: 9. Now remove the loop from the needle and insert hook from the inside through a stitch of the first crocheted leg, pull the loop through, sc 21 around the first crocheted leg, sc 21 around the other leg (42) - place round marker here 10. inc, sc 19, inc x2, sc 19, inc (46) 11. sc in each st around (46) 12. sc 14, (sc 2, inc) x6, sc 14 (52) 13. sc 14, (sc 3, inc) x6, sc 14 (58) (15 Rounds) sc in each st around (58) Align the round marker in the middle (between the legs) again and keep it in the middle in the following rounds, i.e. correct it again and again if necessary. It is easy to find the middle by folding the piece flat, notice the direction of the legs. 29. sc 14, (sc 3, dec) x6, sc 14 (52) 30. sc in each st around (52) 31. sc 14, (sc 2, dec) x6, sc 14 (46) In the next round, the arms are attached, so it is important that the beginning of the round is exactly in the middle again (between the legs).

3 32. sc 5, let the loop on the hook, hold the arm against the body, insert hook from the inside through one stitch of the arm and also through the next stitch of the body, in this way follow now sc 5, sc 26 along the body, now hold the second arm against the body and sc 5 through arm and body stitches again, sc 5 along the body (46) 33. sc 5, sc 7 along the free (outer) stitches of the arm, sc 4 along the body, dec, (sc 6, dec) x2, sc 4, sc 7 along the free stitches of the second arm, sc 5 (47) 34. sc in each st around (47) 35. sc 8, dec, (sc 5, dec) x4, sc 9 (42) 36.

Nose - Dog: Black 1. sc 6 in MR (6) 2. (sc 3 in 1 stitch, sc 1) x3 (12) 3. sc 1, sc 3 in 1 stitch, sc 3, sc 3 in 1 stitch, sc 3, sc 3 in 1 stitch, sc 2 (18) If you need a larger nose, just continue crocheting this way, always sc 3 in the middle of the "3 in 1" stitches, sc in each stitch between these "3 in 1" stitches. If the nose is big enough, fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing. Ear (make 2) - Dog: 1. ch 3, join round with a slst in the first ch, sc 2 in each ch (6) - the result is a little bit more pointed, if you can't do it, no problem, an sc 6 in a macic ring also works) 2. (sc 1, inc) x3 (9) 3. (sc 2, inc) x3 (12) 4. (sc 3, inc) x3 (15) 5. (sc 4, inc) x3 (18) 6. (sc 5, inc) x3 (21) 7. (sc 6, inc) x3 (24) 8. sc in each st around (24) The size can also be easily adjusted here, if necessary, by increasing in the same way (evently 3 stitches per round), finally one round without increases. Fasten off, don't close, don't stuff, leave a long tail for sewing. Tail - Dog: 1. sc 6 in MR (6) 2. inc x6 (12) 3. inc x12 (24) 4. (sc 1, inc) x12 (36) Also the size of the tail can be adapted easily, by increasing in each further round 6 stitches evenly. 5. Fold the piece flat and crochet about the half of the edge together with slip stitches, crocheting through both stitches, here: slst 9, leave the remaining stitches unworked. Fasten off, don t close, leave a long tail for sewing. Stuff and shape the tail. Now sew on the head with the end thread of the body (another thread, e.g. sewing thread, of course also works). To do this, first lay the body down and pin the head in front of it, as it should be later, making sure that the body can lie well, including the head.

5 Finishing: Place the nose on the muzzle (one tip of the triangle ends with the start - the magic ring - of the muzzle) and sew on carefully. If there is still enough thread left, embroider the rest of the face, mark the areas for the eyes with pins first. If you like, you can crochet eyebrows, ch 4, from the 2nd stitch of the hook: slst 1, sc 1, slst 1, leave a long tail for sewing and then sew it on above the eyes. If you like, you can crochet a collar: e.g. with an foundation chain and single crochet stitches or slip stitches, depending on the desired width. optional: Belly patch - same for all: (Contrasting color) 1. sc 6 in MR (6) 2. (inc x3, sc 3) x2 (18) 3. (sc 1, inc) x3, sc 3, (sc 1, inc) x3, sc 3 (24) 4. (sc 2, inc) x3, sc 3, (sc 2, inc) x3, sc 3 (30) 5. (sc 3, inc) x3, sc 3, (sc 3, inc) x3, sc 3 (36) 6.

If you want the patch to get bigger or smaller, simply crochet more or less rounds. Place the patch on the belly with pins and sew on.

6 Head - bunny: 1. sc 6 in MR (6) 2. inc x6 (12) 3. (sc 1, inc) x6 (18) 4. (sc 2, inc) x6 (24) 5. (sc 3, inc) x6 (30) 6. sc in each st around (30) 7. (sc 4, inc) x6 (36) 8. (sc 5, inc) x6 (42) 9.

(sc 2, inc) x7 (28) (12 Rounds) sc in each st around (28) - if you wanna have longer ears: just crochet more rounds without increases. Fold the top edge together and seam using a single crochet along the top edge, crocheting through both stitches. Fold the top edge together again and repeat crocheting the top edge together. Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing. Tail - bunny: 1. sc 6 in MR (6) 2. inc x6 (12) 3. (sc 1, inc) x6 (18) 4. (sc 2, inc) x6 (24) (4 Rounds) sc in each st around (24) 9. (sc 2, dec) x6 (18)

7 10. (sc 1, dec) x6 (12) Fasten off, don t close, leave a long tail for sewing, stuff and shape the tail. Sew the head on the body (see dog). Pin the ears in a desired position on the head and sew them on. Embroider the nose approx. in the middle of the face using pink yarn. Stitch back and forth several times until the nose looks good for you (see first picture). If you like, you can sculpt the eye sockets, mark the places for the eyes with pins (one round above the nose, 4-5 stitches wide). Thread strong yarn through a long needle, insert from the bottom of the head (second photo), come out at point 1, insert again at point 2, come out at point 3 and insert again at point 4 (third photo) and go back to the point at the back of the head, come out again exactly at the starting point, now tighten the yarn gently until the eye sockets form (fourth photo), knot the thread well and hide the yarn tails in the head. Repeat the steps with black thread, but don't tighten the thread, tie the thread as well and hide the ends in the head. Head - Cat: it starts with the Cheeks (make 2): White 3. (sc 1, inc) x7 (21) (2 Rounds) sc in each st around (21) Fasten off the first cheek, weave in loose ends, do not fasten off the second cheek, with this continue crocheting directly. Hold the two cheeks together and sc 3 through both 3 touching stitches (see photos).

8 Now crochet along the cheeks. Make sure that the crochet direction is correct (the crochet continues on the left cheek). Place your round marker here and keep it in the middle for the following rounds. Adjust the marker again and again if necessary. 6. sc 18 along the first cheek, sc 18 along the second cheek (36) Color change to main color. 7. sc in each st around (36) 8. sc 9, (sc 2, inc) x6, sc 9 (42) 9. sc 7, (sc 3, inc) x7, sc 7 (49) 10. sc 7, (sc 4, inc) x7, sc 7 (56) 11. (sc 7, inc) x7 (63) (12 Rounds) sc in each st around (63) 24. (sc 7, dec) x7 (56) 25. (sc 6, dec) x7 (49) 26. (sc 5, dec) x7 (42) 27. (sc 4, dec) x7 (35) 28. sc in each st around (35) Stuff and shape the head. 29. (sc 3, dec) x7 (28) 30. (sc 2, dec) x7 (21) 31. (sc 1, dec) x7 (14) Finish stuffing. 32. dec x7 (7) Fasten off, close, weave in loose ends. Nose - Cat: Pink (Use the same weight yarn as for the head. Otherwise you have to adapt the size of the nose if necessary). 1. sc 5 in MR (5) 2. inc x5 (10) (2 Rounds) sc in each st around (10) Stuff a little, nose should be more flat than round. 5. dec x5 (5) Fasten off, close, leave a long tail for sewing. Ear (make 2) - Cat: 1. ch 3, join round with a slst in the first ch, sc 2 in each ch (6) - the result is a little bit more pointed, if you can't do it, no problem, an sc 6 in a macic ring also works) 2. (sc 1, inc) x3 (9) 3. (sc 2, inc) x3 (12) 4. (sc 3, inc) x3 (15) 5. (sc 4, inc) x3 (18) 6. (sc 5, inc) x3 (21) The size can also be easily adjusted here, if necessary, by increasing in the same way (evently 3 stitches per round). Fasten off, don't close, don't stuff, leave a long tail for sewing.

9 Tail - Cat: (4 Rounds) sc in each st around (14) 7. dec, sc 12 (13) (2 Rounds) sc in each st around (13) 10. dec, sc 11 (12) (2 Rounds) sc in each st around (12) 13. dec, sc 10 (11) (2 Rounds) sc in each st around (11) 16. dec, sc 9 (10) (8 Rounds) sc in each st around (10) Fasten off, don t close, stuff and shape the head evenly. Sew the head on the body (see dog). Pin the nose directly above the cheeks in the middle and sew it on. Mark the places for the eyes and embroider the eyes with black yarn. Sew on ears and tail. As you can see you can vary the animals easily by replacing head, ears, tail and color, let your imagination run wild. This three little buddies are just examples. I have worked all three with different yarns, here too almost anything is possible. For example, if you use chenille yarn, you can make a cuddly toy out of it, and a music box can even be inserted into it without any problems. It's also very easy to turn a lying position into a standing position, just change the following two rounds of the body: 32. sc 13, let the loop on the hook, hold the arm against the body, insert hook from the inside through one stitch of the arm and also through the next stitch of the body, in this way follow now: sc 5, sc 10 along the body, now hold the second arm against the body and sc 5 through arm and body stitches again, sc 13 along the body (46) 33. dec, sc 5, dec, sc 4, sc 7 along the free (outer) stitches of the arm, sc 10 along the body, sc 7 along the free stitches of the second arm, sc 5 (47) In this way, the bum (lying) becomes the belly (standing). Now you only have to sew the head in a suitable different way. Now have fun crocheting!
