Before you begin:


 This amigurumi/plush is worked in continuous rounds. Mark the beginning
of each round with a stitch marker.
 Use the “magic ring” when starting rounds, there are many youtube
videos teaching how to magic ring or magic circle. This is an alternate
method: ch2, sc x6 (or number of sts noted) in 2nd ch from hook, sl st to
join. Continue on in rounds as noted above.
 Gauge is not important in this project as long as you are consistent with
your tension.
 This project is made with all sc stitches unless otherwise specified.
 TIP: Always change colors in the stitch BEFORE the color change by
pulling the new color through the 2 loops, thus beginning with the correct
color on your hook!

Body/Head
With black and F hook (The photos of this step are done with R1 in red
instead of black. It’s easier to see using a lighter color.)
R1: Pick up both legs, face feet so they are pointing in the same direction and
away from you. Insert hook in middle stitches and sc legs together, make one
more sc between the legs (this second sc should come towards your body)
joining them well in the middle. The two joining sc will not count in your stitch
count. The next stitch you make will be in the leg on your left and this will be
the beginning stitch so place your stitch marker here. Continue around left leg
and then go around right leg. You want to be working from the back so your
color changes don’t show. (52)

Hair
With yellow
There are a few things you can do with the hair. One option is to insert it
around the helmet. This option is fast and uses less yarn. Another option is to
put it around the hair on the doll’s head. Go all around the edges and then
scattered throughout the head. The pictures show you how to go about putting
it on the helmet. Use the same technique if you choose to put it on the doll’s
head. The helmet will be very snug if you choose to put the hair on the doll’s
head. You may want to go up a hook size when making the helmet. You could
also sew the helmet to the doll’s head. If you choose to do this, there is no
need to make the hair up above.

Cut about 116 strands of yellow yarn 12” long. Use the wings as a guide to
where to put the hair. Start at one wing, go around back of helmet and end at
the other wing. Insert hook into a back loop from R25 of helmet. Fold 2
strands of yellow in half and pull through to make a loop. Bring the ends
through the loop and pull. Do this in each stitch where you want hair.
