Make your own fluffy amigurumi desk buddy with this downloadable crochet pattern.
This quick and easy project takes less than half an hour to make, and is great for using up leftover yarn in your stash. It can be made in any colour you like!
The pdf file includes a written crochet stress ball pattern (US crochet terms) and assembly instructions. A printer-friendly version with fewer photos is included.
You'll also get a copy of our beginner's crochet guide, which teaches you some basic techniques used to make amigurumi. The guide has left-hand and right-hand versions.
A free version of this pattern is available on my blog.
DIFFICULTY:
This is an easy amigurumi pattern that uses single crochet stitches in the round. The required techniques are taught in the included beginner's guide.
SIZE:
Using super bulky weight yarn and a 7mm crochet hook, your ball will be about 5 cm (2 in) wide. However, exact gauge is not important for this project, and you can adjust the size by using thicker or thinner yarn.
NOTE ABOUT YARN:
You’ll be using a wire pet slicker brush to make the yarn fluffy, but it doesn’t work with all types of yarn. I used super bulky acrylic yarn. Most kinds of acrylic should work, as long as it’s the kind that’s smooth and shiny, and not microspun acrylic. You can also use different yarn weights to make different size balls. Just choose a crochet hook that matches your yarn weight.
MATERIALS NEEDED (not included with purchase):
• Super bulky acrylic yarn
• 7mm crochet hook
• Toy stuffing
• Scissors
• Yarn needle
• Wire pet slicker brush
• 6mm black beads for eyes
• Black sewing thread
• Sewing needle
