Arms/Legs and Ears (Make 6)
Use the color Beige for 2 Arms & 2 Ears. Use the color Brown for the Legs.

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.
At row 12 you worked in back loops, work now in the front loops, SLST around the body to make an extra dimension in his clothes. This is optional.

Belt
Use the color Brown.

Make a chain of 32CH. You can adjust the size by crocheting more or less CH. Make round and sew together.

Hat
Use the color Light Purple. (I used a darker shade of this color as should been, since I didn’t had a lighter version. It still does look cute I guess, maybe I’ll change it in the future.

1: 6SC in Magic Ring. [6]
2: 2SC in each St around. [12]

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing. You can stuff the hat lightly to hold shape a bit. To keep the tip of the hat folded over, I have sewn it to the base of the hat. Just with one stitch to hold it in place.

Assembling

For amigurumi, I always use sewing pins to position all of my parts. This way you can easily move everything around until you are happy with the result. I recommend you do so as well.

Start with sewing on his legs, this way you know where the arms have to be placed, just under the rim of his green clothes. Above the green rim, you will position his ears, on both sides of his head.
Put on his belt, I recommend to secure it with a few stitches in the back so it won’t slide down. And in front, you will secure the piece of yellow yarn, make a small rectangle with the yarn so it looks like a belt.
Make a nose with some beige yarn, going back and forth on the same spot. And put his hat on, you can sew this on, it really depends on how it sit on itself.
From some black felt, cut out eyes and eyebrows, and glue those on.

I hope you love this new addition to our Ufufy family! It’s getting bigger and bigger. Which ones have you made so far?! So me on twitter or instagram!

Love
