About This Pixie the Robot Amigurumi Pattern

Pixie the Robot is a charming amigurumi project that creates a 9 in. (23 cm) tall stuffed robot with a colorful control flap and display screen.

Why You'll Love This Pixie the Robot Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines easy construction with delightful personality—Pixie feels playful from the first stitch. I enjoy how the color-blocked body and striped limbs let me experiment with color palettes and tiny details. The embroidery step gives so much expression with minimal effort, and sewing the pieces together always feels rewarding. I love gifting finished robots because theyre handmade, warm, and instantly loved by kids and grown-ups alike.

Switch Things Up

I love customizing Pixie by changing the color palette; try pastel shades for a softer look or bright contrasting hues for a playful feel.

To make Pixie larger or smaller, change yarn weight and hook size—use bulky yarn with a larger hook for a chunky toy or thinner yarn for a mini keychain version.

I often swap safety eyes for embroidered eyes to make the toy safer for babies and to give a different expression.

Add wire inside the arms or legs for simple posability, wrapping the wire in yarn before inserting to protect the stuffing.

Embellish the display screen by crocheting small appliques or stitching tiny shapes with contrasting floss to create custom icons.

Experiment with different stitch textures, like using half double crochet for the control flap to create subtle contrast with the rest of the body.

Personalize Pixie with a tiny crocheted accessory, such as a scarf, hat, or mini backpack, to give the robot extra character.

Use embroidery to add freckles, dials, or a nameplate; I sometimes embroider initials on the back of the robot as a special touch.

Make a set of robots in coordinating colorways to create a family of Pixies—varying just one or two colors creates a cohesive collection.

If youre gifting, stuff the robot a bit firmer for durability and consider sewing a small loop to the top so it can hang as decor or on a nursery mobile.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping a stitch marker when working in continuous rounds will make it hard to track the end of each round; place a marker in the last st made and move it up as you work to avoid losing your place. ✗ Changing colors incorrectly can leave loose carried strands inside the fabric; when changing color, work the last st of the old color to last yarn over then yarn over with the new color and draw through all loops to secure the color change. ✗ Under-stuffing results in a floppy, unsightly shape while over-stuffing stretches the stitches; stuff gradually and check the shape frequently to achieve a firm but flexible body. ✗ Placing safety eyes too late or without measuring can make the face look unbalanced; insert plastic safety eyes between Rnds 10 and 13 about 9 sts apart and double-check symmetry before locking them in. ✗ Pulling yarn too tightly when embroidering can pucker the fabric and distort facial features; use gentle tension and secure embroidery knots on the inside to keep the surface smooth.

Assembly Instructions

  • Stuff knobs with beginning yarn tails and, using the ending yarn tails, sew each knob to the Body between Rnds 25 and 29, and also between Rnds 30 and 33, matching placement from photograph.
  • With color D, sew Arms to the sides of the Body between Rnds 18 and 20, angling slightly for a natural attachment and securing with tight stitches.
  • With color D, sew Legs to the bottom center of the Body, spacing them evenly so the Robot can sit or stand balanced.
  • With color A, sew Antennae to the top of the Head between Rnds 4 and 7, using long tails to secure them firmly to the fabric.
  • After all pieces are attached, weave in all yarn ends and lightly adjust stuffing to ensure an even shape before closing any final gaps.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a stitch marker to indicate the end of each round and move it up as you complete rounds to stay oriented in the spiral construction.
  • 💡Body, Arms, Legs, Antennae and Knobs are worked in continuous rounds (spiral); do not join first st of rnds to last st and do not turn at the beg of rnds.
  • 💡When changing yarn color, work the last st of the old color to last yarn over, then yarn over with the new color and draw through all loops to complete the st so the color change is secure.
  • 💡Exact gauge is not essential for this project, but using a small hook helps keep stitches tight so stuffing does not show through.
  • 💡If intended for a baby or small child, ensure all pieces and safety eyes have been securely sewn; do not leave a baby or child unattended with the Robot.
