About This Sponge Bob Mini Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern creates an adorable mini Sponge Bob style amigurumi with a rectangular body, tiny hat, and full facial details. It uses basic amigurumi techniques with some shaped rounds and color changes for the blouse and socks. You will glue small felt pieces and embroider accents for the eyes, eyelashes and anchor on the hat.

The design is compact and gift-ready, using a 2 mm hook for tight stitches to keep stuffing hidden. Assembly relies on gluing and simple sewing to position eyes, collar and tie accurately.

Why You'll Love This Sponge Bob Mini Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it captures character detail in a tiny, manageable size that feels rewarding to finish. I enjoy how the rectangular body shaping is clever yet achievable, giving a unique silhouette compared to round amigurumi. The mix of crochet, felt and embroidery makes the assembly creative and fun, so every piece becomes a small mixed-media project. I like that it uses accessible stitches but still produces a distinctive, recognizable toy you can gift with pride. Making the hat, tie and little felt teeth are my favorite finishing touches that bring personality to the finished figure.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this mini amigurumi by changing colors; try pastel yellows and soft blues for a vintage look.

I sometimes switch yarn weight and hook to make a larger version; using a DK or worsted yarn creates a chunkier, cuddlier toy.

I like to replace felt eyes with embroidered eyes for a fully crocheted finish that is washable and more durable.

Try making a keychain version by adding a small loop to the hat or top of the head and attaching a keyring for a portable charm.

I enjoy adding wire inside the arms for posability so the figure can hold small accessories or be posed on a shelf.

For a themed set, change tie and hat colors to make different characters or holiday versions like Halloween or Christmas variations.

I often embroider alternative expressions by moving the mouth and eyebrows slightly; small changes create big personality differences.

Use glitter or metallic thread for the anchor and belt details to give a playful, eye-catching accent to finished pieces.

If you prefer sewing to gluing, stitch the felt pieces in place for extra security, especially if the toy is intended for children.

I recommend experimenting with different felt thicknesses for the tie and collar; thin felt lies flatter while thicker felt gives a more structured look.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Skipping the instruction to glue acetate to the side of the body can lead to a loss of the rectangular shape; glue a piece of acetate to the left side as instructed to help maintain the shape. ✗ Overstuffing the body will round the corners and ruin the rectangular silhouette; stuff it little by little and shape as you go to keep the edges straight. ✗ Not aligning the white round on the arm with the blouse white round can make the arms look uneven; pin and compare before gluing to ensure the first white round on the arm matches the last white round on the blouse. ✗ Forgetting to change yarn colors exactly where noted will break the skirt and blouse details; follow each color-change round precisely and fasten off when the instructions require it. ✗ Using a hook that is too large will create loose stitches and visible stuffing; use the recommended 2 mm crochet hook and maintain a tight gauge for a neat finish.

Assembly Instructions

  • Glue the body inside the Pants + Blouse piece after finishing the blouse rounds and fastening off.
  • Glue below the body the two legs, spacing them evenly and aligning them with the bottom of the pants (Picture 1).
  • Glue the two arms to the sides of the body aligning the first white round on the arm with the last white round on the blouse to ensure symmetry.
  • Glue the hat on top of the head after embroidering or painting the anchor and red lines; fasten securely.
  • Glue felt eyes, teeth, collar and tie according to Picture 2 and embroider eyelashes and cheeks with black yarn for detail.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use a small piece of acetate glued to the left side of the body to help maintain the rectangular shape during and after stuffing.
  • 💡Stuff parts little by little to keep the rectangular edges neat and avoid overstuffing which will round the corners.
  • 💡Cut yarn and fasten off at the end of indicated sections and change colors exactly where specified for clean color transitions.
  • 💡Pin pieces in place before gluing to ensure symmetrical placement, especially eyes, arms and legs.
  • 💡Embroider details like eyelashes, cheeks and the anchor on the hat after gluing major pieces so you can position them precisely.
