— General Information :
Info :
Materials: You will need #4 worsted weight yarn in two different colors, 3.00 mm crochet hook, 2.00 mm crochet hook, poly-fill for stuffing, stitch marker, tapestry needle, sewing/straight pins, and 20.00 mm safety eyes. Optionally you may need sequins and embroidery floss.
Info :
Gauge: 4 sts by 5 rows = 1 inch with a 3.00 mm crochet hook and worsted weight yarn. Gauge is not extremely important for this pattern. You just want to keep even tension and crochet tight enough that stuffing does not poke through the holes.
Info :
Abbreviations: Ch: chain. Sl st: slip stitch. Sc: single crochet. Blo: back loop only. Sc inc: single crochet increase. Sc dec: single crochet decrease.
Info :
Notes: This would be considered an intermediate pattern. Sewing skills and patience are required! This pattern is written in US crochet terminology. Most of this pattern is worked in continuous rounds so you will need to use a stitch marker. This is a lengthy pattern so I will be including a notes section before each new task. Yarn and hook information will be included before each new task. Happy hooking!
Info :
Other important Information! When making amigurumi I suggest using the invisible decrease method. There are a ton of YouTube tutorials on this but basically you decrease as you normally would but in the front loops only. This ensures that there won't be any bumps or gaps in your finished amigurumi project! Please note that the rest of your project will be worked through both loops! You will only be working in the front loops when you decrease!
Info :
Now on to the crochet pattern! There will be a couple different ways to make your little devil. You will have 2 options for horns. I have included instructions for a tail, but you may want to make yours without a tail. I have also included instructions on how to create wings. These are also optional. Different yarn color choices and embellishments can change how your finished creature looks. I used embroidery floss to add freckles/belly button to one and sewed sequins onto the other.

Now it is time to sew the wing onto the arm. I find it helpful to use sewing pins and maybe even a safety pin to hold the wing in place while you sew. See image below on how to pin the wing to the arm!
Info :
You want to take your time while sewing so that your finished wing comes out as desired. When you have completed sewing the wing onto the arm DO NOT break yarn. You will want to use that tail to sew the wing onto the body later during the assemble portion of the tutorial!! See image below!
