Questions crocheters ask

Can I use a different yarn or hook? Yes. The pattern lists exactly what we used, and any yarn of a similar weight will work. A different yarn or hook size changes the finished measurements, so work a small swatch first if size matters. Our guide best yarn for amigurumi shows how.

Is the pattern written in UK terms? The PDF is written in US crochet terms, but a UK-terms version is free — choose English (UK terms) from the Pattern language list above and we will email it to you. If you would rather convert as you go, our US to UK conversion chart covers every stitch used here.

Can I get the pattern in my language? Yes, and it costs nothing. There are 20 languages in the Pattern language list above — pick yours before you add to cart. The English PDF downloads straight away; any other language we send by email, usually the same day.

Can we make this if we have never made an amigurumi before? Yes. Every round is written out with its stitch count and a step photo. If the start is new to you, read how to crochet a magic ring and our 7 amigurumi tips for beginners first.
