Petal (Make 6):
- Start with a slip knot, ch2.
- 8 SC in the second chain from the hook. Place a stitch marker at the end of the round.
- *Increase (2 SC in each stitch) all around to 16 stitches.
- (SC, Increase)* repeat 8 times = 24 stitches.
- (SC in the next 2 stitches, Increase) * repeat 8 times = 32 stitches.
6-10. SC around (32 stitches). - (SC in the next 3 stitches, Increase) * repeat 8 times = 40 stitches.
- SC around (40 stitches) for five rounds.
- (SC in the next 4 stitches, Invisible Decrease) * repeat around = 32 stitches.
- (SC in the next 3 stitches, Invisible Decrease) * repeat around = 24 stitches.
- Stuff lightly. Close off by sewing through the front loops of the remaining 18 stitches.
Flower Center/Face:
- Start with a chain of 8, turn into an oval by SC around both sides of the chain.
- Increase by 8 evenly spaced until you reach 40 stitches in a round.
- SC in the back loops only for 1 round (creates the ridge).
- Change color to yellow and SC around for a few rounds.
- Start decreasing to form the top of the head, finish off with a round of invisible decreases.
- Attach safety eyes, stuff firmly, and close.
- Add facial features using black and pink yarn for detailing.
Body:
- Begin with a magic circle or alternative starting method.
- Work increases until the body is wide enough (this will depend on your tension and the size you want).
- Work even in rounds until the body is long enough.
- Decrease for the bottom, stuffing before fully closed.
Assembly:
- Attach the petals around the flower's face.
- Attach the face to the body.
- Add any additional details like cheeks, mouth, etc., using your detail yarn.
Additional Tips:
- The larger petal is achieved by crocheting with a tighter tension, and vice versa for the smaller size.
- Feel free to adapt yarn and hook sizes for different sizes of amigurumis.
- Adjust stuffing amount for the desired firmness.
