Note: This project is working in continuous rounds, do not join or turn unless otherwise stated.
Mark first stitch of each round.
There are 2 ways to start amigurumi:
- Magic ring foundation: You begin with an adjustable ring and then crochet the rows or rounds of your project on top of this ring. The finished piece will be a circle or spherical shape.
- Foundation Chain: Begin with chains and you will crochet the rows or rounds of your project on top of these chains. The first round will be an oval or rectangular piece.
Body and Head:
Start with foundation chain (Rnd 1) this will be the bottom of the body then crochet up to top of the head.

ReplyDeleteHello, this Hobbes is adorable and I can’t wait to make him for my nephew, Calvin. I’m curious what yarn you used for your project. I’m considering using Lion 24/7 Cotton yarn, but it appears it may be smaller than what you used. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi, thank you so much for making this pattern. It's exactly what I was looking for. Really excited to make this for my son for Christmas. God bless you!

ReplyDeleteHi, copying is disabled. In the past people would take my free patterns and post them on their blog or sell them in their shop. This way the pattern stays exclusive on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this pattern! Not only is it easy to understand, but it is also well written so that there is no confusion as to when to do what. I am really pleased with the end result, which is a Christmas gift for my nephew, and I think he’ll be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this pattern. I made it for my 7yo who is a HUGE Calvin & Hobbs fan. He’s thrilled to have a “real” Hobbs to hug.
