Let’s Get Started

Head (Beige Yarn)

We’ll begin with the head—worked in continuous rounds for that smooth amigurumi look

1. Round 1: 6 SC in MR (6)
2. Round 2: 6 Inc (12)
3. Round 3: (1 SC, 1 Inc) x6 (18)
4. Round 4: (1 SC, 1 Inc, 1 SC) x6 (24)
5. Continue increasing until Round 8 (48 stitches).
6. Rounds 9-17: SC evenly around (48 stitches per round).
7. Rounds 18-24: Start decreasing to shape the top of the head.

Tip: Stuff firmly as you go to avoid lumps

Head (Purple/Red/Yellow/Green Yarn)

Same as above, but stop at Round 12 (36 stitches) for a flatter top

Legs (Make 2)

1. Round 1: Beige yarn, 6 SC in MR (6).
2. Round 2: 6 Inc (12).
3. Round 3: Switch to colored yarn, 5 SC, 1 Inc, 5 SC, 1 Inc (14).
4. Rounds 4-9: SC around (14 stitches).
5. For the right leg: Don’t fasten off—chain 3 and join to the left leg to start the body

Body

1. Round 1: SC around both legs + chains (34 stitches).
2. Rounds 2-7: Increase to 42 stitches, then work even.
3. Rounds 8-18: Decrease down to 24 stitches for a tapered shape.

2. SC in the next row for a smooth finish.
3. Slip stitch around the edges for a neat look

Antenna (Custom for Each Teletubby)
