Secure the loop, cut the thread, leaving a long tail for sewing to the head.

Tail

Use your main body color for the tail. Work in a continuous spiral.

  1. Row 1: 6 sc in amigurumi ring (6 sc)
  2. Row 2: (inc) x 6 times (12 sc)
  3. Rows 3-22: 12 sc

Fold the tail in half and single crochet across the row to the end, closing the opening. Secure the loop, cut the thread, leaving a long tail for future sewing to the body.

Arms (Make 2)

Use your main body color for the arms.

  1. Row 1: Chain 10, starting from the second stitch from the hook, crochet inc, 7 sc, then in one stitch crochet 4 sc. Turn the work and on the opposite side crochet 7 sc, in the last stitch make an increase (22 sc)

  3. Rows 3-17: 30 sc

Stuff the arm with hollowfiber, but not too tightly. Cut the thread, secure the loop. You’ll make a tightening on the arms later for shaping (example, count 7 rows from the bottom). For a visual guide on arm tightening, you can refer to this video: https://youtu.be/hA11dtNifJg.

Here’s an arm piece stuffed and ready for shaping.

Notice the slight compression in this photo, indicating where a tightening might be applied to create definition.

The completed arm piece should have a gentle curve and texture.
