#stashbusterchums - 45 Frosty Trio

Yarn Scheepjes Catona 4ply, 100% Cotton. 125m per 50g

MC: Snow White (106).CC1: Sky Blue (510).CC2: Light Navy (164).CC3: Apple Granny (513) CC4: Hot Red (115).CC5: Root Beer (157).CC6: Jet Black (110).CC7: Yellow Gold (208).CC8: Royal Orange (189).

A cotton yarn works well for Ami as it gives good stitch definition and creates a firm structure so body parts hold their shape well. Catona is a relatively thick 4 ply (US: Sport) - you can substitute a DK Cotton (US: DK/Light Worsted) with a similar amount of meters per 50g.

These little characters are great for using up odds and ends of yarn. As a rough guide, making the combined body and head in a single colour would use approximately 15g of Catona 4 ply.

Tension 24 sts x 27 rows = 10cm measured over dc using 3mm hook.Tension is not critical for this project but stitches should be tight enough to avoid stuffing showing through.

This Pattern uses UK Crochet Terms

Other Supplies Yarn needle, toy stuffing, stitch marker/waste yarn, scissors.

Size Combined Body and Head is about 9cm (3.5 in) tall - not including hats etc.

Pattern Notes Unless otherwise specified this pattern is worked in the amigurumi style, in a continuous spiral without slip stitching or turning chains.

Use a stitch marker or waste yarn to keep track of the first stitch of each round.

If you do not want to make a Magic Ring you can start each piece by making a chain of 2 and then work the first round into the second chain from the hook.

If you would like to start with a Magic Ring but don’t know how, you can find a Photo Tutorial at: https://www.mycrochetchums.com/magic-ring-photo-tutorial.html

The characters are made of multiple separate pieces sewn together. Unless otherwise stated, finish each piece by pulling the yarn through the last loop and leave a long tail for sewing. Any loose tails at the end can be easily woven in.

Increasing and decreasing

The “invisible” techniques below are recommended to give your amigurumi a neat finish:

Invisible Increase: Work 1 dc in FLO of next st and 1 dc in both loops of same st.

Invisible decrease: Insert hook in FLO of the two stitches to be decreased, yrh, pull through both front loops, yrh, draw through two loops on hook.

UK Crochet Terms - Abbreviations

This pattern is written using UK Crochet Terms - they are NOT the same as US ones - please familiarise yourself with the UK terms to avoid your character’s shape distorting!

The “dc” abbreviation used in this pattern refers to UK double crochet. The equivalent stitch in US terms is single crochet - if you are used to US patterns you need to work single crochet everywhere this pattern says “dc”. If you work US dc (equivalent to UK Treble) the finished item will be elongated and the stuffing will show through.

This pattern also uses UK htr - half treble - the equivalent US stitch is hdc - half double crochet and UK tr - treble - the equivalent US stitch is dc - double.

If you are used to working in US Crochet Terms you can find a conversion chart at: https://www.mycrochetchums.com/ukus-crochet-terms.html

If you are unfamiliar with any of the terms used in this pattern, you can find a chart of the UK Crochet terms used at: https://www.mycrochetchums.com/uk-abbreviations.html
