Crochet Couch Amigurumi Tutorial
Crochet a sofa amigurumi with the tutorial below including an on-screen pattern instead of verbal instructions. She recommends using the stitch markers in the sewing instead of the usual use. Below is the summary of how she crocheted the couch amigurumi:
- Crochet the base: The crochet sofa base includes working in the flat starting with 9 chains. You will work then single crochet stitches, some more chains, single crochet and get a T-shape. After crocheting the T, cut the yarn. Then you will fold the T in such a way that you get a squished cube just like the base. Filling stuffing and sewing the edges then are recommended. Stitch markers here will be used to block the four corners.
- Arm Rest and Backrest: To crochet the armrests, crochet 25 chains and work in the BLO, you will crochet single crochet rows. Working in this manner for 26 rows will give you a textured fabric.
- Attaching the armrest and backrest: Fold the fabric and then wrap the backrest around the base. It will automatically include the armrest. The remaining instructions are only for tedious sewing.
Stitch Guides
Following are the stitches used in the crochet amigurumi pattern, their abbreviations and quick guides:
- Slip Knot: Create a loop with your yarn, ensuring the working yarn crosses over the tail end. Hold the loop, reach through it to grab the working yarn, and pull it through to form another loop. Tighten by pulling on both ends.
- Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, and pull through both loops on the hook.
- Chain (ch): Yarn over, and pull through the loop on the hook.
- Back Loop Only (BLO): Just work the stitch in the back of the top V-loops instead of both. This is done when inserting the hook.
- Slip stitch (sl st): Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, and pull up a loop. Pull through the loop on the hook.
Supplies Needed
The following are the supplies expected to be used by the crocheter:
- 5/3mm Crochet hook
- Worsted weight yarn
- Stitch markers
- Yarn needle
- Polyester Fiberfill
Note: Opt for high-quality cotton or cotton-blend yarns, as they offer durability and a smooth finish, making your stitches more defined and your final piece more polished. Additionally, choosing a yarn with a slight sheen can add an elegant touch to your crochet sofa, making it a delightful piece of decor.
