Crochet Flork Amigurumi
This tutorial is a comprehensive guide for crocheting a Flork puppet amigurumi, a charming character used frequently in memes. The creator provides step-by-step instructions for crocheting the puppet and guidance on materials, crocheting techniques, and personalization options.
- Head and Body: Begin with a magic ring using white yarn. Round 1: Knit 6 single crochets inside the magic ring. Round 2: Make 6 increases (2 single crochets in each stitch). Round 3: Knit 1 single crochet, then 1 increase, repeat. Continue to increase rounds as specified in tutorial until reaching desired diameter. Crochet several rounds of single crochets, switching sometimes to back stitch.
- Base: Insert two cardboard circles at the base for stability.
- Shaping and Eyes: Crochet head until specified round and insert safety eyes at approximate positions. Crochet additional rounds, decreasing stitches towards the top.
- Final Shaping and Closure: Fill the body with synthetic filling. Crochet decreasing rounds until the opening is small. Close the top with slip stitches and tuck the thread in securely.
- Black Details: Embroider black line from the top down the middle.
- Mouth and Arms: Use black thread, and embroider a curved mouth. The embroidery has small arms on either side, ensuring symmetry. Blush: Embroider blush below the eyes with pink thread.
- Heart: Start with a magic ring using red yarn. Crochet double crochets, half double crochets, and single crochet stitches into the ring to shape the heart. Attach the heart with a long thread to secure the puppet.
