Skills Needed: These amigurumi Twin Stars will be crocheted in two parts all by working in the rounds. So, make sure you have practice on the magic ring since the slip stitch and chain method will not work well for such small amigurumi.

Furthemore you need single crochets, increases, and bobble stitches for the limbs. For attachment of hairs, you can use glue. Little embroidery and colour changes for the belly are also needed.

Finished Size: Approximately 3cm wide and 5cm high

Guide Span: 22 Minutes Only

Personalization Tips: You can use a larger crochet hook with the bulky yarn to achieve a big plushie for your little one.

Kiki And Lala Crochet Tutorial

The tutor in the tutorial below suggests marking the first stitch of each round to keep track of your progress. Additionally, changing yarn colours and making decreases are crucial steps in the process. Kiki and Lala can be used as cute decorations, gifts, or even keychain accessories. Below are the important highlights of the tutorial:

Creating the Head: Start with a magic ring using skin-coloured yarn. Make 6 single crochets into the ring to begin the base, then close the ring tightly. In the following rounds, use increased stitches (two single crochets in one stitch) to expand the head’s shape. Alternate rounds with combinations like single crochet + increase or two single crochets.
Switching Colors for Details: Before finishing the last decrease of a round, insert white yarn without cutting the initial yarn. This allows easy transitioning back to the previous colour. Add bubble stitches for texture in specific areas (e.g., cheeks and limbs).
Shaping the Body: Follow a similar process to the head, using rounds of single crochet and increased and decreased stitches. Alternate rows with single crochet rounds to create height without increasing the size.
Adding Features (Eyes and Details): For eyes, use black yarn and embroider around round six of the head.
Creating the Hair: Begin with rounds similar to the head. For Kiki’s hair, chain three, skip a stitch, and make slip stitches in alternating stitches. This creates the effect of hair strands. For Lala’s hair, the process is similar but includes a 14-stitch single crochet row for additional volume.
Final Assembly and Tips: Stuff each piece firmly before closing off with a final row of decreases.
Attach the hair and head to the body, securing with a long tail of yarn if sewing or using a fabric glue option for attachment.
