• Step 1

  The Essentials:

  Hook: 3mm (makes the size shown, but I’m sure any hook size would work and scale up or down accordingly).

  Wool: DK in pale pink and dark pink.

  Above colours makes the Jelly Tot Sprite as shown, but I’m sure there are others in the ether waiting to be created in a variety of colours so go nuts and channel your own!

  Finished Size: 6” tall.

  Terms:

  CH = Chain

  SC = Single Crochet

  INC = Increase

  DEC = Decrease

  SL ST = Slip Stitch

  I start my amigurumi using CH2 for simplicity, but if you prefer you can use a magic ring.
