Questions

Which yarn colors do I need for Erik?

You need 7 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 35 g (55 yd / 55 m) of denim for the tunic and arms, about 20 g (40 yd / 35 m) of beige for the head, about 10 g (15 yd / 15 m) of pumpkin for the beard, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of peach for the nose, about 10 g (15 yd / 15 m) of gray for the helmet, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of cream for the horns and about 15 g (25 yd / 20 m) of brown for the belt and boots. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).

How tall is Erik, and how many parts are there?

About 6.25 in (16 cm) tall. You crochet 9 parts (tunic, head, beard, nose, helmet, 2 horns, belt, 2 arms and 2 boots), 95 rounds in all, then follow 10 assembly steps to put Erik together.

Is Erik a good first amigurumi?

Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Erik uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 9 parts and 95 rounds it takes longer than our easiest toys. For a very first toy, a shorter one from our easy amigurumi patterns for beginners is quicker.

Which languages are included?

You get four PDFs: English, French, German and Spanish. The English version uses US crochet terms, and the stitch page lists the UK names too.

How do I get the pattern?

Right after checkout you get an email with your download links. You can download your PDFs again from that email any time.
