Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Inchy?
You need 4 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 35 g (55 yd / 50 m) of green for the head and segment 2, about 10 g (10 yd / 10 m) of brown for the antennae and feet, about 5 g (10 yd / 10 m) of pink for the antenna tips and about 25 g (40 yd / 35 m) of olive for the segment 1 and segment 3. You also need about 15 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).
How tall is Inchy, and how many parts are there?
About 3.75 in (10 cm) tall. You crochet 7 parts (head, 2 antennae, 2 antenna tips, segment 1, segment 2, segment 3 and 2 feet), 81 rounds in all, then follow 9 assembly steps to put Inchy together.
Is Inchy a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Inchy uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 7 parts and 81 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.
