Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Nutmeg?
You need 4 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 65 g (115 yd / 105 m) of rust for the body, head, ears, tail, arms and feet, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of cream for the belly, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of tan for the acorn and about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of brown for the acorn cap. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (12 mm).
How tall is Nutmeg, and how many parts are there?
About 6 in (15 cm) tall. You crochet 9 parts (body, head, belly, 2 ears, tail, acorn, acorn cap, 2 arms and 2 feet), 85 rounds in all, then follow 12 assembly steps to put Nutmeg together.
Is Nutmeg a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Nutmeg uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 9 parts and 85 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.
