Questions
Which yarn colors do I need for Sunny?
You need 4 colors of worsted weight (4) yarn: about 55 g (95 yd / 90 m) of gold for the body, head, ears, arms, legs and tail, about 15 g (30 yd / 25 m) of rust for the mane and tail tuft, about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of cream for the muzzle and about 5 g (5 yd / 5 m) of brown for the nose. You also need about 25 g of fiberfill and 2 safety eyes (10 mm).
How tall is Sunny, and how many parts are there?
About 5.75 in (15 cm) tall. You crochet 10 parts (body, head, mane, muzzle, nose, 2 ears, 2 arms, 2 legs, tail and tail tuft), 89 rounds in all, then follow 11 assembly steps to put Sunny together.
Is Sunny a good first amigurumi?
Yes, if you are happy with a slightly longer project. Sunny uses only basic stitches (single crochet, increases and decreases in the round), but with 10 parts and 89 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.
