Flat Fred the Gator Amigurumi

This is for a PDF Pattern ONLY

I’ve created this step by step written pattern- complete with photos, tips, tricks and helpful links- 8 info packed pages, images of the pieces created, and links to basics and stitches.

American Terms

Difficulty: Comfortable Beginner

Comfortable with rows and round changes, increasing and decreasing, single crochet and picot stitches.

Yarns I used:

I used Lion Brand Pound of Love Medium (4) weight in Olive

A piece of scrap yarn in black for eyes.

Any yarn will work as long as hook size does not leave gaps in the stitches. When in doubt, size down.

***** A NOTE ON YARNS*****

Almost all of the yarns I use in my stash has been given to me, so they vary widely. However I suggest the same weight, and if possible the same brand if you are buying new skeins, of at least 3.5 oz of each color. This ensures that each piece will match in size and shape as “medium weight” can vary from brand to brand.

Colors needed for pieces: I use one color but use what inspires you!

Recommended Hook size: 3.25 mm (used in pattern) or 3.5 mm- if you have gaps in the stitches I suggest going a hook size smaller.

Supplies:

Yarn

Yarn Needle

Fiber filling

Crochet hook

Scrap of black yarn for eyes
