Charlie Brown Amigurumi Pattern

My co-worker wanted me to make

him Charlie Brown after seeing my
other creations. It was a bit
challenging to make this character
since I grew up watching Peanuts
and wanted to make Charlie Brown
perfect. I must have reworked this
little doll 20 times before he was
right.
Unless otherwise stated, work in
continuous rounds. Also, I assume
that you have basic knowledge in
crochet. If not there are many
tutorials on YouTube. Good luck!

Materials Required:
 Brown, black, yellow and flesh tone coloured yarn
 Fibrefill
 Black felt
 3.5mm (E) hook
 Yarn needle
 Sewing needle and thread
 Felting needle

For the hand, sew 3 of the fingers together by taking the yarn tail
from the first finger and weaving it through 2 stitches on both first
and second finger. Ensure that the yarn tail of the second finger
is on the opposite side of this. Take the yarn tail of the second
finger and weave it through 2 stitches on both the second and
third finger. Ensure that the yarn tail of the third finger is on the
opposite side of this. Take the yarn tail of the third finger and
weave it through 2 stitches on both the third and fourth finger.
Ensure that the point where the yarn is attached is opposite to
this. Stuff all four of the fingers firmly. Use the connected yarn to
continue forming the hand.

Assembly:
1) Attach the head to the body
with the tail from the head. I
just weaved in and out of
each piece with the tail.
Ensure the neck is in the
bottom centre of the head.
Firmly stuff the neck before
completely sewing openings
close to ensure it can
support the weight of the
head.
2) Sew the nose and ears with the yarn tails as positioned in
the above photo. Ensure that these appendages are
centered with the collar.
3) Using black yarn to embroider the eyes, eyebrows mouth
and hair.
4) Attach the arms to the body with the tails
from each piece. I used a whip stitch again.
Pin all the limbs in the desired position
before attaching. Ensure to squish down the
top of the arm to shape the shoulder.
5) Attach the thumb to the hand. Ensure
the thumbs are pointing forward in
comparison to the body and slightly lower
than all the other fingers.

6) Attach the legs of the shorts to the bottom of the body. Use
the front loops in Rnd 11 as a guide to position the legs of the
shorts so that they cover the entire bottom.
7) Attach the bottom of the
legs (i.e. the yellow part) to
the shoes with the tail.
Using black yarn
embroider on the
shoelaces. I simply
weaved the black yarn
through the shoe and tied
a bow at the top. Stuff the legs.
8) Attach the top part of the leg (i.e. flesh tone part) to bottom of
the body with the tail. Centre the legs in the legs of the
shorts. You may need to roll up the legs of the shorts. Ensure
to firmly stuff the legs before closing up any openings.
9) Create the zig-zag pattern on the
sweater. I accomplished this by
chaining on the surface of the body
with black yarn to create the outlines
for the zig-zag. Basically I made 6 zig-
zags. The bottom points are 10
stitches apart while the top points are 7 stitches apart. The
zig-zag itself is 2 stitches wide. Then I needle felted on black
felt to fill in the line. If you don’t want to needle felt simply cut
a zig-zag out of black felt and sew it to the sweater.
10) Fold the collar to position it. This may require blocking.

Notes: The bottom is not flat. I tried to make a flat bottom by
doing the back loop only stitch but instead it helped to create the
outline required to attach the shorts. Also, I embroidered the hair
directly to the head. You can create a loose loop for the hair
similar to how it looks in the comics.

Now it’s complete!

Hope you enjoyed making this!
