Hello everyone and welcome back! Today I share this basketball mascot free amigurumi
pattern that you can adapt to your favorite team! If you want to go straight to the
pattern, just scroll down! Or, you can stick around! It might have some nice information
for you!

As with most of my creations, this amigurumi toy is a gift! And this time is for my
brother-in-law. It was his birthday last month, but since it was a busy month for many of
us, we only had time to celebrate last weekend. I had a lot coming up with Halloween
patterns, and some other gifts I had to make like this little fox for my niece, so, not have
enough time to create something for him.

Pin it for later!

I am currently working on a Halloween pumpkin table runner, it’s looking beautiful and
it is part of my plan for Halloween home décor. If you want to check it, click here.

But, back on the basketball amigurumi mascot! With a lot going on this year, my
brother-in-law had to find a spot in the house to become his new office, a situation that
a lot of us can relate to. Plus, they have five kids! I guess now you can imagine how
busy the house is, and how is to adapt to all these new ways of living. With that in mind,
my husband and I were thinking about what to get him for a gift.

And so, we came up with this coloring book I found on Amazon, it’s for grown-ups and
I know is something that he already made a few comments about it. And on top of that,
I develop this amigurumi basketball mascot that he can leave on his office table. It has
his favorite basketball team color, it might make him smile with its funny face plus, he
can squeeze the ball anytime he needs some stress release!

For making this basketball mascot amigurumi pattern, I choose the colors of his favorite
basketball team called Denver Nuggets which are yellow, blue, and white, and the
number of his favorite basketball player, Nikola Jokic (15).

So here, you can change the colors for the basketball team you want and you can
embroider any number on its back. This way, you can have a very well thought
personalized gift!

Before we start, I will leave down here links to every stitch and technique I used on this
amigurumi pattern in case you need them. Take a time to read how I finish my crochet
balls, I am always surprised at how many amigurumi lovers still don’t know about this
technique!

• Easy way to make a magic ring

• How to do single crochet (SC)
• The perfect way to finish your amigurumi.
• How to increase (inc)

• What is invisible decrease (invDEC or DEC)

• How to back post single crochet (BPSC)

And, some amigurumi tips that are always good to keep in mind!

TIPS:

1. The most important to remember is to keep your stitch with a tight tension, this
way, you won’t have any see-through gaps.
2. To help me keep my stitches tight, I prefer using yarn for a thicker needle than
the one I would be using for the Amigurumi.
3. Always count your stitches after every row, so you will make sure to have the
total amount of stitches.
4. Use a piece of yarn to mark the last stitch, so you won’t miss where the
beginning and end of your row are!
