Hook size
I recommend using a hook that’s smaller than for “usual” crochet works because you should keep the gauge
as tight as you can so that the stuffing doesn't show through.
Yarn and Wool

I mostly use “Catania” from Schachenmayr (http://www.coatsgmbh.de) and “Cotton Quick” from Gründl
(www.gruendl-wolle.de). It's a 4-ply fingering weight cotton yarn with a specified gauge of 36 rows and
26 sts = 10 cm (about 9 rows and 6.5 sts = 1”) and recommended hook sizes of 2.5 to 3.5 mm.
My gauge (for single crochets in round):
8 rows and 7 sts = 1” with 3.0 mm hook and 7 rows and 7 sts = 1” with 3.5 mm hook
WPI
I measured 22 WPI for this yarn.

WPI = wraps per inch: To measure the WPI of your yarn, wrap it around
a pencil, a ruler or something else, until it reaches 1 inch. Then count the
number of wraps you have.

Some tips for making your Egglings
− I recommend beginning all rounds with an adjustable ring.

− Rounds are worked in a continuous spiral; do not join rounds with a slip stitch, unless indicated.
− You may find it useful to use a stitch marker for counting your rounds.
− When stuffing your Eggling (or parts of it), take care to give each part a nice shape, don’t just put the
filling in randomly.
− I also recommend taking your time when making (embroidering) your Eggling’s face. The face is a very
important part and gives character and expression to your little creation. (I usually spend a lot of time for
this part on every single Amigurumi…)
Note: All figures are made from one basic pattern for body and feet (if they have some).
Basic Pattern: Body (Egg)
Round 1: 6 sc
Round 2: inc around (12)
Round 3: (sc, inc) repeat around (18)
Round 4: sc around (18)
Round 5: (2 sc, inc) repeat around (24)
Round 8 – 13: sc around (30)
Round 14: (3 sc, dec) repeat around (24)
Now would be a good time for attaching safety eyes if necessary. Embroider face, stuff a bit.
Round 16: (sc, dec) repeat around (12)

Round 17: dec around (6) or: sc in every 2nd st (6)
FO, leave a long yarn tail, stuff firmly, shape the egg, weave yarn tail through front loops of last round and
pull tight so that the hole is closed; weave in loose end.
