DIFFICULTY



INTERMEDIATE materials



- Any yarn in white, black, beige, soft yellow and orange colour - Crochet hook that matches the size of your yarn - A pair of safety eyes and washer (I use a 10mm eyes) - Tapestry/yarn needle - Stitch marker - Scissors - Stuffing - A hot glue gun SIZE



I used Bali cotton yarn in size #2 (sport) and a 2.50mm crochet hook. My Zenitsu turned out approximately 12cm (3.4") tall. ABBREVIATIONS



R = round/row BLO = back loop only ch = chain FLO = front loop only st(s) = stitch(es) sk = skip sc = single crochet slst = slip stitch hdc = half double crochet x(...) = repeat (...) times dc = double crochet tc = triple crochet inc = increase (2sc in 1 st) dec = decrease (sc in 2 st) [...] = a total of [...] stitches on that round

Sealing method



I often use this method to get rid of some tails because it saves more time than weaving the tails in one by one. However, make sure the area that you want to “seal” is not visible, thus, not making it ugly. 1. Hold the tail to your piece. If you have more than 1 tail, you can twist it to become one.



2. Apply a small amount of hot glue gun, quickly and carefully press it using a metal flat object, I’m using my scissors.



3. Cut off the tail and you’re done.

Now we’re gonna make the details on the lower legs. I’m using Nezuko’s leg for the illustrations, you just have to do the same thing for Zenitsu’s but with WHITE yarn. 1. (using white yarn) Pull out a yarn behind R6-R7 of the leg. 2. Wrap the yarn around the leg twice (not too tight). 3. Insert the yarn in the same hole that you pull out in the first place. 4. Pull the yarn out again on the front leg, on R3-R4. 5. Insert the yarn underneath the 2 loops that you made before. 6. Pull the loops down using your current yarn. 7. Insert the yarn in the same hole that you pull out on the front leg. 8. Secure it and you’re done for the legs. (I secure the yarn by pulling it out again behind the leg then tying it.)

assembly



I recommend to use ball point pins for assembly. This way will help you to keep the pieces in place and make it easier to do the sewing. I'm using a hot glue gun to attach some of the parts, but if you make this amigurumi for kids, I recommend to make it fully sewn. 1. Sew the body to the head. 2. Sew the legs to the lower sides of the body. (If you wanna make it stand, just sew the legs on the bottom of the body.)



1 2 3. Wrap the collar detail around the neck and sew/glue it in place. 4. Wrap the waist detail around the body above the legs and sew/glue it in place. 5. Wrap the outer on the sides to the back of the body and sew/glue it in place.
