Before you begin:
This amigurumi/plush is worked in continuous rounds. Mark the beginning
of each round with a stitch marker.
Use the “magic ring” when starting rounds, there are many youtube
videos teaching how to make a magic ring or magic circle. An alternative
method to the magic ring is: ch2, sc x6 (or number of sts noted) in 2nd
ch from hook, sl st to join. Continue on in rounds as noted above.
Gauge is not important in this project as long as you are consistent with
your tension.
This project is made with all sc stitches unless otherwise specified.
TIP: Always change colors in the stitch BEFORE the color change by
pulling the new color through the 2 loops, thus beginning with the correct
color on your hook!

Body/Head
With blue
R1: Pick up both legs, face feet so they are pointing in the same direction and
away from you. Insert hook in middle stitches and sc legs together. The middle
joining sc will not count in your stitch count. The next stitch you make will be
in the leg on your left and this will be the beginning stitch so place your stitch
marker here. Continue around left leg and then go around right leg. You want
to be working from the back so your color changes don’t show. (22)

Congratulations!
Your Mini Gamer Friend is now complete and ready for play or display. I hope
you enjoyed making this pattern. I would love to see pictures of your finished
dolls!!

now contains small parts and pieces. If these pieces were to come off, they
could pose a choking hazard to small children and pets.
