Kevin Pattern 1

Baby Kevin (from UP) Amigurumi

Pattern
By Kristel K. (MilesofCrochet)
For personal use ONLY. Do not reproduce pattern or sell finished products.

Finished product measures about 8“tall depending on yarn used.

Materials:
1. G crochet hook (4.00 mm)
2. Worsted weight yarn in BLUE, YELLOW, ORANGE, PINK, PURPLE, LIGHT BLUE, and GRAY
(If you can get fluffy yarn for the body colors, you won’t have to brush the yarn
afterwards. It’s all a matter of preference, but I used just regular worsted because it was
all I could find. For the light blue wings, I used Bernat Pipsqueak brand since it was the
closest color I owned. Feel free to use whatever texture yarn you would like, as long as
it’s a worsted weight!)
3. Needle with large eye
4. Polyester stuffing
5. Pipe cleaners: preferably blue or purple.
6. Felt in light blue, white, purple, turquoise.

7. Fabric or Tacky glue

8. White thread, purple thread, and a needle (if you don’t own purple thread, it isn’t a
necessity. For sewing the purple head feathers, you can use virtually any color thread
since it is such a small detail)
9. Orange fabric paint (for the beak, optional)
10. Wire pet brush (to brush the body and make it fluffy, optional)

to line the eyepiece up before sewing it on.
 Eyes and Beak: Stitch the two
eye circles together as shown
in the picture below.

and two slightly larger ovals out of light blue

 Use a dab of tacky/fabric glue to attach the
whites of the eyes to the light blue felt. Use
the glue again to attach the entire eye to the
yellow piece; make sure you have the
placement where you like it. Then, to ensure
that the eye is secure, use white thread to
stitch the entire eye to the yellow eyepiece
(stitching through the white, blue, and yellow
layers around the inside of the white eye).  Once the beak is attached, you may choose
to add some orange color to the tip. You
may want to leave this step for later if you
wish to continue working. Start with
heavier amounts of paint at the tip for a
bright orange and as you cover the end of

 Once all of the feathers are secure, cut out

small circles using turquoise felt and glue
them on each purple feather. They
shouldn’t need sewing.

feather and press it flat onto the loop you

in all directions (do not brush the head/neck). in the orange section.
Start gently, you don’t want to pull your stitches
apart! Gradually, the body will start to get fuzzy,
and the more directions you brush, the fuzzier it
will get. Your stitches will get pulled slightly and
you may get an occasional bump where a stitch
has been pulled, so go slowly and stop if you feel
that your yarn is getting buffeted too much by
your brushing.
 Assemble the Feet: When you are satisfied
with your brushing, then you can assemble
and attach the feet. It will be difficult to brush
the body any further after you attach the feet,
so be sure you are finished.
 Start by stuffing each leg. Each leg will get
three toes. The toes do not need stuffing and
can be attached to the end of the leg as shown
in the pictures.

Congrats! Your
little Kevin is
all finished!
 After the toes are attached, then attach the
entire leg to the body. Place them toward the
