Hat

Use pink DK-weight yarn.

1. Round 1: MR 6 (6)
2. Round 2: [inc] × 6 (12)
   Technical correction: Six standard increases transform the 6 stitches from Round 1 into the stated 12 stitches.
3. Round 3: [sc, inc] × 6 (18)
4. Round 4: sc, inc, [sc 2, inc] × 5, sc (24)
5. Round 5: [inc, sc 3] × 6 (30)
6. Round 6: sc 2, inc, [sc 4, inc] × 5, sc 2 (36)
7. Round 7: BLO sc 36 (36)
8. Round 8: sl st, sc 35 (36)
9. Rounds 9–17: sc 36 (36)
10. Round 18: FLO sc 36 (36)
11. Round 19: sl st, then repeat [inc, sc] until you reach the marker again. The exact final count is not specified; this round expands the brim.
12. Round 20: Repeat [inc, sc 2] until you reach the marker again. The exact final count is not specified.
13. Round 21: BLO sc around.

Staggered increases help the crown lie flat. Round 7 turns into the sides, Round 18 turns outward for the brim, and Round 21 limits curling. For a taller hat, add rounds before the FLO round.

Add the White Cross

Embroider a white cross on the front with yarn folded over twice. Place the lower corners two rounds above the brim and the upper corners six rounds above it. Make the cross the same width as its height, producing a 4 × 4 cross. Double-knot the loose strands firmly inside and trim them so no ends protrude. A glued white felt cross is an optional alternative.

Antlers (Make 2)

For each antler, use brown yarn and leave long tails on all four chains:

1. ch 8
2. ch 8
3. ch 3
4. ch 3

Pair the two 8-chain lengths back to back, with their V shapes facing outward. Thread one tail through the first stitch of both chains, then through the second stitch of both chains. Continue through corresponding stitches until every V is secured to its opposite.

After weaving the first tail, three tails will sit at one end and one at the other. Weave the single tail back through the joined chains in the same way, bringing all four tails to one end and forming a firm narrow cord. Repeat this process with the two 3-chain lengths.

Attach the joined 3-chain branch approximately one-third of the way down the joined 8-chain stem. Weave its tails through so every tail finishes at the same end. A crocheted i-cord or a mouldable craft stem may be used as an optional alternative, subject to the safety note above.

Attach the Antlers

For each antler, distribute its tails through four stitch holes in the hat. Align the upper pair of holes with the bottom of the white cross, two rounds above the brim; place the lower pair one round above the brim. Position each antler about six stitches across from the cross and orient the branch before securing it.

Thread every tail to the inside, pull them snug, and check the antler from the front and side. Once it stands correctly, knot the tails firmly together. Glue over the knot bundle only if desired. Repeat symmetrically on the other side. Wrap grey yarn or felt around the right antler to represent its metal detail.

Backpack

Use blue DK-weight yarn.

1. Step 1: ch 9 (9)
2. Step 2: Starting in the second ch from the hook, sc 7 more stitches (8).
3. Step 3: Rotate the piece and sc in each chain on the other side (8). The oval now has 16 stitches.
4. Rounds 4–9: sc around (16).
5. Step 10: sc until you reach the edge of the bag; stop there to begin the lid.
6. Rows 11–14: ch 1, turn, sc 8 (8). The turning chain does not count as a stitch.
   Technical correction: Eight single crochets preserve the 8-stitch flap width established by the oval side.

PSave Pin

For an optional longer or shorter bag, alter the number of chains in Step 1; this also changes the oval count and should be treated as a custom-size variation.

Backpack Straps (Make 2)

1. Row 1: ch 16 (16).
2. After the second row has been completed and the third row is beginning, work back into the stitches already single-crocheted and repeat the process along the other V of the starting chain.

Embroider a white cross on the bag as for the hat, but use a single strand rather than yarn folded twice. Glue on a small felt circle for the optional button.

Use pins to test the two strap positions. Pull each strap tail through its selected hole, tie the tails tightly inside, and tug the strap outward to seat the join. Repeat for the second strap.

Head and Body

Begin with beige DK-weight yarn. The head continues directly into the body.

1. Round 1: MR 6 (6)
2. Round 2: [inc] × 6 (12)
3. Round 3: [inc, sc] × 6 (18)
4. Round 4: sc, inc, [sc 2, inc] × 5, sc (24)
5. Round 5: [inc, sc 3] × 6 (30)
6. Round 6: sc 2, inc, [sc 4, inc] × 5, sc 2 (36)
7. Rounds 7–12: sc 36 (36)
8. Round 13: sc 2, dec, [sc 4, dec] × 5, sc 2 (30)
9. Round 14: [dec, sc 3] × 6 (24)
10. Round 15: sc, dec, [sc 2, dec] × 5, sc (18)

Add the Face and Stuff the Head

Insert the safety eyes approximately halfway down the head, or one round below halfway. Test the hat before locking their position because the brim covers much of the head. The eye diameter is not specified.

Embroider the blue nose level with the lower edges of the eyes. Add the mouth beneath it with black embroidery thread or thin black yarn. Stuff the head firmly, then continue into the body.

11. Round 16: FLO sc 18 (18)
12. Round 17: [inc, sc 5] × 3 (21)
13. Round 18: [inc, sc 6] × 3 (24)
14. Round 19: [inc, sc 7] × 3 (27)
15. Rounds 20–22: sc 27 (27)
16. Round 23: Change to maroon; BLO sc 27 (27)
17. Round 24: sc 27 (27)
18. Round 25: [sc 7, dec] × 3 (24)
19. Round 26: [sc 4, dec] × 4 (20)

Stuff the body now. Add slightly more filling than the final shape appears to need and push it away from the working edge, because the opening will no longer be accessible after the legs are formed. The narrow legs require very little stuffing.

Divide and Crochet the Legs

Pinch the 20-stitch opening together. Place two stitch markers across the center stitches, leaving eight stitches between the markers. Counting the two marked stitches and the eight between them allocates 10 stitches to each leg.

For the first leg, crochet until you reach the marked stitch; this marked stitch is the final sc on the back of the doll. The next stitch worked should be the marked stitch on the opposite side.

20. Round 27: sc 10 (10)
21. Round 28: sc 10 (10)
22. Round 29: [sc 3, dec] × 2 (8)
23. Rounds 30–32: Change to beige/brown; sc 8 (8)
24. Rounds 33–34: Change to grey; sc 8 (8)

Fasten off the first leg. Make a slip knot, join it to a stitch at the back of the doll for the second leg, and repeat Rounds 27–34 for the opposite leg.

Arms (Make 2)

The narrow tubes may turn themselves inside out while you work; keep returning the right side to the outside.

1. Round 1: With grey yarn, MR 6 (6)
2. Round 2: sc 6 (6)
3. Rounds 3–9: Change to beige/brown; sc 6 (6)

Do not stuff the arms. Leave a long sewing tail and fasten off. Pin both arms to the sides of the body and check that they sit evenly before sewing. Optional wire may be inserted now for poseability, subject to the safety note above. The backpack straps will cover much of each arm join.

Finishing the Doll

Secure and conceal all ends. Put on the hat, then fit one backpack strap over each shoulder so the bag rests against the back. Check the face, limb alignment, antlers, and knots.

PSave Pin

The amigurumi is complete when the hat clears the eyes, the antlers stand securely, both legs align, and the backpack lies flat.
