Soozie – Amigurumi Monster:
Soozie the Amigurumi Monster kept pulling funny faces at her Mom behind her back when they were walking home from school and one day there was a big gust of wind when she went to open her mouth to pull another silly face and her face stuck like that, now Soozie just looks surprised at everything she sees. It’s safe to say she won’t be pulling silly faces at anyone anytime soon.
About My Amigurumi Designs:
Most of these special amigurumi patterns i make are loveable friendly monsters, they may look a bit different, sometimes scary or unusual but that’s what makes them unique and just because they look different on the outside they are all the same on the inside – cute and squishy! If you come and get to know each and every one of them you will soon see they all have different personalities and unique qualities about them and even the scary looking ones are actually quite friendly they just need a loving home.
Yarn:
For this amigurumi pattern i used Ricorumi which has an lots of different shades which all compliment each other. It is made with 100% cotton which is perfect for amigurumi projects as you can really see the stitch definition and that is exactly what you want with your amigurumi piece.

- Starting at the top right hand corner join panels together using a very long piece of candy pink yarn and darning needle
- Start by weaving them in and out of both panels and at the same time place one of the hair piece ends between both panels and secure all of them together by going through all the stitches
- Repeat the hair process evenly across the top of the panels until all hair and panels are completely attached to each other
- Seam the left side of the panels together
- When you get to the bottom of the panels secure the feet the same way you did the hair by going through all the stitches
- As you start to secure up the right hand side of the panels stuff the body firmly with toy stuffing
- Once the entire piece is joined, fasten off and weave in ends.
