Owl Amigurumi – Mr Murasaki

Mr Murasaki is an introvert through and through. He finds it exhausting to be around people. His favourite pastime includes napping in the hollows of newly-discovered trees – just to “test them out”, he says.

Tools and materials needed. You only need a small amount of yarns for ears and nose, where you can search them from your stash. A little different in yarn weight is not a problem as they only affect the finished size of them, for example, bigger or smaller ears and nose could be more adorable, so don’t let the limitation stop you from creating.

Completed ears, nose and the body until R14.

Sew nose slightly higher than the beginning round of the body.

Insert the safety eyes about between R8 and R9, about 4 stitches apart.

Bring the yarn ends of the ear to the center by sewing them along the side using a tapestry needle. Repeat the same to another ear.

Sew the center line of the ears to the body (at R13)

Sew the second ear to the body, with about 1 – 2 stitches gap in between 2 ears.

Continue to crochet till R18, stuff the body with poly-fill or light color stockings. The amount of stuffing depends on how dense you want your piggy bun to be.

Continue crochet to close up the body and fasten off. Hide yarn end into the body.

2 little piggy buns done…. Personally, I think the piggy bun could be great as stress ball where you could squeeze to release some tension that stressed you out! Happy amigurumi!
