Play chess on a large scale with this Amigurumi Chess Set! The rook is 5-7/8” tall with linked tr stitches used to create the castle turrets!

In addition to the amigurumi rook, this pattern set includes instructions for the king, queen, bishop, knight and pawn; as well as a quick chess board afghan created with join-as-you-go motifs!

SPECIAL DEAL: If you are planning to purchase the Triple Strategy Afghan Set pattern, do not add this listing to your cart. It is already included as a BONUS to the Triple Strategy Afghan Set. The Triple Strategy Afghan is a double-sided afghan, using my double mosaic technique, to create chess/checkers on one side and backgammon on the other!

Finished Size:
5-7/8” high x 6” diameter

Skill Level:
Intermediate

Yardage:
400 yds. of each color to make a total of four rooks.

Additional Materials:
5-7/8” plastic canvas circles were enclosed at the bottom of the chess piece to create stability.

This pattern is written in standard U.S. terms.
