Crochet level: intermediate and above.
While in all of my patterns, I explain in great detail how to make the specific toy featured in the pattern, my patterns are intended for crafters who already have at least basic experience in crocheting stuffed toys.
For Mini Amigurumis, experience in working with small size steel crochet hooks is a required prerequisite.
You can train by making your first toy in a thicker yarn weight (DK/SPORT) with a hook of the appropriate larger size (it should go without saying that such a toy will turn out larger, and you will need more stuffing), then gradually progressing to smaller and smaller toys, always using thinner yarn and a matching smaller hook.

To create a medium-sized toy, you can use any suitable yarn of the DK or Sport category.

Materials:
Choose the main color of the yarn (for the body, shoes) - approximately 7 grams of threads the main colour; color for the legs; color for the mitts.
Flesh-colored yarn, yarn for the mask.
And white yarn for the mitts and hair (I used wool yarn).

  • Black embroidery thread for the eyes.

  • 0.7 mm metal crochet hook (or any hook that fits the size of the selected yarn)

  • the metal (or glass) granulated (d 1.8 mm) (for the weight of the body, optional)

  • stuffing (hollow fiber or synthetic down 100% polyester)

  • a thin needle for embroidery eyes

  • a long needle (for embroidery hair)

  • slim but durable cardboard for the sole and glue

  • paper covered wire (for the arms and for glasses) I used a wire with a diameter of 0.55 mm

  • sharp nail scissors

  • metal thimble on your finger (the thimble is used for embroidery of eyes and hair)
