This cute, giant platelet is easy and fast to crochet, and will bring a smile to any biologist, hematologist or scientific who owns it! Moreover it is the perfect companion for my amigurumi white and red blood cells!

The PDF includes step-by-step written instructions and visual references and photo-tutorials to help you, and it is available in English and Spanish.

Level: beginner.
You need to be familiar with the basic stitches used in amigurumis (chains, single crochet (US)/double crochet (UK), slip stitches, increases, invisible decreases, crochet in the back bump of a chain; there are photo-tutorials to learn how to invisible decrease and how to crochet in the back bump of a chain with both right- and left-handed versions, if you need them), and with sewing parts.

Yarn and hooks: You can use any yarn weight you prefer, you only have to choose a suitable hook so you can crochet tight enough so the stuffing does not show.
