Supplies you'll need for crochet Mr. Mime
General supplies:
- Crochet hook 2,5 mm, I always use clover amour hooks for my projects!
- Sewing needle
- Stuffing
- Stitch marker
- wiring for the limbs. I used pipecleaners, but any wiring will do.
With Amigurumi you guage doesn’t matter much. Using smaller hook and yarn will make you finished Mr. Mime smaller, and bigger hook and yarn will make him bigger. Just make sure that your yarn and hook fits together and makes a tight fabric so the stuffing won’t show through!
For my version, about 15cm tall, or 6 inches, you will need the following yarn.
I reccomend Hobbii Rainbow cotton 8/4. This yarn is a 100% cotton and very nice to work with! With this yarn, I use a 2,5 mm hook (or a B-1 or C-2 should work too!). If Rainbow cotton is sold out, I can also recommend Friends cotton as a direct substitute.
- 1 x of a light pink shade. I recommend pastel purple (41) or pastel pink (42)
- 1 x darker pink shade. I recommend Light Pink (62)
- 1 x white. I recommend White (01) or Neutral White (02)
- 1 x navy blue. I recommend Navy blue (30) or Prussian Blue (92)
- A bit of a coral type color and dark red for the mouth
- A bit of black or embroidery thread

The hands are built by first making the fingers and connecting them to continue to form the palm of the hand.

Face details
I have crocheted all of the pieces to the face, and instructions for these are down below. You can of course use felt or a type of fabric if you wish to do this instead.
Mouth
You need a dark red color and a coral or pinkish color for his tongue.
Start in dark red. Chain 8.
Hdc in 2nd chain from the hook, 5sc, hdc (7)
Change color to the coral/pink in the last loop of the hdc.
ch 1 and turn the work.
sc, 2hdc, dc, 2hdc, sc (7)
ch 1 and turn your work. Now make 7 ss along you work to make a nice edge.
FO.
Cheeks
In the dark pink color.
8 sc in mr.
ss and FO. Make 2 cheeks.
Eyes
In white.
Do the following in a mr. sc, hdc, 2c, hdc, sc.
Pull the magic ring tight and FO. Embroider long pupils in the eye. This might be easier to do when the eyes are attached so you get the placement right.
Make 2
Assembly
Start by attaching the head and body. Both pieces ended with 30 sc, so they can easily be sown together by using one stitch from head and one stitch from the body all around. Stuff firmly before you close up the head-body piece.
Attach the hand to the arms and the feet to the legs.
I recommend pinning all the pieces roughly in shape before you start sewing the rest. This will give you a good idea of where the pieces go and how much space they take up. Be sure to note where the body is widest. The widest part will be seen from the front/back.
Attach the horns between rnd 4-10 on each side of the head.
Attach the arms right below the connection between head and body with them being attached to the body.
The belly piece is attached in the center of the body. Mine is placed between rnd 7-14.
The legs are attached at the sides of the body between rnd 5-9. When placing the legs, try to make the piece balance, this way the finished piece should be able to balance on his own – although he might fall over if a wind hits him!
Lastly pin on the face details and sew them in place. Make sure to add in a bit of black embroidery around the mouth/cheek area to make his face pop!
