REVERSIBLE FLOWER BOUQUET

& BRIDE

Amigurumi

TIPS

•

Try working tight stitches. Use a smaller

crochet hook for better result.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

o Do not work too tight, so the plushie is still

stretchable.

o Work every part using the same stitch

tension.

•

Count your stitches.

•

Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark

ending or beginning of the round

•

Each round is worked in a continuous spiral. Do

not join rounds with slip stitch or turn unless

stated otherwise.

•

Crochet through both loops unless stated

otherwise.

•

It is highly recommended that you read

through the pattern completely before

beginning to crochet.

you use the same materials as me, the finished

amigurumi is about 10.5 cm (4.1”) tall for bride

side and 7 cm (2.76”) tall for flower bouquet side.

SPECIAL TECHNIQUES

Invisible Finish

After completing the last st, cut the yarn and pull

on the loop to draw the tail. Using the tapestry

needle, skip the next st, and insert the needle from

front to back, under both loops. Go back to the last

st, and insert the needle through the back loop of

this st. Pull on the tail.

sl st to the first st of R2. Then continue to make the

hair strands.

Strand 1 : 14ch. Start from the second loop from

the hook: sl st, 12sc. Sl st to the next st

Strand 2-5 : 8ch. Start from the second loop from

the hook: sl st, 6sc. Sl st to the next st

Strand 6 : do the same as strand 1

the next st

Fasten off, leave a long tail for sewing.

Attach the hair to the head with the wrong side

facing outwards.

Notes:

•

You can sew the hair or use glue. If you use

glue, be aware that the area where the glue is

applied will become stiffer. This can make it

difficult to sew the flowers on her head later.

•

If you are going to sew all the strands together,

don’t sew them all the way to the hair tip. It is

recommended to sew it about 5st above the sl

st, in order to give a nice curl and the hair can

stay closer to the head.

Use the dark brown yarn to embroider the eyes at

R10. Look at the pictures. With dark brown yarn

(use only 1 ply), embroider the eyebrows at R8.

Embroider the blush on the cheeks using pink

yarn, between R11-12.

BRIDE’S SKIRT

tail, approximately 10 cm (4”). This tail will be used

central part of the bow. Secure the ends. Leave a

long tail for sewing.

And then, sew the ribbon to the bouquet, near to

3 pieces of flower 2 (in light pink and light peach)

at the skirt.

JOINING THE BOUQUET WRAPPER

& THE BRIDE’S SKIRT

Turn the bouquet wrapper and the bride’s skirt

inside out with the wrong/ugly sides facing you.

Tie a knot with the yarn tails from the magic rings

of both bouquet wrapper and the bride’s skirt,

leaving a space between them.

Turn the bouquet wrapper back with the

right/good side facing you, and leave the skirt

intact at the wrong/ugly side. No need to stuff

with fiberfill. Push the skirt inside the bouquet

wrapper.

Join the last rounds of the bouquet wrapper and

the bride. Sew them together with light pink tail

through the BL of each piece. To finish, make a

knot and hide the tail.

After joining the bouquet and the bride’s skirt,

Continue working the bouquet side.

Hold the bouquet with its flowers facing you.

Attach the cream yarn to the FL of R18. And work:

[sl st, sc, hdc inc, sc]x13, 2sl st. Fasten off, secure

and hide the tails.

Now, turn the bouquet inside out so the bride is

facing outside, because now we are going to work

the bride’s side.

Hold the bride with her skirt facing you.

With the white yarn tail left from the last round of

the bride’s skirt (page 4)*, work at the FL R18: ch1,

sc at the same st, [sl st, sc, hdc inc, sc]x13, sl st.
