Recipe: Crochet Saint Francis Amigurumi Pattern

Materials:

• Yarn: Brown (robe), cream (skin), black (shoes), yellow (halo and bell)
• Crochet hook: 3.0 mm
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Stitch markers

Instructions:

1. Head and Body:
   • Head: Using cream yarn, start with a magic ring. Work 6 single crochets (SC) into the ring. Increase to 12 stitches in the next round, then 18, and continue increasing until you reach 36 stitches. Crochet evenly for 6 rounds, then begin decreasing to close the head. Stuff with fiberfill before finishing.
   • Body: Switch to brown yarn. Start with 12 SC, increase gradually to 36 stitches, and crochet evenly for 8 rounds. Decrease to create the base, stuffing as you go.
2. Robe and Hood:
   • Create the robe by crocheting an additional layer in brown around the body base for texture.
   • For the hood, chain 20 stitches and work in rows to form a rectangular shape. Attach it around the head for a draped look.
3. Arms and Legs:
   • Arms: Use brown yarn to crochet tubes, about 6 rounds long. Stuff lightly and attach to the sides of the body.
   • Legs: Use black yarn for the shoes. Crochet small ovals and attach them to the base of the body.
4. Halo and Bell:
   • Halo: Use yellow yarn to chain 30 and join into a circle. Crochet two rounds of SC and attach it to the head.
   • Bell: Crochet a small cone shape using yellow yarn, starting with 6 SC in a magic ring and gradually increasing. Add a loop and attach to the hand.
5. Finishing Details:
   • Embroider eyes and a smile using black thread.
   • Add small accessories like a book or tiny animals for extra charm.
