Most of my inspirations to make amigurumis come from Pinterest and Instagram. Recently, i've been seeing kawaii potatoes everywhere and can't seem to get it off my mind. I tried making an ami version of them with different expressions and happy with the way they turned out. It's a perfect project for beginners as you don't have to attach any pieces and very less sewing involved. 

Materials needed: 
  • Yarn in light beige colour
  • Crochet hook according to the size of your yarn.
  • Tapestry needle.
  • A little bit of brown and pink felt.
  • Safety eyes ( I have used 5 mm safety eyes).
  • Black thread (for embroidering mouth and eyebrows).
Stitches used:
This pattern is written in US English terms.
ch - chain.
sc - single crochet.
rep ** - repeat stitches between **.

Using beige color yarn,

R2: 2sc in each st (12)
R3:  *sc in next st, 2 sc in next st*, rep **(18)

Assembling:

  •   With black thread, embroider the mouth and eyebrows.
  • Add a little blush using pink felt.
And your kawaii potato is ready!

    I have used angry, sad and happy expressions on my potato. You can add many more cute expressions to yours. Hope you'll enjoy making this little Potato. Have a wonderful day :)
