Sun Amigurumi

Worsted weight yarn - F hook

In typical Amigurumi fashion we will be working in continuous rounds.  We won’t join at the end of each row, so use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch of each round.  

Make 2:

1. Sc 6 in magic circle. 
2. Inc around    (Inc means 2 sc in one st)
3. (Inc, sc in 1 st) around
4. (Inc, sc in 2 st) around
5. (Inc, sc in 3 st) around
6. (Inc, sc in 4 st) around
7. (Inc, sc in 5 st) around
8. (Inc, sc in 6 st) around
9. (Inc, sc in 7 st) around
10. (Inc, sc in 8 st) around
11. (Inc, sc in 9 st) around
12. Sc around

Add safety eyes and embroider a mouth on the first panel.  On 2nd body panel, don't tie off.  Sc around one more time, this time joining the panels (by stitching through both panels at the same time).  Stuff as you join.  

Rays: 

Attach orange with a sl st in any stitch.
