Mr Spaghetti Meatballs!

This amigurumi has been created by me for the World Amigurumi Exhibition.

It represent a creature made of spaghetti and meatballs, a typical italian dish famous all around the world!

Tools and materials you’ll need:

- Yellow acrylic yarn

- White acrylic yarn

- Brown acrylic yarn

- Red acrylic yarn

- Yellow thin thread

- Safety eyes

- Crochet hook n. 3

- Crochet hook n. 2

- Needle for wool

- Stitching needle

You'll also need to know how to make:

- Chain stitch

- Single crochet

- Magic circle

Create a cylinder shape (all in single crochet) with the yellow yarn.

Make 2 quite big round eye balls (white yarn - single crochet + safety plastic eyes in the middle) and a bit smaller mouth (yellow yarn - single crochet). Then stitch some red yarn on it in order to have a "licking tomato souce effect"...

Stitch eye balls and mouth in the right place (see picture) on the cylinder shape.

With the smallest crochet hook (n. 2) make more less 5 mt. of crocheted yarn using just the simple chain stitch.

Wind the rope you've made on a wool ball.

With a needle and a thin yellow thread stitch patiently the long rope previously made all around the cylinder shape.

Use brown yarn to make some meatballs (single crochet) and put on safety eyes in the wrong way. Stitch a bit of red yarn (licking tomato sauce effect) on top of them.

Stitch all the meatballs random on the Mr Spaghetti and...taaadaah!
