Amigurumi Yorkie Tutorial

Novice Sandy on Knitting Paradise found this absolutely adorable pattern for an
Amigurumi Yorkie. The only problem is the pattern is incomprehensible. I think it was
originally written in Japanese and the translation is really bad. Fortunately, I have

 crocheted some amigurumi patterns using the Japanese chart method so I get what's
going on here, so here is my translation. I did have to change a few things here and there,
but I think it's pretty true to the original pattern.

Finished Size:
About 7 inches High x 5 inches Wide

Materials:

Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, worsted weight, Warm Brown

C or size 2 Hook, such as Clover Soft Touch 2.75-mm Crochet Hooks, Size C
Stitch Marker

Embroidery Floss in light browns, beiges, dark yellows and black, such
as DMC Prism Six-Strand Floss
Red Heart Shimmer yarn , Black
Lion Brand, Vanna's Glamour yarn , Topaz
2 round black shank buttons, such as Slimline Buttons Series 1-Black Shank
3/4"
Tapestry Needle, such as Clover Gold Eye Tapestry, No. 18-22
Abbreviations:
Rnd--round ch(s)--chain(s) sc(s) single crochet(s) st(s)--stitch(es)
sc2tog--single crochet 2 stitches together

Head
Start with a magic circle
Rnd 1: Ch 1, 6 scs in circle (6scs)

From now on put a stitch marker in the first sc of each rnd.

 I've had some questions about how to sew on the fur that is pulled up between the ears, so
I'm adding this to help with this question.
Attach yarn at the bottom of the snout for the hair that is pulled up between the ears.

Once you have enough yarn attached, pull it up between the ears and use some attached
yarn by the ears to tie the yarn up.

I sewed the yarn up underneath the base of the head and made it even lengths on both side and
cut it. I went all around the head that way and then I sewed yarn underneath the yarn I had
already done to make it thicker and then trimmed it a little longer than the first row. I did
about 3 rows altogether.

Thank you for this! I had seen that Yorkie Pattern and I took it and wrote it down so that I
could make it and did, but it was one of the first things I had done and I didn't quite know how
to put it all together correctly but it seemed to come out ok. Now I will use your instructions
and try to make it again. I don't know how to send you a pic but I could show you a pic of the
one I made from the original pattern and then I'll have to see how it comes out using your
pattern which will be much easier!

Hi, I love this pattern and your Yorkie looks amazing. However, is there somewhere I can get a
really simplified set of instructins as I'm a beginner and really struggling to understand
making a magic circle without it turning more into a tube. I'm from UK and so I'm not sure if
terminology differs or if I'm just being really slow! I would love to make one of these for my
mum and was told crochet was really easy but I'm starting to doubt that. Thanks!

You can try this video by Crochet Geek
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHYVutk2iYY

Make sure you pull the tail tightly once you join your circle together. Once you finish
the piece you can sew the tail in to make the hole stay closed.

If you are still having problems you can chain 2 and then do all the stitches in the
second chain (first chain you made) from the hook.

Also, I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but UK crochet terms are different from US
terms. A UK sc is an US dc (double crochet). To see how to do an sc US style take a
look at my baby rattle pattern. It has graphics on how to do single crochet.
http://crochetparfait.blogspot.com/2012/07/baby-rattlecat-toy-pattern.html

Crochet Geek also has a good video tutorial on how to do single crochet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hwHtyJFMf0
There are links in the pattern for special stitches, like the sc2tog that will lead you
tutorials.

Hi Pam,
Loved this little Yorkie as soon as I saw the picture.
I have it made, and am now starting to put the "hair" on it. I don't understand how to
do that part. At first I was pulling yarn under a stitch, and wrapping it back around the
stitch to hold in place, but after looking over the instructions again, I removed what I had
completed, and started just pulling the yarn under the stitches, and letting it hang. If I do
that though, I thought that will just pull out of the stitches.
How do I actually keep the yarn "hair" in place?

Pam G March 15, 2013 at 5:09 PM

You could try knotting the hair, close to the stitches, on either side, but I just pulled
it through. I guess it depends on whether it's going to sit around looking pretty or
get played with.

Reply

Judy Hart March 16, 2013 at 5:35 AM

Thanks Pam, I just can't find a knot I like the look of. Have no plans for it, so will probably just
go with hoping it just sits around looking pretty.
I loved this pattern, it will join my 3 other yorkies, they look at it like what is that! I hope the
little one doesn't get ahold of it to pull the hair out. My three are real yorkies.
Thanks again for this patter, it is the first time I have tried one like this.

I just love the look of this adorable Yorkie. Since my youngest daughter has two REAL Yorkies,
I am definitely going to give this pattern a go, although I have never tried to do an animal
before...just mainly lapghans and afghans. Maybe I can get Miley and Endie to pose for me
when it's time to assemble and put on the finishing touches! :) What do you think??? LOL
Many thanks for posting this! Much appreciated.

I'm saving this pattern~ i want to make it for my friend's birthday, fortunately not until
February. This will take me a while, as I'm in the middle of two baby blankets and a queen-
sized spread in size 10 thread. But I will prevail!

This pattern should be a lot less work than that queen-sized spread. My hat is off to
you!

Unknown August 30, 2013 at 6:52 PM

Blankets are finished! So I've got the dog made...and I know I'm going to have to
make a Skippyjon Jones next (he's a chihuahua, and this pattern would be perfect)
and I have some questions. Does it matter what order you do the hair in? Black
first? And I wasn't able to find the exact brands, but I think they'll work. I've got
black bamboo viscose instead of the shimmer. But how long did you cut the strands?
and how much did you use?

My many grateful thanks,

I got a question asking about the order of sewing on the fur. On the legs, sew on the fur from
the bottom up so you can see what you are doing. Other wise the yarn will cover up where you
need to sew on next. The yarn I used is just a suggestion, other crocheters have used different
yarns to great effect, check out these examples on Ravelry.com.

Vicki Curry September 21, 2014 at 9:43 PM

(From a groomer) The part on a Yorkie head goes from the outside eye corner to the inside ear
corner, straight across to the other inside ear corner, and form the other outside eye corner to
the inside ear corner on that side, making a square, with the hair growing between the eyes
also being pulled up into the topknot. Hold the hair straight up, place a band, the fold over
toward the back of the head and place a second band directly over (or on top of) the first band.
The hair ends should go back between the ears and blend in with the rest of the hair on the
head and neck. No hair from the back of the head or the neck goes into the topknot. This will
help your pup look more realistic. Hope this helps! LOVE the pattern! I plan to make my own
soon, and maybe a schnauzer as well!

around?
Reply

Replies

Pam G December 17, 2015 at 6:10 AM

I'm not sure if you are talking about the body or the head, but in each case from
rows 14 to 16 you will be doing a specified amount of scs followed by a decrease
(sc2tog). This lowers the stitch count as you move from row to row. So for example

Rnd 14: 1 sc in next 5 scs, sc2tog (36 scs) do one sc in each of the next 5 scs and then
do a sc2tog over the next 2 scs, then repeat 6 times until you have made 36 stitches
altogether (I called them all scs because this is what they look like but there will
actually be 30 scs and 6 sc2tog stitches. If you don't know how to do the sc2tog
stitch you can find it here http://crochetparfait.blogspot.com/p/sc2tog.html

For both the body and the head, after you have increased to 48 stitches you do 2
rows (10 and 11) with no increases or decreases, then you start to decrease on row
12.

Hi Pam! I've loved this pattern since I first saw it a long time ago and am finally getting around
to making it. I do have a question though. I'm a single, disabled mom so obviously my funds
are limited and unfortunately I don't have a car. So I was wondering if it is absolutely
necessary to use the embroidery floss and the black glossy or if you think I could get away with
using regular yarn for the hair? I really want to make it but if it isn't going to look right using
regular yarn then I don't want to waste my time.

Thank you for translating the pattern. Your work is beautiful!
