Amigurumi Kirby with Pattern and Bonus Smash Brothers hats!
Kirby Amigurumi Pattern
My Kirby pattern has been a long time coming, mainly because I got too ambitious with Super Smash Brothers versions to finish and post it. Initially, in honour of the recent release of Kirby’s epic yarn, the project was going to include patterns for 10 or so Kirby hats, so that he could be more epic and morph into his various SSB versions and be Link Kirby, Mario Kirby, Wario Kirby, you get the idea.
As with most things I do though, I got distracted and started working on other stuff and finished up the Mario and Peach hats only, so these will have to do for now. I might make more later, but if my fabulous readers make a Kirby and decide to make him a SSMB hat, email me photos and the pattern if you are kind enough to share and I will post it with credit. As with all my patterns, Kirby is free.
Mario Kirby
Peach Kirby
Kirby haz a happy!
Kirby was made with a 3.5mm hook going through both loops. The eyes and mouth are painted wool felt glued on and the blush is a light dusting of paint. Embroidery or other techniques would get the job done just fine as well.

hi! can you have a close up on the eyes and mouth? or could you give a tutorial on them?
It’s cut out felt with a bit of painting on it. The tutorial for painting on blush cheeks is basically the same technique, only do it on felt, not on the fabric of the amigurumi. You glue it on to the amigurumi with fabric glue.

I jus made the flipper and I thing something must be gone wrong, because it doesn’t form a pocket so you can stuff it, its rather flat, because there is no decrease in the flipper pattern so i guess..
There isn’t supposed to be a decrease. It should be like a wide ice cream cone, you stuff it and pin it on. It is worked in the round and should not be flat.
do you have a picture of the flipper before you pin it on?
No.
so the eyes and mouth are paper, right? U draw it and stick in on,, right?
No they are felt.

thank you
this is so easy ,my daughter(11years old crochet beginner)
could make it.
I use light blue yarn and made Prince Fluff with crown

Can you just make a tutorial please?!! I’m really bad at patterns!
No. I don’t have that kind of time. Can you just use the thorough resources available to you and learn to follow patterns please? I’m really bad at making time for tutorial videos for every single pattern!

About how much yarn did this take?
Not much, a lot less than a ball of each.
Hi there,
I want to make Kirby but I’m wondering what you are using for the eyes and mouth. Is that just felt? Because it lookes very thin. You’ve also painted on it, is that correct? And did you glue it on? Because i don’t see any thread holding it.
Could you explain it to me because the detailing looks great!!
Thanks so much, Yessica
It is felt but it isn’t acrylic felt like you buy at the craft store, it is a real wool felt that is made much thinner. I bought it online but you can also buy from some local yarn stores. That said, slightly thicker acrylic flt works fine too. I glued it on to the surface of the amigurumi with fabric glue once the features were painted on. Any acrylic paint or fabric paint will work to paint on felt.
This is so vute i could just die
que es carolina del sur????….. me confundoooo!!! @.@
Sorry I don’t understand what you are asking. Please try asking in English.
She is asking “What is Carolina from the south?…She is confused!” I don’t know what she is talking about so I’m just clueless as to what exactly she is talking about.
On another note, thank you for sharing such a wonderful pattern! I made mine in one night and already have the kids fighting over it.
Oh wait…I think she is asking what is “sc”…which is single crochet! LOL
Oh my, that’s… not good.
I finished my kirby with a mario hat from your pattern. He’s so cute
Here is my creation: http://femjo.deviantart.com/#/d5f7t6z
I made kirby white and grey like one of the versions from ssbb
How big does he end up?
8 inches I think?
Is there a way to make it any bigger?
Yes please review all of the comments. This question has been asked and answered for this pattern.
I made Kirby and Prince Fluff with this pattern! I would love to send a pic.
When attaching the arms and feet, after sewing it, what do u do with the tail? Do you just cut it off or secure it in some way?
Weave in then snip off once secured.
For the jewel on the crown, is that felt or a glob of fabric paint?
I used felt although fabric paint could work well too.
How did u get the blush color on the cheeks?
Here is a tutorial.
im so confused on row 6 for mario hat… i dont see how it works, help please, if not its cool… >_<
6. SC then INC (repeat 4 times for a total of 15 stitches); SC, SC, INC, SC, SC (repeat 3 times for a total of 24 stitches); (39)
Do this: Single crochet in one stitch from the previous round, then increase in the next stitch from the previous round. Do it again 4 times. This makes a total of 15 stitches spread over 10 stitches from the previous round. Those instructions were for the first half of the round, for the next half do this, single crochet in one stitch from the previous round, single crochet in the next stitch from the previous round, increase in the next stitch from the previous round, single crochet in the next stitch from the previous round and single crochet in the next stitch from the previous round. Now repeat that sequence (the instructions for the second half of the round) 3 more times for a total of 24 stitches spread out over 20 stitches from the previous round.
He’s awesome! Would you be able to make the Yoshi hat? I love this, and it’s great that you made this pattern available. Thanks
Not sure I would get around to it but thank you.
Why do u always have great patterns
thinking of making this for my friend !!
Thanks so much
I thought so but I didn’t want to assume and come out with a lopsided Kirby. Much obliged. 
Do we join the rounds?
Spiral is recommended for this pattern. I usually only specify joined rounds if the pattern has striping or specifid requirements for symmetry, so if it doesn’t say work in joined rounds and have join then CH 1 at the end of each round, it’s safe to assume you are working in a spiral
