Amigurumi Crochet Hook Plushie with Pattern
And of course he is happy about it.
In it’s very own “Pimp my Ride” putting things in things style splendor, I present to you the amigurumi crochet, crochet hook… an amigurumi plushie of a… crochet hook. I know right? I made him an E hook, which is my preferred amigurumi hook size, and the same size I used to make him even. I’m not too sure what I will do with this little guy, maybe hang him from my rear view mirror or create an altar to the awesomeness of crochet. As with all my patterns, this pattern is a freebie of course. Hookers rejoice!
He's a crochet hook made of crochet.

D'awwwwwwww
Terminology
SC = Single Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
HDC = Half Double Crochet
SL ST = Slip Stitch
INVDEC = Invisible Decrease
INC = Increase
CH = Chain
Body
CH 2 or Magic Ring or start however you like. Work this in joined rounds and not a spiral and work in both loops unless otherwise specified.
1. CH x 2 (this does not count as a stitch) DC x 12; join with a slip stitch (12)
2. SL ST around; (12) CH x 1
3. SC around in the back loop only of each DC (technique is similar to this; (12) join then CH x 1
4. SC around (worked through both loops again); (12) join then CH x 1
5 – 20. repeat round 4 for rounds 5 through 20; (12)
21. SC x 5, INVDEC, SC x 5; (11) join then CH x 1
22. SC x 11; (11) join then CH x 1
23. SC x 5, INVDEC, SC x 4; (10) join then CH x 1
24. SC x 4, INVDEC, SC x 4; (9) join then CH x 1
25. SC x 3, INVDEC, SC x 4; (8) join then CH x 1
26. SC x 3, INVDEC, SC x 3; (7) join then CH x 1
27. SC x 7; (7) join then finish off leaving a long tail for sewing
Reinforce the body with a tube of plastic canvas to keep a well shaped, straight hook that isn’t puffy or bloated. You can weight the bottom so it stands.
Hook Tip
CH 2 or Magic Ring or start however you like. Work this in joined rounds and not a spiral and work in both loops.
1. SC x 6; (6) join then CH x 1
2. SC x 2, HDC then DC in same stitch from the previous round, DC then HDC in next stitch from the previous round, SC x 2; (8) join then CH x 1
3. SC x 3, HDC then DC in same stitch from the previous round, DC INC, DC INC, DC then HDC in same stitch from the previous round, SC x 3; (12) join then finish off leaving a long tail for sewing.
This should make a lopsided dome. The end that is SCs will be stitched to the neck of the hook and the part that is DCs and HDCs will be pinched together and stitched to create the bird beak type crochet hook shape of the tip. Sew and shape the hook end first, then stitch the SCs of the hook end onto the neck of the hook body.

I wonder if you can use this to crochet with super bulky yarn………
Sort of! The head isn’t stiff enough to make it practical and the surface of the hook is not smooth so pulling loops through has to be done delicately as there is a fair bit of friction, but it can be done.
could you please tell me, where can I buy this yarn and what is the name of it? thanks very much, I love crochet but just starting.
The yarn I used is called Bernat Handicrafter Cotton. I bought it at Walmart. You can use any kind of kitchen cotton like Lily Sugar & Cream or an acrylic like Red Heart. Basically any yarn will do, just use an appropriately sized hook
