- How to knit a basic cute Kawaii amigurumi Animal body with just 2 tubes on a knitting machine. You can do this with a circular knitting machine, hand knitting loom and even hand knitting circular needles! Give this project a go!
The tubes are stitched together with simple stitches and filled with crafter's polyfill toy stuffing.
Anybody can make cute kawaii animals!
I love that the pattern (recipe) can be modified to make all kinds of fun creations!
Tools and Materials:
48 needles Circular Knitting Machine in Tube Mode (or knitting loom or size 8/9/10 hand knitting circular knitting needles)
Clippy Stitch Markers
Darning Needle
Embroidery Needle
Scissors
#4 Worsted Yarn
I used Lion Brand Wool Ease for the light color and Lion Brand Pound of love for the main color.
Safety Eyes or Embroidery Floss
Poly Fill Toy Stuffing
Basic Amigurumi Animal only 2 Pieces
Pattern & Instructions:
Body 50 row tube
Head 45 row tube
Instructions:
To make Body Knit 50 rounds total (do any color changes you like within the 50 rounds)
Stretch and Flatten the tube.
Close the ends flat (don't cinch closed)
You want a flat double layer of fabric with closed finished ends.
Fold in Half to make a long skinny rectangle.
Place a securing whip stitch in the middle of the long edge.
Stitch 5 rows out from both sides of the whip stitching to close the belly.
Fold the short end down in making 2 arms or legs.
Stitch the first set of arms /legs closed all the way to the belly seam (see video)
Use Poly Fill stuffing to fill in the legs/arms and body up the the edge of the closed tube.
Fold down to make the 2nd set of legs/arms stitch the underside of both arms/legs but stop before closing commpletely-
stuff the arms/legs and add a bit more to the body.
Finish closing the body.
Body is done.
Head (45 rounds total)
Knit 25 rounds add a single drawstring with the working yarn
(tuck the draw string ends to the right side of the tube)
Knit 20 rounds
Cinch cast off edge closed.
Partially cinch Cast on edge then close with flat seam (this will be on the outside and visible)
Push cinched closed end of tube to the inside -
Pull the drawstring to PARTIALLY CLOSE the bottom of the head
Place Safety eyes and nose if you are using them
Use Poly Fill to stuff the inner head liner.
Use Drawstring to completely close the bottom of the head - stitch shut tightly.
Stitch head to body securely
Shape Ears by pulling on the outer layer of the head - stitch in place.
This is where your critter gets it's personality!
Stitch Eyes and nose if you didnt use safety eyes.
You are done!

So cute, but I'm going to have to watch it again!!!! love it.
Love this video. Could you please tell us the row counts for the lambs head and ears. Its really cute.
Oh my goodness! I need to make it again so I can figure the counts out. I’ll post as soon as I do know the numbers. Thank you so much for watching and your question.
I was totally confused at first but it really came together. Very creative construction. Hope to give this a try.
Oh I’m so happy to hear that I was able to clarify the instructions by the end. I hope you enjoy the project!
Thank you for the tip on how to put in a drawstring. Will be making this cub for charity.
I’m so happy to hear that you learned a new trick to making your charity knitting easier! There will be so many happy recipients of your creativity! Thank you for watching!
Aww so cute!!! You truly are making the most adorable critters Stephanie!!! 🥰
Oh thank you my friend! I’m having fun and loving the opportunities to explore these little critters as ways to design patterns to share!
Would love a video on the lamb! 🥰
Oh yes a lamb would be easy and fun! I just want to find some fun. Yarn to do make it soft and squishy! Thank you for watching
This is fantastic thank you . I'm on it now 😍
Whoohoo! Have fun. Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial. I used to sew little cats this way of fabric. But why not to do it from knitted fabric? Great idea.
Whoohoo! I haven’t thought of doing this with regular fabric. Thank you for watching and sharing your creative ideas
❤❤❤❤❤
What is the yarn count for a striped cat? Thanks
Great question- I need to make a stripped cat to figure that out. I would probably do alternating colors 3 rows main color and 2 rows stripe color. For however many stripes you want - finishing with the main color.
Thanks for watching!
What are the row counts for the small kitten please? 1/2 of all the counts?
I just went and counted the little kitty stitches- sorry the message last night was really wrong. Thank you for watching and your question! I am sorry I haven’t made the video for the small kitten yet.
I made it on the 22 needle knitting machine tube that is 20 rows for the head and another tube that is 25 rows for the body. Assemble the same as the big kitty 🐈⬛.
No worries. Your videos are very appreciated. I’ll try a mini kitty in my 22 Addi.
💖💖🙏🙏💖💖
So happy you like it! What animal would you make?
@@StephanieBCreativity I like the kitty but would like to attempt a fox.
