Since my Stitch doll turned out a success, I decided that I wanted a Scrump doll to go along with Stitch. “This is Scrump. I made her. But her head is too big.”—Lilo Pelekai Being ambitious, I wanted to see if I could experiment and create my own crochet pattern. I watched Amiguruku’s YouTube video on how to make your own crochet pattern, so I gave it a try. It took a LOT of trial and error, but I finally completed Scrump. After completing Scrump, I realized that I probably should’ve (1) made the head a little wider, (2) made the belly a little bigger, and (3) placed a red band around her neck. So I’ve incorporated those adjustments to the pattern below. SCRUMP AMIGURUMI CROCHET PATTERN MATERIALS: 4-ply Mint yarn (main color) 4-ply Pink yarn (bow and mouth stitches) 4-ply Red yarn (neck) 4-ply Yellow yarn (hair and sewing button) 4-ply Black yarn (mouth and sewing button) 4-ply Light blue yarn (sewing button) 1 medium black button (right eye) 1 large blue button (left eye) 1 small blue button (navel) Size G crochet hook Yarn needle Polyester fiberfill GLOSSARY: ch - chain stitch st - stitch sl st - slip stitch sc - single crochet inc (increase) - 2 sc into the same 1 stitch dec (decrease) - sc2tog using the invisible decrease FLO - crochet into the front loops only of each stitch TECHNIQUES: Magic ring - I recommend watching this YouTube tutorial. Changing yarn colors - I recommend watching this YouTube tutorial. Note: Numbers in () indicate number of stitches at the end of that round or row. Pattern for all parts (except the hair and bow main piece) are worked in unjoined spirals. Use a stitch marker to keep track of rounds. At the end of each round, move marker to loop on your hook.
