IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFO FOR Music Note AMIGURUMI PATTERN
Starting round: When starting my crochet pieces in the round, I always use the “ch 2 method.” That is perfectly fine if you prefer to start your pieces using the magic circle/ring instead. These two methods are interchangeable, and the end result will be the same regardless of your choice. If you would like to learn how to do the “ch 2 method,” then see this video HERE.
Right vs. wrong side: When working in the round, I always crochet with the “right” side of the stitches facing out. If you’d like to see the difference between the “right” and “wrong” side of crochet stitches, see this video HERE.
Yarn under vs. yarn over: I always yarn under (YU) instead of yarn over (YO) for all my amigurumi. Doing YO might make your amigurumi slightly larger than mine, so keep that in mind if you prefer YO. If you want more info on this, check out this short video HERE.
Sewing pieces together: I sew all my pieces together using the whipstitch unless otherwise specified.
Stuffing: If you need help stuffing your pieces properly, check out this short video HERE.
THE PATTERN
Note head
R1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sts) (you can use the magic circle if you prefer as it won’t make a difference in the end. If you want to know how to start using the “ch 2 method” that I use, watch this video here HERE)
R2: *inc* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R4: *sc 2, inc* rep 6 times (24 sts)
R5: *sc 3, inc* rep 6 times (30 sts)
R6-12: sc in all 30 sts (7 rounds total – 30 sts)
R13: *sc 3, dec* rep 6 times (24 sts)
Stop and insert your safety eyes between R11 & 12, 6 sts apart. Using gray (for black note) or black (for any other color) embroidery floss, embroider a small smile about 2 sts wide onto R12. Start to stuff continuing as you go.
R14: *sc 2, dec* rep 6 times (18 sts)
R15: *sc 1, dec* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R16: *dec* rep 6 times (6 sts)
Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. Finish stuffing, then sew up the hole neatly since it will be visible. Use this technique HERE to sew it closed neatly.
Stem
R1: ch 2, 4 sc in 2nd ch from hook (4 sts)
R2-11: sc in all 4 sts (10 rounds total – 4 sts)
Now, we’ll make a small flap at the end of the stem. This flap will be what we sew to the side of the head to attach the stem to the head. R12-13 are worked in rows instead of rounds.
R12: ch 1, turn, sc 2 (leave the last 2 sts unworked) (2 sts), ch 1, turn
R13: sc 2 (2 sts)
Finish off, leaving a long tail for sewing. There is no need to stuff the stem. Sew the flap we made to the side of the note head over R5-9 of the head. Pin the stem into place using straight pins to keep it in place while you sew it on.
Flag
Ch 8, starting in 2nd ch, sl st 2, sc 2, hdc 1, dc 1, make 2 dc in the last ch
Finish off leaving long tail for sewing. With the “wrong” side of the flag facing out so that the flag points down, sew to the side of the stem at the very top. Weave in all ends.
