Crochet amigurumi Raccoon Timmy pattern

Head

With gray yarn:

1: 6 sc in MR = 6 sc
2: (inc) x 6 times = 12 sc
3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 times = 18 sc
4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 times = 24 sc
5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 times = 30 sc
6: (4 sc, inc) x 6 times = 36 sc
7: (5 sc, inc) x 6 times = 42 sc
8: (6 sc, inc) x 6 times = 48 sc
9: (7 sc, inc) x 6 times = 54 sc
10: (8 sc, inc) x 6 times = 60 sc
Rows 11-19: crochet without changes = 60 sc (9 rows)
20: (8 sc, dec) x 6 times = 54 sc
21: (7 sc, dec) x 6 times = 48 sc
22: (6 sc, dec) x 6 times = 42 sc
23: (5 sc, dec) x 6 times = 36 sc
24: (4 sc, dec) x 6 times = 30 sc
25: (3 sc, dec) x 6 times = 24 sc

Fasten off and cut the yarn. Stuff the piece with fiberfill.

Ears (make 2)

Each ear consists of two pieces. With gray yarn:

1: 6 sc in MR = 6 sc
2: (1 sc, 3 sc in one stitch) x 3 times = 12 sc
3: (3 sc, 3 sc in one stitch) x 3 times = 18 sc
4: (5 sc, 3 sc in one stitch) x 3 times = 24 sc

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Cut the yarn.

With black yarn:

1: 6 sc in MR = 6 sc
2: (1 sc, 3 sc in one stitch) x 3 times = 12 sc
3: (3 sc, 3 sc in one stitch) x 3 times = 18 sc

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Cut the yarn.

Sewing the ears

Place the two pieces together with the wrong sides facing each other and sew the black piece to the gray piece.

After sewing the pieces together, crochet around the edge with sc using white yarn. Hide and trim the white and black yarn tails. Do not crochet around the side that will be sewn to the head.

Make the second ear in the same way. The ears are ready.

Eye patches (make 2)

The eye patches are worked in turning rows. With black yarn:

1: Chain 10. Starting from the 3rd ch from the hook, work 2 dc, 1 hdc, 5 sc = 9 sc (turn your work)
2: 5 sc, 1 hdc, 3 dc = 9 sc
3: Ch 2 for turning, in the same base stitch work 1 dc, then 1 dc, 1 hdc, 6 sc = 10 sc

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Cut the yarn. Now crochet around the patch with sc, as shown in the photo.

Make the second piece the same way, but the second patch will be sewn on with the wrong side facing out, so crochet the edging from the wrong side.

Nose

With white yarn. We will crochet it like the sole of a baby bootie.

Chain 4
1: Starting from the second ch from the hook: inc, 1 sc, 3 sc in the top of the chain, then along the other side of the chain work 2 sc = 8 sc
2: 2 inc, 2 sc, 2 inc, 2 sc = 12 sc
3: 12 sc
4: 1 sc, 2 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc, 4 sc = 16 sc
5: 16 sc

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Cut the yarn. Stuff the nose. Sew the nose on vertically.

Face assembly

Sew the ears between rows 5 and 8. I sewed mine with a slight curve. Sew the nose vertically between rows 13 and 18.

• Sew on the eye patches.
• Glue or sew on the eyes. Mine are 5 mm half-bead eyes, glued with Moment glue.
• Under the eyes, make a couple of stitches with white yarn to highlight the eyes.
• Embroider the eyebrows above the eyes with white yarn.
• Embroider the nose and mouth with black yarn. I used Iris yarn.

Legs (make 2)

Fasten off and cut the yarn. Make the second leg in the same way, but do not cut the yarn.

Body

Work a couple of stitches on the second leg, then chain 5. Join to the second leg with sl st.

1: 21 sc (one leg), 5 sc (along the chain), 21 sc (second leg), 5 sc (along the other side of the chain) = 52 sc
2: (12 sc, inc) x 4 times = 56 sc
3: 56 sc
4: 21 sc, (1 sc, inc) x 4 times, 27 sc = 60 sc
Rows 5-16: 60 sc (12 rows)
17: (13 sc, dec) x 4 times = 56 sc
18: 56 sc
19: (12 sc, dec) x 4 times = 52 sc
20: 52 sc
21: (11 sc, dec) x 4 times = 48 sc
22: (10 sc, dec) x 4 times = 44 sc

With gray yarn:
Rows 8-21: 15 sc (14 rows)
22: (3 sc, dec) x 3 times = 12 sc
23: dec x 6 times = 6 sc

Fold in half and crochet both sides together with 3 sc. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Cut the yarn. Make the second arm in the same way.

Tail

With white yarn:

1: 6 sc in MR = 6 sc

17: (2 sc, dec) x 3 times, 2 sc = 11 sc
With gray yarn:
Rows 18-19: 11 sc

Stuff the tail, fold it in half, and crochet 5 sc across.

Sew the arms on the 3rd row down from the head. Sew the tail around rows 6-7. I sewed it so it sticks up playfully, but you can place it however you like.

Overalls

With blue yarn:

Cast on 52 stitches on 2.5 mm knitting needles and work in 2 x 2 ribbing.

Rows 1-23: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 52 stitches
Always purl the last stitch, the edge stitch.

24: edge st, K6, YO, K1, YO, K8, YO, K1, YO, K18, YO, K1, YO, K8, YO, K1, YO, K6, edge st = 60 stitches
25: edge st, P58, edge st = 60 stitches
26: edge st, K7, YO, K1, YO, K10, YO, K1, YO, K20, YO, K1, YO, K10, YO, K1, YO, K7, edge st = 68 stitches
27: edge st, P66, edge st = 68 stitches
28: edge st, K8, YO, K1, YO, K12, YO, K1, YO, K22, YO, K1, YO, K12, YO, K1, YO, K8, edge st = 76 stitches
29: edge st, P74, edge st = 76 stitches
30: edge st, K10, (slip 14 stitches onto an extra needle; this will be a sleeve), K26, (slip 14 stitches onto an extra needle), K10, edge st = 48 stitches
31: edge st, P46, edge st = 48 stitches
32: edge st, K11, (K4, YO) x 6 times, K11, edge st = 54 stitches
33: edge st, P52, edge st = 54 stitches

With white yarn:
34: edge st, K52, edge st = 54 stitches
35: edge st, P52, edge st = 54 stitches
Next, work all even rows 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46 the same as row 34.
Work all odd rows 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47 the same as row 35.
Change to blue:
48: edge st, K52, edge st = 54 stitches
49: edge st, P52, edge st = 54 stitches
Continue with blue yarn. Work all even rows 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66 the same as row 48.
Work all odd rows 51, 53, 55, 57, 59, 61, 63, 65, 67 the same as row 49.

Now divide the stitches into 2 parts: 54 / 2 = 27 stitches each. We will knit the legs of the overalls. Work one pant leg first, then the other.
68: edge st, dec (knit 2 stitches together), K23, edge st = 26 stitches
69: edge st, P24, edge st = 26 stitches
70: edge st, K24, edge st = 26 stitches
71: edge st, P24, edge st = 26 stitches

Now work in 2 x 2 ribbing. With white yarn:
Rows 72-73: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 26 stitches
With blue yarn:
Rows 74-75: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 26 stitches
With white yarn:
Rows 76-77: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 26 stitches
With blue yarn:
Rows 78-79: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 26 stitches

Bind off with white yarn. I bind off with a crochet hook. Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing. Make the second pant leg in the same way.

Sew the pant legs together and sew up the back to the tail. Try the overalls on as you go.

Sleeves

Work from the extra needle. With blue yarn:

1: edge st, (K2, YO) x 6 times, edge st = 20 stitches
2: edge st, P18, edge st = 20 stitches
3: edge st, K18, edge st = 20 stitches
Rows 4, 6, 8, 10: work the same as row 2
Rows 5, 7, 9: work the same as row 3

Now work 2 x 2 ribbing. With white yarn:

Rows 11-12: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 20 stitches
With blue yarn:
Rows 13-14: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 20 stitches
With white yarn:
Rows 15-16: edge st, (K2, P2) x to the end of the row, edge st = 20 stitches
Row 17: bind off the stitches and sew the sleeve.

Cut the yarn and hide the tail. Make the second sleeve in the same way.
