Blanket Yarn for Amigurumi

What makes these plushies so special is using super bulky, (Bernat) blanket yarns instead of the typical worsted weight yarns.

You can also use chenille yarns in other brands as well. These yarns are soft, squishy and cozy which really makes your amigurumi that much more cute and cuddly.

For amigurumi, the stitches need to be tight with the fabric having no gaps or holes so even though the blanket yarn is a super bulky, you will be using a much smaller hook. Depending on your tension, you will want to use a 6.5mm crochet hook or even smaller.

Glittery Safety Eyes

The safety eyes I used are 35mm – they’re huge! But they make the kitty cat ghosty and original ghosty so adorable.

I got a pack of ten here on Etsy. You can get a mixed bag of colors or all the same color. They also have other sizes available.

In my experience, these eyes aren’t very “safe”. Meaning, they come apart easily even after attaching to the ghost face. Because of this, I would advise using a method to really seal the backing onto the safety eye.

I’ve seen people melt part of the eye after the backing is put on so it doesn’t come apart form the plastic washer. To do this, you would need to first attach your safety eye with washer backing. Carefully warm the part of the safety eye sticking out of the washer backing with either a hot iron or lighter. Smash that part down with a piece of cardboard or something other than your finger. This gives that stubby part of the safety eye a greater area surface and will not come back out of the backing.

Crochet Pattern Notes

Beginning chain of each round does not count as a stitch.

The cat ghosty is made by first crocheting the body, attaching and sewing on the face, then crocheting a circle piece for the bottom. The bottom circle piece will be crocheted together with the bottom of the ghost body. Arms are crocheted on and ears attached last.

Dimensions: ~7.5” tall and 9” wide with arms
