Rainbow Mini Paulie-face

well if i can do it.. so can YOU!
just go out and get some stuffing, that's all i had to do.. and a lil snowman looking pocket became a fluffy little body which i felt compelled to sew arms and legs onto!! voila! amigurumi!
so easy, so EASY! i can't believe i never did it before.
and i just made it up as i went. this guy is mini paulie-face,and he sits, stands, and with a little help from human hands.. can also do the double fisted raised arms cheer. yes. (i mean.. YES!!!)
so anyways for my guy i used an aluminum size G (US) hook, and regular WW yarn in a paulie-face rainbow color. the head and body are made in one piece, then the legs and arms are made and sewed on. you dont really have to be that precise when sewing those on, just make sure its secure and aim for one center of balance.. even if it turns out slightly to the left (or right)

here goes the pattern:

**work in rounds always, i join at the end of mine cuz my eyeballs get all googly if i don't. if you can and/or want to, dont join and just use stitch markers (or your god-given eagle eyes)

embroider your face or leave it blank if you like, you could also use buttons, in which case i wouldnt recommend you give it to a child.

this is my original pattern (though im sure there are countless other amigurumi patterns out there) so please do not print or copy to sell this pattern. you may print out a copy for yourself for your personal use. link back to my blog to share with friends.
