Amigurumi Yorkie Tutorial





Novice Sandy on Knitting Paradise found this absolutely adorable pattern for an
Amigurumi Yorkie.  The only problem is the pattern is incomprehensible.  I think it was originally written in Japanese and the translation is really bad.  Fortunately, I have crocheted some amigurumi patterns using the Japanese chart method so I get what's going on here, so here is my translation.  I did have to change a few things here and there, but I think it's pretty true to the original pattern.

Finished Size:
About 7 inches High x 5 inches Wide

Materials:

  • Red Heart Super Saver Yarn, worsted weight, Warm Brown
  • C or size 2 Hook, such as Clover Soft Touch 2.75-mm Crochet Hooks, Size C
  • Stitch Marker
  • Poly-fil Stuffing, such as Fairfield Poly-Fil Premium Polyester Fiber
  • Embroidery Floss in light browns, beiges, dark yellows and black, such as DMC Prism Six-Strand Floss
  • Red Heart Shimmer yarn , Black
  • Lion Brand, Vanna's Glamour yarn , Topaz
  • 2 round black shank buttons, such as Slimline Buttons Series 1-Black Shank 3/4"
  • Tapestry Needle, such as Clover Gold Eye Tapestry, No. 18-22
Abbreviations:
Rnd--round    ch(s)--chain(s)  sc(s) single crochet(s)  st(s)--stitch(es)
sc2tog--single crochet 2 stitches together

Head

Finishing:



Sew muzzle to the head.


Sew front legs to body.



I tacked the legs down mid way to help the dog stand upright
 and then the head to the body.


Sew the hind legs onto the body


Sew the tail onto the body


Sew on the ears with the fold to the back.

Weave in yarn ends.

Now start to attach embroidery floss and shimmer yarn.  I used full strands.  If you want to anchor the hair so it won't fall out, here is a good tutorial on how to do doll hair.





It helps to have a picture of a Yorkie.  Here is a good photo or you can use the photo on the original pattern.


 Embroider the nose.




I've had some questions about how to sew on the fur that is pulled up between the ears, so I'm adding this to help with this question.
Attach yarn at the bottom of the snout for the hair that is pulled up between the ears.


Once you have enough yarn attached, pull it up between the ears and use some attached yarn by the ears to tie the yarn up.





Trim floss to make it even



Sew some yarn at the base of the snout and pull it back between the ears and then tie it back.  You can also use ribbon.  Then sew on the buttons for the eyes.



Here's how it looks from the back.  The black fur is the black shimmer yarn.

  7. I sewed the yarn up underneath the base of the head and made it even lengths on both side and cut it. I went all around the head that way and then I sewed yarn underneath the yarn I had already done to make it thicker and then trimmed it a little longer than the first row. I did about 3 rows altogether.

  11. Thank you for sharing such an adorable amigurumi yorkie. I love it. I cannot wait to make one. It would look great on my shelf with my porclain dolls. Thank you for translating the pattern. I checked out the other version of the pattern and I am so grateful that you translated it. Thank you and have a nice evening.

  12. Thank you for this! I had seen that Yorkie Pattern and I took it and wrote it down so that I could make it and did, but it was one of the first things I had done and I didn't quite know how to put it all together correctly but it seemed to come out ok. Now I will use your instructions and try to make it again. I don't know how to send you a pic but I could show you a pic of the one I made from the original pattern and then I'll have to see how it comes out using your pattern which will be much easier!

  15. Hi, I love this pattern and your Yorkie looks amazing. However, is there somewhere I can get a really simplified set of instructins as I'm a beginner and really struggling to understand making a magic circle without it turning more into a tube. I'm from UK and so I'm not sure if terminology differs or if I'm just being really slow! I would love to make one of these for my mum and was told crochet was really easy but I'm starting to doubt that. Thanks!

    1. You can try this video by Crochet Geek
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHYVutk2iYY

      Make sure you pull the tail tightly once you join your circle together. Once you finish the piece you can sew the tail in to make the hole stay closed.

      If you are still having problems you can chain 2 and then do all the stitches in the second chain (first chain you made) from the hook.

      Also, I'm not sure if you realize it or not, but UK crochet terms are different from US terms. A UK sc is an US dc (double crochet). To see how to do an sc US style take a look at my baby rattle pattern. It has graphics on how to do single crochet.
      http://crochetparfait.blogspot.com/2012/07/baby-rattlecat-toy-pattern.html

      Crochet Geek also has a good video tutorial on how to do single crochet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hwHtyJFMf0
      There are links in the pattern for special stitches, like the sc2tog that will lead you tutorials.

  17. Hi Pam,
    Loved this little Yorkie as soon as I saw the picture.
    I have it made, and am now starting to put the "hair" on it. I don't understand how to
    do that part. At first I was pulling yarn under a stitch, and wrapping it back around the
    stitch to hold in place, but after looking over the instructions again, I removed what I had
    completed, and started just pulling the yarn under the stitches, and letting it hang. If I do
    that though, I thought that will just pull out of the stitches.
    How do I actually keep the yarn "hair" in place?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You could try knotting the hair, close to the stitches, on either side, but I just pulled it through. I guess it depends on whether it's going to sit around looking pretty or get played with.

      Delete
  18. Thanks Pam, I just can't find a knot I like the look of. Have no plans for it, so will probably just go with hoping it just sits around looking pretty.
    I loved this pattern, it will join my 3 other yorkies, they look at it like what is that! I hope the little one doesn't get ahold of it to pull the hair out. My three are real yorkies.
    Thanks again for this patter, it is the first time I have tried one like this.

  26. I just love the look of this adorable Yorkie. Since my youngest daughter has two REAL Yorkies, I am definitely going to give this pattern a go, although I have never tried to do an animal before...just mainly lapghans and afghans. Maybe I can get Miley and Endie to pose for me when it's time to assemble and put on the finishing touches! :) What do you think??? LOL Many thanks for posting this! Much appreciated.

    2. Blankets are finished! So I've got the dog made...and I know I'm going to have to make a Skippyjon Jones next (he's a chihuahua, and this pattern would be perfect) and I have some questions. Does it matter what order you do the hair in? Black first? And I wasn't able to find the exact brands, but I think they'll work. I've got black bamboo viscose instead of the shimmer. But how long did you cut the strands? and how much did you use?

      My many grateful thanks,

  38. I got a question asking about the order of sewing on the fur. On the legs, sew on the fur from the bottom up so you can see what you are doing. Other wise the yarn will cover up where you need to sew on next. The yarn I used is just a suggestion, other crocheters have used different yarns to great effect, check out these examples on Ravelry.com. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/yorkie-tutorial/people

      This is how I fixed it.
      Rnd 12: sc in next 6 scs, sc2tog. (42 scs)- That is 6cs + 1sc (the 2tog) = 7 x 6 panels = 42 scs.
      Rnd 13: sc in each sc. (42 scs)
      Rnd 14: sc in next 5 scs, sc2tog. (36 scs)

  51. (From a groomer) The part on a Yorkie head goes from the outside eye corner to the inside ear corner, straight across to the other inside ear corner, and form the other outside eye corner to the inside ear corner on that side, making a square, with the hair growing between the eyes also being pulled up into the topknot. Hold the hair straight up, place a band, the fold over toward the back of the head and place a second band directly over (or on top of) the first band. The hair ends should go back between the ears and blend in with the rest of the hair on the head and neck. No hair from the back of the head or the neck goes into the topknot. This will help your pup look more realistic. Hope this helps! LOVE the pattern! I plan to make my own soon, and maybe a schnauzer as well!

  58. I really appreciate u giving us this pattern. I used to have an adorable Yorkie!!! I'm a novice at crocheting. My question is on Round 13-16 , am I supposed to continue with sc all the way around?

    ReplyDelete

    1. I'm not sure if you are talking about the body or the head, but in each case from rows 14 to 16 you will be doing a specified amount of scs followed by a decrease (sc2tog). This lowers the stitch count as you move from row to row. So for example

      Rnd 14: 1 sc in next 5 scs, sc2tog (36 scs) do one sc in each of the next 5 scs and then do a sc2tog over the next 2 scs, then repeat 6 times until you have made 36 stitches altogether (I called them all scs because this is what they look like but there will actually be 30 scs and 6 sc2tog stitches. If you don't know how to do the sc2tog stitch you can find it here http://crochetparfait.blogspot.com/p/sc2tog.html

  64. Pam,
    I do not see instructions on how to make the black fur or how/where to attach it. Am I missing something?

    ReplyDelete

    1. It's basically done the same way as the other fur. I plan on putting up a video tutorial in the near future to show how to attach the fur.

  74. hi!
    I like your yorki so much:9. But maybe i missed something,but i could find, how much rows do you make after the increase and before you start to decrase.I see just you inrease until 48 and after you start decrease...Can you help me please?:)
    Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. For both the body and the head, after you have increased to 48 stitches you do 2 rows (10 and 11) with no increases or decreases, then you start to decrease on row 12.

    2. Pam I typed in your you tube & im sorry but it was not nothing about the fur for the dog it was something else please help me . Please email me ok not sure what happened.

  75. Hi Pam! I've loved this pattern since I first saw it a long time ago and am finally getting around to making it. I do have a question though. I'm a single, disabled mom so obviously my funds are limited and unfortunately I don't have a car. So I was wondering if it is absolutely necessary to use the embroidery floss and the black glossy or if you think I could get away with using regular yarn for the hair? I really want to make it but if it isn't going to look right using regular yarn then I don't want to waste my time.

    Thank you for translating the pattern. Your work is beautiful!

  76. OMG this is the cutest pattern, you are so wonderful to post for free. It's looks like a challenge, I have never done Amigurumi. This is so darn cute I have to try it. I have a lion that I got off a website and it's very similar in the look although it looks like a lion. I have a feeling this is Amigurumi also. I have not tried the pattern as I have no small children left in the family.

  77. Hi Pam busy making the Yorkie. Trying to find the tutorial on putting on the back hair. Is there one? Do I go down the length (middle) of the back? What happens with the tail? I see their is black hair under the head too. How do I do that? Would really appreciate your help! Thanks for sharing this cute pattern.

  113. Hi There,
    Thank you for sharing the knowledgeable blog with us I hope that you will post many more blog with us:-
    Pug will happily spend much of the day snuggling on the sofa’”which, combined with the breed’s fondness for eating, makes obesity a real possibility. But the Pug is playful, sturdy, and lively, too, and owners can keep the breed fit with daily opportunities for moderate exercise, such as walks or play sessions in the yard.
