4. Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions

The instructions below follow a standard amigurumi structure. Always work in continuous rounds unless specified.

Part 1: Crochet the Head

1. Magic ring: Begin with a magic ring and single crochet (SC) 6 into the loop.

2. R1–6: Increase gradually to create a round sphere (e.g., 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36).

3. R7–12: Work even rounds to shape height.

4. Insert safety eyes: Attach eyes between rounds 7–8. Leave space between the eyes for the nose.

5. R13–18: Begin decreasing to seal the head.

6. Stuff firmly: Add stuffing before fully closing.

Tips for shaping the face:

• Add a dab of stuffing behind the face area for better shaping.

• Pinch the nose area slightly while sewing to add dimension.

Part 2: Form the Neck & Upper Body

1. Start with 6 SC in a magic ring (like the head).

2. Increase evenly to match the head’s neck base.

3. Once you reach the desired width (usually 24–30 SC), continue working in rounds to build the belly.

Tip: To make the typical Labubu cute body shape, slightly decrease toward the base so it rounds in snugly.

Part 3: Build the Main Body

1. Continue increasing until the width matches your desired “belly” size.

2. Work even rounds to add height approximately 6–8 rounds.

3. Decrease towards the bottom to make the body taper slightly.

4. Stuff body firmly and evenly.

Shape the Legs/Base

1. Begin legs as small tubes: Magic ring with 6 SC.

2. Add rounds to widen slightly (e.g., up to 10–12 SC).

3. Work 6–7 rounds for length and finish off.

4. Create two legs and sew symmetrically to the base of the doll.

Part 5: Crochet the Arms & Ears

Arms:

• Make 2 small tubes similar to the legs, but shorter.

• Sew them near the upper body slightly angled for cuteness.

Ears:

• Start in a magic ring and increase into a flat oval.

• Shape slightly with pinch stitch before sewing to the head.

Part 6: Assembly & Positioning

1. Pin all parts in place before sewing.

2. Use a ladder stitch or backstitch to attach securely.

3. Add stuffing gradually for a firm, balanced shape.

4. Embroider the nose, mouth, and eyebrows for personality.

• Add a tiny bow or hat

• Create a tail (optional)

• Add plush embroidery if making a fuzzy version

2. Keep tension even: Slightly tighten each stitch when working round structures.

3. Use stitch markers: Avoid losing track of rounds in longer projects.

4. Fixing holes: Sew through both loops around the opening to tighten stray gaps.

5. Balance stuffing: Add softer stuffing toward the head for even shape.

6. Seamlessly attach parts: Work through both loops and body stitches for strong, neat joins.
