Strawberry Lemonade Mini Stevie – Free Pattern Modification

*** This pattern is a free crochet pattern modification to my Mini Stevie the Stygimoloch pattern. You can find the original crochet pattern here on my blog for free! An ad-free, formatted PDF version of the original crochet pattern is also available for purchase here:

After seeing several amazing crocheters making fruit versions of my Tanner the Triceratops pattern, I had to get in on the action! I decided to give Mini Stevie a twist, by creating a strawberry lemonade version!

Below you will find all of the information you need to alter the original Mini Stevie the Stygimoloch pattern into your very own strawberry lemonade version!

I used Premier Yarns Parfiat Chunky yarn to create this version of Mini Stevie. You can find out more about the colors and difference in hook size that I used below.

Don’t forget to save this pattern in your favorites and add it to your project queue to save it for later! View this pattern on Ravelry here..

I would classify this pattern as “advanced beginner”. It would be helpful to have had some experience with amigurumi before creating this project.

I’d love to see what you make with this tutorial! Don’t forget to share a photo of your finished work in your Ravelry projects and my Facebook group!

SPECIAL STITCHES

SC2tog (using invisible decrease method): Insert hook into front loop of the first stitch. Insert hook into front loop of second stitch. Yarn over. Draw through the first two loops on hook. Yarn over. Draw through both loops on hook.

NOTES

• Checking your gauge is not required for this pattern. Use a hook that is smaller than the size recommended for your yarn weight. This will ensure that your stuffing will not show through the stitches.
• All pieces are worked in the round. Use a stitch marker to indicate the beginning of each round.
• Body, head, legs, arms, tail, and strawberries require stuffing. Stuff as you work it to ensure each piece is completely filled.
• See tutorial photos.
