Free Small Kuchi Kopi Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ll know that I love Bob’s Burgers and have made a few other Bob’s Burgers themed patterns in the past. Back in early 2020, I released the full Flu-ouise collection. And while I really love those patterns, I did notice that because of how big they are, they were not as approachable.

So it’s been on my list to design a much smaller Kuchi Kopi (and potentially the other Flu-ouise toys when I find more time) to make it a little easier for those of you who want your own Kuchi Kopi but can’t commit to making a huge one.

Yarn I Used

I usedPaintbox Yarns Cotton Aran for this crochet amigurumi plushie. Feel free use any yarn as long as you correspond your hook to the weight of your yarn. You can also easily size up/down by using thicker/thinner yarn, just make sure to change the size of your hook accordingly.

I used 35g Lime Green, a little bit of Champagne White and Black.

Please keep in mind that the exact amount of yarn you use will depend on your personal tension and the type of stitch you use. I’m merely providing the amount I use to give you a better idea of how much you might need. Each skein is 50g.

Gauge

5 Round Circle = 1.5” with a 2.75mm (C) hook

Note: I am working with the x-stitch (yarn under/yarn over single crochet). If you are working a standard sc, go down a hook size.

Gauge isn’t super important for amigurumi, but I included it just in case you want to check your gauge. Being a little off should not affect the final product too much. You can learn more about how to measure gauge for amigurumi here!

Notes & Guides

This pattern is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated. Mark the first stitch of the round with a stitch marker to help keep track of where the beginning of the round is.

Seamless Join in the Round – Cut your yarn tail, fasten off, and thread your yarn tail onto a darning needle. Locate the 2^nd st of the round, insert your needle under that stitch and pull through. Insert your needle into the centre of the final st of the round and out the back. Weave the tail into the back of the work. Doing so creates a false stitch on top of the first stitch of the round.

Closing the Hole –  To close the hole, fasten off and thread the yarn tail onto a darning needle. Insert the needle under the front loop of the next stitch and pull through. Repeat with the rest of the stitches, then pull on the tail to close the hole. Weave the tail into the centre of the hole to hide the tail. If you are having a tough time closing the hole with 8 sts, decrease down to 4 sts with the optional extra round.

Sewing – To make the stitches from sewing less bulky, you can split the tail for sewing into two bundles. Cotton/acrylic yarn is typically made up of multiple threads twisted together, so you’ll be able separate the threads by untwisting the yarn. Sew your piece onto the main piece using one of the bundles.

To secure the yarn tails, thread both tails of your yarn out of the same spot, then tie a tight double knot. Trim off any excess tails, then poke it into your plushie to hide the knot.

Sewing Amigurumi Parts Together – Pin the loose part (the Ear in the photo example below, which I will be calling A) onto the base part (Head, B).

Thread the yarn tail from A onto a darning needle. *Insert the needle into B, immediately beneath the yarn tail and out the next space on B immediately below the next stitch of A. Pull through, then insert the needle through both loops of the next stitch of A. Repeat the steps starting from the *, going all the way around A. Thread the tail through B to hide the yarn tail.

Avoiding the Pointy Cone Shape when Using Thicker Yarn – If you are using thicker yarn (like chenille) and notice the top of the head looking a little pointy or cone-like with the regular pattern, redo the first 3 rounds with the following pattern:

1          8sc in magic circle [8]
2          8inc [16]
3          (sc, inc) x 8 [24]

Continue to round 5 of the regular pattern. You will be one round short in total, but chenille yarn stitches tend to be slightly taller, so the Head shape will still look good even if it’s missing one round. Just keep in mind that the eye placement will need to be adjusted.

It’s also a good idea to stretch it out slightly to help flatten it out.

EARS

Make 2.

With Lime Green yarn.

1          6sc in magic circle [6]
2          sc in all sts [6]

Fasten off, do not stuff, and leave a tail for sewing.

It’s going to look like a flat circle but just squish it between your fingers to push the centre up so that it looks more like an ear. You can trim the yarn tail from the magic circle down, then stuff the remaining tail into the Ear.

EYES

Make 2.

With Champagne White yarn.

1          6sc in magic circle [6]
2          (sc, inc) x 3 [9]

Fasten off, seamless join in the round, and leave a tail for sewing.

Note: If you are making your Kuchi Kopi with plush yarn (Bulky (5) or thicker), use worsted weight yarn to make the eyes instead of the plush yarn. This will prevent the eyes from being too bulgy when you sew them on. Use the following pattern:
1          6sc in magic circle [6]
2          6inc [12]
3          (sc, inc) x 6 [18]

Optional Rounds for Bigger Circle:

4          (sc, inc, sc) x 6 [24]
5          (3sc, inc) x 6 [30

Fasten off, seamless join in the round, and leave a tail for sewing.

PUPILS

Make 2.

With Black yarn.

Tie a double overhand knot.

Leave two tails for each pupil.

ASSEMBLY

• Thread the tails of the pupils through the Eyes, with one tail going through the centre of the magic circle and the other tail through the middle of the first round (see photo below for where to insert the two tails). Kuchi Kopi’s pupils are not centered, so doing so will give him his signature wonky eyes.
• Turn the Eye piece around and tie a tight double knot in the back to secure the pupils. Trim off any excess yarn tails.

• Pin the Ears to the top of the Head. With the top of the Ears starting at round 6 of the Head.
  To make sure the Ears are symmetrical, look at the placement of the Ear from the top of the Head down before sewing it in place. The middle of the Arm should line up to the Ear. It’s also a good idea to pin both the Ears and the Eyes at the same time to adjust the positioning before you sew them down.

• Pin the Eyes to the face to position. The top of the Eyes should start at round 9 of the Head and there should be 4-5 sts between the eyes. The widest part of the Eyes will be about 5 sts from the centre of the Ear (see photo below). Sew the Ears and Eyes to the Head/Face (see “Sewing Amigurumi Parts Together” in Notes and Guides).

• With Black embroidery floss, embroider the mouth between rounds 14 & 15. The mouth should be 3 sts wide.
