Materials Needed for Asher the Ox Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Sew the muzzle to the head over rounds 15 to 19, centred between the eyes with nostrils facing upwards. Stuff with fibrefill before completing the attachment.
• Attach the body to the head, positioning the body opening over rounds 26 to 28 at the bottom of the head. Tilt the head slightly for a cuter appearance.
• Sew the arms between rounds 23 and 24 of the body, spacing the front corners 7 stitches apart across the front.
• Attach the legs to the body with the flat edge sewn over rounds 7 to 12, positioned behind the body's midline. Add extra stitches along the legs to hold them snug against the body.
• Sew the ears to the head with the flat edge between rounds 7 to 8, spacing the front corners 18 stitches apart.
• Attach the horns to the top of the head over rounds 4 to 6, positioning them on the inside of each ear with increases facing inward.
• Sew the tail to the back of the body between rounds 7 and 8, centred between the legs.
• Wrap the neckband around the neck and sew the short edges together. Attach the bow to the front centre of the neckband, securing the bow wings with a few stitches. Add a jump ring through a stitch under one nostril.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers throughout the project to keep track of rounds, especially during head shaping and color changes
• 💡Stuff firmly but gradually—firmest in head and extremities, gradually lighter in connecting areas like arms and legs
• 💡Pay careful attention to color changes between white and brown sections to maintain clean transitions
• 💡Position safety eyes precisely between rounds 13 and 14 with exactly 4 stitches spacing for proper facial symmetry
• 💡Push bobble stitches outward on the muzzle to create distinct textured nostrils before attaching to head
• 💡Pin all components in place before final sewing to ensure correct positioning and balanced proportions
• 💡When flattening limb openings, ensure proper alignment to maintain natural posing and prevent awkward angles
