Free pattern: Keroppi
JULY 27, 2023 BY AMIGURUMEI

Who doesn’t love Keroppi? (Or Kero kero keroppi,

as I remember him being called?)

He brings back lots of childhood memories and the

sight of him just makes me feel child-like all over
again.

There used to be department stores that would

dedicate an entire area to Sanrio merchandise and
I remember how it felt like being there, and also the
sweet candy scent that came with all things kawaii.

And so as promised, here is the FREE PATTERN for

Keroppi. I have given him new clothes and added
on a crochet bowtie and cheeks. I hope you’ll enjoy
him!

Tag me on instagram @amigurumei when you do

make Keroppi! Also, check out my Reels on
Keroppi!

Stuff body.
**Remember to start changing the yarn
colour before you complete the final
stitch of the previous colour.
**Instead of cutting or carrying the
different yarn colours along, I just
dropped each yarn and picked it up again
whenever the colour changes happened.
This works for small body pieces and
shouldn’t cause any puckering. I hope
this works for you too!

1. Position the eye pieces one on each
mound of the head piece. Try to keep
them as close to each other as possible,
almost touching.
2. Glue on the eyes — position them
towards the lower left and right hand
side of each eye.
3. For the lips, sew on a V with black
crochet thread between R12 & 13
(centred beneath the eyes),
approximately 6 sts in length.
4. Sew on the cheeks.

Final
Final Assembly
Assembly

1. Sew body onto the head. Keep in mind

that your Keroppi will look more
amazing if the stripes on the body can
be seen from the front. Adjust
accordingly before sewing in place.
2. Sew on bowtie.
3. Sew arms to the sides of the body.
4. Sew webbed feet onto the front of the
body (making sure that your stitches
are only on the back part of the feet
so that it isn’t noticeable in front).

P/S The original pattern for Keroppi appeared in

Hello Kitty Crochet. The book is currently all sold
out and there are no reprints at the moment.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise

Keep believing, and one day, others will believe in

you too

When I first designed Hello Kitty over 10 years

ago, I had barely started crocheting just two
years before that.

But I held my head high and poured everything

into the amazing book project that came to me
like a dream.

It’s been magical, being a part of the Hello Kitty

world, and I am blessed to have known so many
new friends through it all. Thank you for being
here with me on this everlasting journey, which,
can sometimes feel a little lonely but for you
guys!

P/S I found it fascinating that I could change the

shape of amigurumi pieces just by giving it a
“massage”. This reel shows how I keep Hello
Kitty’s head flatter on the front. Have you tried
this technique on your dolls? Let me know in the
comments below!

I hope you’ll share this Reel’s message with your

friends and save it too so you can look back at it
when you need a kind word or two
