-
Primary Yarns:
-
Blue: Cotton yarn or thread for the main body color.
-
Light Blue (Celeste): Yarn for the face mask and body markings.

Navy Blue (Azul Marino): Yarn for the nose.
-
Pink (Rosa Niña): Yarn for the inner ear.
-
-
Hook: Use a 2 mm crochet hook.

-
Tools: Prepare a tapestry needle (or sewing needle), scissors, and a pair of pliers (helpful for pushing the safety eyes into the small opening and for pushing the bobble stitches out).
-
Optional: Fabric glue and a keychain ring/hoop.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. This project requires comfort with fundamental amigurumi techniques and introduces advanced complexity due to multiple, precise color changes that define the face. You must also be proficient in executing the Bobble Stitch and seamlessly assembling the multi-component ears.
Tutor's Suggestions
Follow these expert tips to ensure a neat finish on your figure:
-
Bobble Stitch Placement: After you complete a Bobble Stitch, use pliers or a small tool to gently push the bobble outwards to ensure it pops out and provides the required texture for the feet/paws.
-
Yarn Management: When making the complex color changes on the face, the tutor recommends leaving a long tail of the Light Blue yarn to carry up to the next row, rather than cutting it every time, to save yarn and reduce weaving.
-
Eye Placement: Place the 8 mm safety eyes in the light blue stitches of the face, specifically in the second set of light blue stitches you create on the head piece.
Each piece becomes an expression of individuality, brought to life by precise stitches and thoughtful design. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, one creation can serve a variety of uses—perfect as a heartfelt gift, a whimsical decor piece for shelves, or even a playful toy for children.
Its versatility makes it a rewarding addition to any crafter’s repertoire.
The beauty lies in the detail of its stitches, which add texture and personality to the project.
This pattern offers crocheters a chance to explore new techniques, sharpen their skills, and embrace creative freedom.
Whether you're crafting a cozy companion for a loved one or designing something truly unique for yourself, this project is as satisfying as it is stunning.
Versatility is another hallmark of this craft; colors, shapes, and sizes can easily be adjusted to suit any occasion.
As a method of relaxation, creativity, and gift-making, this pattern allows you to bring imagination to life in the most delightful way.
Special Features
This pattern captures Stitch's signature look using specialized techniques:
-
Integrated Face Mask: You create Stitch's distinctive blue and light blue eye mask by executing strategic color changes mid-round (using the last yarn-over to switch colors) over several consecutive rows of the head.
-
Textured Feet and Paws (Bobble Stitch): You use the Bobble Stitch to create four prominent points on the body, which form the character's four textured feet/paws, giving the toy its characteristic look. A Bobble Stitch here consists of four unfinished DC stitches worked into the same stitch and closed together.
-
Two-Layer Ears: You construct the ears by first crocheting an inner pink piece and an outer blue piece, then single-crocheting both pieces together around the perimeter to create a neat, two-layered, finished shape ready for sewing.
Conclusion
You have successfully completed your Stitch amigurumi keychain! This project guided you through the intricate work of combining multiple colors and using the Bobble Stitch to create his alien features. Take a moment to admire your skill in creating this detailed, multi-component piece.
