Pattern Overview & Getting Started
The Domocarbon is made by crocheting the arms, legs, and body as separate pieces, combining them, then adding a pieced flower on the head. Simple embroidery and optional shapeable, wired petals complete the look. The primary stitch in this project is single crochet, with rounds worked in continuous spirals, so use a marker to track your rows.
The Pattern Itself
Arms (Make 2)
Round 1:
- MR, 6 sc into ring (6)
Rounds 2-5:
- sc in each st around (6 per round)
Make a magic ring and place 6 single crochets. Work 4 more rounds of 6 single crochets. This forms a tubular arm.
At End:
- Flatten arm, sl st across to close.
- Leave long tail for sewing.
- Do NOT stuff.
Your arm should be flat and tube-like. Make a second arm the same way.
Legs (Make 2, then join for Body Base)
Round 1:
- MR, 6 sc into ring (6)
Round 2:
- sc in next st, inc in next st around (total 9)
Rounds 3-4:
- sc in each st around (9 per round)
- sl st to finish leg, ch 1, cut but leave long tail for sewing.
Repeat for second leg. Do NOT stuff.
Each leg starts with a magic ring and grows gently. These serve as the base for the body.
Joining Legs & Building Body
Step 1:
- After finishing the second leg, do NOT cut yarn. Continue:
- ch 1, join to first leg with a sc, work around first leg (9 sc), sc in ch space (joining both legs), then work around the second leg (9 sc), sc in same ch space.
= 20 sts (18 sc around legs + 2 sc in chain space).
Step 2 (Body and shaping):
- Work sc in each st around for several rounds (Rounds 6-7, 20 sc per round).
After joining, you create a rounded base for the body and continue to form the torso.
Step 3 (Body Tapering):
Round 8:
- sc in next 8, dec, sc in next 8, dec (total 18)
Round 9:
- sc in each st around (18)
Round 10:
- sc in next 4, dec repeat 3× (total 15)
Round 11:
- sc in each st around (15)
Round 12:
- sc in next 3, dec repeat 3× (total 12)
Rounds 13-14:
- sc in each st around (12)
You are now shaping the body and neck area. Begin stuffing the body lightly with fiberfill before it gets too small.
Step 4 (Head and Increasing):
Round 15:
- inc in each st (2 sc in each, 12) = 24
Rounds 16-19:
- sc in each st (24 per round)
Stuff neck/body as you go.
The increase forms the head; keep it round and well-stuffed.
Step 5 (Head Taper & Closing):
Round 20:
- sc in next 2, dec repeat 6× (total 18)
Round 21:
- sc in next, dec repeat 6× (total 12)
Round 22:
- dec in each st around (total 6)
- Fasten off, leaving long tail. Use tapestry needle to weave in and out of front loops, pull tight to close, secure, and weave end into head.
Finish off with a decrease round to close the head. Pull tight for a neat finish.
Assembly: Attaching Arms and Shaping
- Position arms just below neck.
- Sew arms securely across flattened edge to sides with tails left from arms.
Arms should be snug and firmly stitched. Do the same for both sides.
Flower: Center
Round 1:
- MR, 5 sc (5)
Round 2:
- 2 sc in each st (10)
Make adjustable with tight sc. Fasten and leave tail to sew to head.
Flower: Color Change and Petals
Round 3:
- Join contrasting color. sc in next st, inc in next st repeat for 15 sc.
This increases and creates base stitches for five petals. Place stitch marker for petal placement if desired.
For each Petal (make 5 around center):
Worked over 3 sts each.
- sc in next 3 sts
- ch 1, turn.
Row 2: sc in first st, inc in next st, sc in last st (total 4); ch 1, turn.
Row 3: sc in first st, dec over next two, sc in last (3); ch 1, turn.
Row 4: skip first st, sc in next (2); ch 1, turn.
Row 5: skip first st, sc in last (1).
Cut and fasten, weave in ends. Repeat for all 5 petals.
(Optional: With wire, insert along the edges of each petal before crocheting the final row. Twist and secure wire at flower center.)
Each petal is worked over 3 stitches, building out, decreasing for the pointed tip. Add wire for structure and shape if desired.
Flower Assembly
- Attach flower to head at center with sewing needle/yarn tail.
- If using wire, shape petals as desired for a 3D effect. Make sure wire ends are safely tucked.
Sew flower securely to head’s top center. Adjust and fold petals for dimensional look.
Facial & Decorative Embellishments (Optional)
- With contrasting yarn or embroidery thread, stitch eyes, mouth, or blush.
- Embroider white dots or lines as highlights on flower petals for extra charm.
Use simple embroidery or small bits of yarn for the Domocarbon’s face and flower accents. Be creative!
Final Assembly & Shaping
- Tuck in any loose yarn tails. Gently shape the body, head, legs.
- Fold or pose petals as desired if you used wire.
- Your Domocarbon amigurumi is complete!
Final shaping can make your flower and character come to life. Be sure all elements are sewn securely for durability.
