A creepydorable huggable critter.
The Jelly Tot Sprite is one of those creations which was never intended to be made, but which forced itself upon my hook and wouldn't leave until she was created. She’s a little bit creepy like that. She’s bigger than anything I’ve designed before, standing a good six inches tall. The hypnotic eyes will make you feel slightly uncomfortable, but will burn into your soul and won’t let you leave her. But it’s ok, she can be easily appeased with chocolate milk. I have no idea why she’s called the Jelly Tot Sprite. It just seemed to fit. She was going to be a mushroom…

Step 1
The Essentials:

Hook: 3mm (makes the size shown, but I’m sure any hook size would work and scale up or down accordingly).

Wool: DK in pale pink and dark pink.

Above colours makes the Jelly Tot Sprite as shown, but I’m sure there are others in the ether waiting to be created in a variety of colours so go nuts and channel your own!

Finished Size: 6” tall.

Terms:

CH = Chain

SC = Single Crochet

INC = Increase

DEC = Decrease

SL ST = Slip Stitch

I start my amigurumi using CH2 for simplicity, but if you prefer you can use a magic ring.

And that's your Jelly Tot Sprite done. You don't have to stick to shades of pink - go nuts with the colours! Do each in a different colour, make it stripey, anything. Channel your own Sprite!
