Crochet Cone Amigurumi
Use different yarn colors to make a unique piece that can cheer up any room or bring a smile as a handmade gift. Grab your crochet hook and some yarn, and let's start making these adorable cones together!
Materials Needed
- Crochet hook
- Darning or sewing needle
- Stitch marker (a bobby pin can be used)
- Scissors
- Stuffing (e.g., polyfill)
- Super bulky yarn (in your color of choice)
Stitches and Terminology
- Single crochet
- Increase
- Decrease
- Magic ring
- Fastening off
- Working in the back loop only
Increase and Then Single Crochet Technique
Start with a Magic Ring.
- Make 6 single crochets in the magic ring.
- You may close off the magic ring before working single crochets into them – this is up to your preference.
Rounds 2 and 3:
- Simply single crochet around.
Round 4 (Increasing to 12 Stitches):
- Conduct six increases all around.
Continue Pattern:
- Repeat two rounds of single crochet followed by a round of increasing. After some rounds, the video jumps to where it has been increased to 24 stitches.
Closing Up the Bottom:
- Work in the back loop only to create a distinction between the bottom and the cone.
- Reduce from 24 stitches to 18 by doing two single crochets and then a decrease, repeated six times.
- Stuff the cone before fully closing, ensuring even distribution of stuffing and that it lays flat at the bottom.
- Further decrease from 18 stitches to 12, then from 12 stitches to 6 using the same method.
- Finish off by slip stitching into the next stitch, cutting a long tail for sewing, and weaving the tail through the front loops of the remaining stitches to close the opening securely.
Constant Increase Method
Start with a Magic Ring:
- Make 6 single crochets in the magic ring.
Next Steps:
- Different from the previous technique, when increasing, the pattern uses a less conventional increase strategy to maintain a consistent shape, such as increasing to 9 stitches and then to 12 in subsequence, adjusting the single crochet to increase ratios to maintain the cone form.
Continuing the Pattern:
- The pattern proceeds with increasing rounds, similar to the first method described but following its own specific sequence until reaching the desired size.
Closing Up the Bottom:
- It mentions using the same method for closing up the bottom as previously described, which includes decreasing rounds and stuffing.
Additional Tips
- Shantel provides tips on achieving different looks with the cones, including adjusting the rows of single crochet between increases to change the length and slope of the cones.
- The video also discusses stitch marking, stuffing techniques, and the importance of consistent increases for an even shape.
