Use
This project is intended to create a finished Amigurumi doll of the character Bluey from the popular children's show Bluey. The finished doll is primarily used as a decorative collectible, a handmade gift, or a small toy. The finished size is approximately 15 cm tall.
Special Feature
The most prominent special feature of this design is the use of color changes within the rounds (often called tapestry crochet or intarsia technique) across the body. This method eliminates the need to sew on the character's large blue, calypso, and light blue markings, resulting in a cleaner, seamless finish.
Level of Difficulty
This is an Intermediate-level Amigurumi project. It requires prior experience with crocheting in continuous rounds, performing tight color changes, executing invisible decreases, and accurately assembling multiple small, shaped pieces (like the ears, mouth, and eyes).
Tutor's Suggestions
The tutor strongly suggests using a stitch marker to correctly identify the beginning of each round, especially due to the complexity of the color changes and shaping. When performing a color change, ensure you pull the new color through on the last yarn-over of the previous stitch to achieve a neat transition. The instructions are very precise, so follow the stitch count for each round carefully.

Step By Step Guide

It starts from the base (feet/paws) and works upward in continuous rounds, utilizing numerous color changes to form the character's distinctive markings.

Conclusion (Part 1)
The main body of Bluey, including the seamlessly crocheted color-work for the torso and head markings, is complete, stuffed, and closed. The second part will focus on creating and attaching all the facial and structural details.
Conclusion (Part 2)
All major external pieces for Bluey’s face, the mouth, nose, eyes, ears, and eyebrows—are now complete and attached to the main body. The tutorial concludes here, mentioning that if there are any final details, they will be covered in a potential third part.
Final Tip
When sewing on small features like the mouth and ears, use pins to secure the pieces in place first. Once positioned correctly, take time to ensure your sewing is neat and tight, as this step is crucial for giving your Amigurumi doll its final, polished look and desired expression.
