This amigurumi is really delightful to look at. It has a soft, smooth texture thanks to tight crochet stitches, making it perfect for hugging or displaying.

The style is simple yet charming, perfect for adding personality to your gaming room, desk, or shelf. One of the standout points is how the small details really bring this doll to life.
The toy is made by crocheting separate pieces like the head, arms, and body, which are then carefully sewn together.

How I Made the Crochet Pattern
- Started with a magic ring, built the head with classic amigurumi increases.

- Added large spacing for eyes, embroidered a curved smile with black yarn.

The Pattern!
Head (White)
Round 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
Round 2: inc x6 (12)
Round 3: (inc, sc) x6 (18)
Round 4: (inc, sc x2) x6 (24)
Round 5: (inc, sc x3) x6 (30)
Round 6: (inc, sc x4) x6 (36)
Rounds 7–11: sc in each st (36) for 5 rounds
You begin with a magic ring, and work increases to create a round sphere. These rows give Dream’s head its shape. If unsure, just follow the stitch counts for a firm, smooth ball.
Round 12: (dec, sc x4) x6 (30)
Round 13: (dec, sc x3) x6 (24)
*Insert safety eyes evenly spaced between rounds 7 & 8, about 9 stitches apart—Dream’s design has widely spaced eyes for that iconic look. You can add more stuffing at this point.
Round 14: (dec, sc x2) x6 (18)
Start stuffing the head, especially between and around the eyes.
Round 15: (dec, sc) x6 (12)
Add more stuffing.
Round 16: dec x6 (6)
Stuff firmly, finish off.
Finishing:
Slip stitch in next st, leave a tail, and use yarn needle to weave through the front loops of remaining 6 stitches. Pull tight to close. Weave through head to secure. Squeeze/shape for a round finish.
If you don’t read patterns: You’re making a ball, closing it up, and adding widely spaced eyes. Stuff as you go; use tight stitches.
Body (White)
Round 1: MR, 6 sc (6)
Round 2: inc x6 (12)
Round 3: (inc, sc) x6 (18)
Rounds 4–6: sc in each st (18) for 3 rounds
Round 7: (inc, sc x2) x6 (24)
Rounds 8–12: sc in each st (24) for 5 rounds
Round 13: (inc, sc x3) x6 (30)
Rounds 14–18: sc in each st (30) for 5 rounds
Round 19: BLO sc in each st (30)
Round 19 uses the back loop only for a subtle flatness at the base—Dream’s body is a cute pillow “blob.”
Round 20: (dec, sc x3) x6 (24)
Stuff lightly, leaving room for a flat base.
Round 21: (dec, sc x2) x6 (18)
Continue with stuffing until desired firmness.
Round 22: (dec, sc) x6 (12)
Round 23: dec x6 (6)
Finishing:
Slip stitch, leave tail for sewing. Use needle to weave through front loops, tighten to close, and weave through bottom for a neat finish.
If you don’t read patterns: The body shapes as a soft, slightly flattened oval—stuff gently, not too firm.
Assembly & Finishing
- Seam head to body using tail and yarn needle, sewing from head base (not very top) to about the 3rd-4th row down on body for a squat look.
- Secure well; shape plush so it sits upright.
- Embroider smile with black yarn, directly under the eyes, coming up from one stitch below the left eye, across to one stitch below the right eye, curving down in the center for a cheerful Dream smile.
- Weave tails inside and gently shape with your hands.
Solution to Common Problems
Body doesn’t sit flat:
Work round 19 in BLO, and avoid overstuffing the base.
Head shape distortions:
Stuff firmly and evenly, especially around the safety eyes.
Smile not looking correct:
Curve downward at the center to create a gentle smile.
