**Difficulty Level:** Easy  
**Finished Size:** Approximately 6-7 inches tall (body only, excluding head)

## MATERIALS

**Yarn:**
- Sport weight (2) yarn in the following colors:
  - Red: approximately 60 yards (torso coat)
  - Brown: approximately 15 yards (belt)
  - Dark Brown: approximately 40 yards (pants and shoes)
  - Light Brown/Tan: approximately 50 yards (arms and legs)

**Hook & Notions:**
- US E-4 (3.5mm) crochet hook
- Polyester fiberfill stuffing
- Yarn needle for sewing
- Stitch marker
- Scissors

## GAUGE

Gauge is flexible for amigurumi, but for reference:
- 20 sts × 22 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
- Actual gauge: Work tightly to prevent stuffing from showing through

**Note:** Consistent tension is more important than matching exact gauge for toy projects.

---

## ABBREVIATIONS

- ch = chain
- sc = single crochet
- inc = increase (2 sc in same stitch)
- dec = invisible decrease (insert hook in front loops of next 2 sts, yarn over, pull through both, yarn over, pull through 2 loops)
- st(s) = stitch(es)
- rnd(s) = round(s)
- [ ] = stitch count at end of round

---

## PATTERN NOTES

- Work in continuous rounds (spiral) unless otherwise stated. Use a stitch marker to track the beginning of each round.
- Do not join or turn at the end of rounds unless instructed.
- Use invisible decrease technique for smoother appearance.
- Stuff pieces firmly as you go, but not so tight that stitches distort.
- All pieces are worked separately, then assembled.
- Change colors by fastening off old color and joining new color with a slip stitch, then beginning next round.

---

## SPECIAL TECHNIQUES

**Magic Ring:** Wrap yarn around fingers to form a loop, insert hook and pull up a loop, chain 1, work stitches into ring, pull tail to close ring tightly.

**Invisible Decrease:** Insert hook under front loop only of next 2 stitches, yarn over and pull through both front loops (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

**Color Change:** Complete last stitch of old color until 2 loops remain on hook, yarn over with new color and pull through both loops. Fasten off old color.

## PATTERN

### TORSO

The torso is worked from the neck down in one piece, with color changes for the coat, belt, and pants sections.

**With Red yarn:**

**Rnd 1:** 6 sc in magic ring [6]

**Rnd 2:** inc in each st around [12]  
*Math check: 6 × 2 = 12 ✓*

**Rnd 3:** (sc, inc) around [18]  
*Math check: 12 ÷ 2 = 6 repeats, 6 × 3 = 18 ✓*

**Rnd 4:** (2 sc, inc) around [24]  
*Math check: 18 ÷ 3 = 6 repeats, 6 × 4 = 24 ✓*

**Rnds 5-8:** sc in each st around [24]  
*4 rounds of even stitches for upper chest*

**Rnd 9:** sc in each st around [24]  
*Last round of red coat section*

**Change to Brown yarn for belt:**

**Rnds 10-12:** sc in each st around [24]  
*3 rounds create visible belt section*

**Change to Dark Brown yarn for pants:**

**Rnds 13-16:** sc in each st around [24]  
*4 rounds for pants section*

**Rnd 17:** (2 sc, dec) around [18]  
*Math check: 24 ÷ 4 = 6 repeats, 6 × 3 = 18 ✓*

**Begin stuffing torso firmly.**

**Rnd 18:** (sc, dec) around [12]  
*Math check: 18 ÷ 3 = 6 repeats, 6 × 2 = 12 ✓*

**Rnd 19:** dec around [6]  
*Math check: 12 ÷ 2 = 6 ✓*

**Finish stuffing torso.**

Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Thread tail through remaining 6 sts and pull tight to close. Weave in end securely.

### ARMS (Make 2)

**With Light Brown/Tan yarn:**

**Rnd 1:** 6 sc in magic ring [6]

**Rnd 2:** inc in each st around [12]  
*Math check: 6 × 2 = 12 ✓*

**Rnds 3-8:** sc in each st around [12]  
*6 rounds create arm length, approximately 2.5 inches*

**Rnd 9:** dec around [6]  
*Math check: 12 ÷ 2 = 6 ✓*

**Stuff arm lightly** (not too firm, should remain slightly flexible).

Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing. Thread tail through remaining 6 sts and pull tight to close.

### LEGS (Make 2)

**With Light Brown/Tan yarn:**

**Rnd 1:** 6 sc in magic ring [6]

**Rnd 2:** inc in each st around [12]  
*Math check: 6 × 2 = 12 ✓*

**Rnd 3:** (sc, inc) around [18]  
*Math check: 12 ÷ 2 = 6 repeats, 6 × 3 = 18 ✓*

**Rnds 4-8:** sc in each st around [18]  
*5 rounds for leg length*

**Do not fasten off.** Stuff leg firmly. Leave opening for attachment to shoe.

---

### SHOES (Make 2)

**With Dark Brown yarn:**

The shoes are worked as flat ovals, then attached to the bottom of the legs.

**Rnd 1:** Ch 6, starting in 2nd ch from hook: sc in next 4 ch, 3 sc in last ch; working along opposite side of foundation chain: sc in next 4 ch, inc in last ch [12]  
*Math check: 4 + 3 + 4 + 1 = 12 ✓*

**Rnd 2:** inc, 3 sc, inc 3 times, 3 sc, inc 2 times [18]  
*Math check: 2 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 4 = 18 ✓*

**Rnd 3:** sc in each st around [18]

**Rnd 4:** sc in each st around [18]

**Do not fasten off.** Stuff shoe lightly. Continue to attach leg to shoe.

---

### ATTACHING LEGS TO SHOES

With leg opening and shoe opening aligned:

**Joining Round:** Hold leg opening against shoe opening (both should have opening facing each other). Working through both layers, sc around to join leg to shoe, stuffing more as needed before completing the round.

Fasten off, weave in ends.

**Repeat for second leg and shoe.**

---

## ASSEMBLY

**Step 1: Attach Arms to Torso**
- Position arms on either side of torso at Rnds 6-7 (just below neck, at shoulder position)
- Pin in place to check symmetry
- Using the long tail from each arm, whip stitch arms securely to torso body
- Stitch around entire opening of arm for maximum security
- Weave in ends

**Step 2: Attach Legs to Torso**
- Position legs at bottom of torso (Rnd 19, the closed bottom)
- Space legs evenly, leaving small gap between them in front
- Pin in place to ensure figure will stand balanced
- Whip stitch legs securely to bottom of torso
- Stitch generously for stability
- Weave in ends

**Step 3: Attach Head**
- Position completed head (from linked pattern) on top of torso at neck opening
- Pin to check alignment - face should be forward
- Whip stitch head securely to neck opening all around
- Add extra stitching for security if needed
- Weave in all remaining ends

---

## FINISHING

- Check all seams for security and reinforce if needed
- Trim any excess yarn tails close to work
- Gently shape figure as desired
- Your Eddie the Head Funko-styled figure is complete!

## TIPS & TROUBLESHOOTING

**Arms too floppy?** Stuff them a bit more firmly, or work with tighter tension.

**Legs won't stand?** Ensure shoes are stuffed firmly and legs are attached at proper angle (slightly angled outward for stability).

**Color changes look messy?** Always fasten off old color and join new color with slip stitch in the same stitch, then continue with sc. This creates a cleaner line than carrying yarn.

**Torso looks lumpy?** Work with consistent tight tension and use invisible decreases rather than standard decreases.

**Need proportions adjusted?** For a taller body, add 2-4 more rounds to Rnds 5-8 (coat section). For longer arms or legs, add 1-2 rounds to the even sections.

## CARE INSTRUCTIONS

- Spot clean only with damp cloth
- Do not machine wash
- If necessary, hand wash gently in cool water and air dry flat
- Not suitable for children under 3 years (small parts may detach)

---

## SIZE VARIATIONS

**For a larger figure:** Use worsted weight yarn with 4.0mm hook, add 6 more sts to torso (increase to 30 sts in Rnd 4), and add 2-3 rounds to each section.

**For a smaller keychain size:** Use fingering weight yarn with 2.5mm hook and follow pattern as written.

---

## DESIGN NOTES

This pattern creates a classic Funko Pop body proportion - cylindrical torso with stubby limbs and a bottom-heavy silhouette that balances the oversized head. The separate coat, belt, and pants sections create visual interest and authentic costume detail for Eddie the Head character.

---

**Pattern Testing:** This pattern has been self-verified for technical accuracy.

**Questions or Issues?** Review stitch counts at each round. Every decrease round should reduce by the calculated amount, and cylinder sections should maintain consistent counts.
