Mystery crochet alongs are fun digital events where you get to discover a brand new amigurumi, part by part, together with other amigurumi makers during a certain period of time.
Down below you'll find abbreviations, color keys, and other things that are good to know before the crochet along starts 6th of June. Welcome to the party!
Let me know in the comments if you're joining!
I hosted my first CAL in December 2018 for a small crowd of amigurumi enthusiasts. Ralf the moose was the first amigurumi we crocheted together and he stole many hearts that December. Since then my annual crochet alongs have grown rapidly and over 5000 people have participated so far.
The Happy Amigurumi Club is a positive and inspiring community for amigurumi makers who like to crochet and discover new amigurumi designs together with other like-minded people.
The goal with this community is to inspire and encourage you (and me) to grab that hook and weave in those ends regularly. Which will boost our creativity, decrease our stress levels and in the long run make us happier crocheters.

The secret PDF pattern is divided into 6 pieces + assembling instructions. The parts will be sent to your inbox 1-2 days apart and we'll wrap up the crochet along with a live assembling party (hosted on YouTube) on Wednesday the 19th of June.

[…]x… - repeat the instructions in the brackets x-times
(…) - the number of stitches at the end of the round.
You'll also learn how to shape with slip stitches!
KEEP THIS IN MIND
- Make sure you crochet pretty tight all the way, so you don’t get large holes between the stitches. If you crochet loosely, I suggest you test a smaller hook size (ex. 3.00 mm) so that the stuffing doesn‘t show once you‘ve filled the toy.
- All parts will be worked in spirals (if the pattern doesn’t say otherwise) - so you don‘t have to think about closing the rounds.
- A stitch marker can help you keep track of the beginning of your rows.
