Locate the Rnd. 12 and, from this point, flatten the cap, shaping it into a shell-like form. The lighter part should face the inside of the concave area.

After shaping, use tweezers to add a small amount of fiberfill into the space inside the cap, just above the opening. The piece should keep its shell shape, so add only enough stuffing to fill the space without making the cap bulge.

STEM

Note: To make sewing easier, turn the cap inside out (reversing the shell shape). After sewing, return it to its original shape.

SCALES

In color Dulce de leche (Amigurumi #7077) or Brownie (Amigurumi #7400).

To create the pinecone scale effect, we’ll work into all remaining front loops from the rounds worked in BLO at the base. With Rnd. 17 of the pinecone base facing you, pull up a loop of yarn through the last remaining front loop of Rnd. 16 and make ch 1. The first scale will begin in this same loop.Work 1 hdc, 3 dc, 1 hdc into the first loop, skip the next two remaining loops, and make 1 slst into the next loop. Repeat this sequence through all remaining loops of the base. In total, your pinecone will have 39 scales.When you reach the end of the loops, fasten off and weave in the yarn end. Using your fingers, gently adjust the scale shape around the entire pinecone.

Sew the bow tie to the center of the bodyUsing sewing pins, position the bow tie at the center of the body, just below the snout, between Rnd. 12 and 13. With a tapestry needle, sew it firmly in place.

SPIKES

Note: Make sure the body is fully assembled, with all parts sewn in place, before starting the spikes. You’ll need to test the base on the assembled body and check if the number of repeated rounds needs to be adjusted for your piece.

PART 1 - SPIKES BASE

In color Brownie (Amigurumi #7400) or Eco (Amigurumi #5083).

Ch 6. Stitches are worked around both sides of the foundation chain.

Rnd. 1: starting into the second ch from the hook, make 4 sc, 3 sc in the last st. Continue on the other side of the foundation chain, and work 3 sc, 1 inc (12).

From this point on, all rounds will be worked entirely in BLO.

Rnd. 2: in BLO, work 1 inc, 3 sc, 3 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc (18).

Rnd. 3: in BLO, work 1 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, [1 sc, 1 inc] x 3, 3 sc, [1 sc, 1 inc] x 2 (24).

Rnd. 4: in BLO, work 1 sc, 1 inc, 4 sc, [1 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc] x 3, 3 sc, [1 sc, 1 inc, 1 sc] x 2 (30).

Rnd. 5: in BLO, work 3 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, [3 sc, 1 inc] x 3, 3 sc, [3 sc, 1 inc] x 2 (36).

Rnd. 6: in BLO, work 2 sc, 1 inc, 5 sc, [2 sc, 1 inc, 2 sc] x 3, 3 sc, [2 sc, 1 inc, 2 sc] x 2 (42).

Rnd. 7: in BLO, work 5 sc, 1 inc, 3 sc, [5 sc, 1 inc] x 3, 3 sc, [5 sc, 1 inc] x 2 (48).

Rnd. 8–13 (6 ROUNDS): in BLO, work 48 sc (48).

Note: As you work the last three repeated rounds (Rnds. 11–13), test the fit of the base on the assembled body. Your stitch tension and the type of single crochet you use may affect the height, so you might need to work more or fewer rounds. The spikes base should sit a little forward from the middle of the body, resting gently over the arm seams and aligning with the ears and legs.

Keep in mind that when working the spikes (Part 2), the piece tends to shrink slightly, since we will be working into the front free loops. For this reason, the best fit is with the base positioned slightly over the arm seams. On my pieces, I worked 6 repeated rounds. Adjust the number of rounds as needed to fit your piece.

Invisible fasten off and weave in the yarn end.

PART 2 - SPIKES

In color Brownie (Amigurumi #7400) or Eco (Amigurumi #5083).

To create the spike effect, we’ll work into all remaining front loops of the base.

Start by pulling up a loop of yarn into the first remaining front loop of Rnd. 1 and make ch 5. Make 1 slst into the second remaining loop. From there, repeat the sequence [ch 5, 1 slst] through all remaining loops and then through all front loops of Rnd. 13.

When you reach the end, make an invisible fasten off and weave in the yarn end. Place the piece on the back of the body and, if you wish, secure it in place with silicone/fabric glue.

SANTA HAT

PART 1 – HAT BODY

In color Dulce de leche (Amigurumi #7077) or Brownie (Amigurumi #7400).

Rnd. 1: work 5 sc in a magic ring (5).

In color White (Amigurumi Pelúcia #8001).

Rnd. 1: work ch 2 and 5 dc in a magic ring (5).

Rnd. 2: make only 1 slst (1). Leave the remaining stitches unworked.

Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail. To shape the pompom, using a tapestry needle, weave the yarn tail through the front loop of each remaining stitch and pull tight to close the opening. Weave in the yarn end. Finally, gently shape the piece to define the round form.

Attach the pompom and finish the hat

Place the pompom at the tip of the hat and secure it in place with silicone/fabric glue.Fold the top of the hat down to one side. Using a tapestry needle and a length of yarn in the same color as the hat body, make a small stitch to secure the underside of the folded section to the hat, keeping the fold in place.

Fold the tip of the hat in half. Lightly stuff the hat with fiberfill.

Sew the hat to the top of the piece and add a gold cord

Pin the hat on the top of the piece and sew it firmly in place. If you wish, make a hanging loop for the ornament using a gold cord.
