Slip stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds without adding height
Increase (inc): Working two double crochet stitches in one stitch
Decrease (dec): Insert hook in the front loop of the next two stitches, yarn over, pull through both loops, yarn over again and pull through remaining two loops

Magic ring: Creates a tight center circle to begin spherical shapes
St/sts: Stitch/stitches

Azumarill Amigurumi Creating The Body And Head

The body and head form a single continuous piece, worked from bottom to top using white and turquoise yarn:

Round 1: Work 6 double crochet in a magic ring (6 stitches total). Round 2: Increase in all stitches around (12 stitches total). Round 3: Work 1 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 6 times around (18 stitches total). Round 4: Work 2 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 6 times around (24 stitches total). Round 5: Work 3 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 6 times around (30 stitches total). Round 6: Work 9 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 3 times around (33 stitches total). Round 7: Work 10 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 3 times around (36 stitches total). Round 8: Work 11 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 3 times around (39 stitches total). Round 9: Work 12 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 3 times around (42 stitches total). Round 10: Work 13 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 3 times around (45 stitches total). Round 11: Work 14 double crochet, 1 increase and repeat this pattern 3 times around (48 stitches total).

Pay special attention to the color changes in the following rounds:

Round 12 (White wavy pattern): Working in the front loops of Round 11 only: Work 1 half treble, 2 half treble in one stitch, 1 half treble, slip stitch in the next three stitches and repeat this pattern 8 times around (56 stitches total). This creates Azumarill’s distinctive white wavy pattern. Fasten off the white yarn.

Round 12 (Turquoise body): Working in the back loops of Round 11 only: Attach turquoise yarn in first back loop, double crochet in same stitch, and double crochet in each of the remaining 47 back loops (48 stitches total).

Continue with turquoise yarn for the remaining rounds:

Round 13: Work 48 double crochet around (48 stitches total).

*In the next round (Round 14), every second and third stitch will be worked into the loop in the back of the white half treble of Round 12 as well as the turquoise stitch of Round 13. This flattens the white wavy pattern onto the main body.

Round 14: Work 1 double crochet, 2 double crochet worked in both the back of white stitch and turquoise stitch, 3 double crochet and repeat this pattern 8 times around (48 stitches total). Rounds 15-21: Work 48 double crochet around for 7 rounds (48 stitches total). Round 22: Work 14 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 3 times around (45 stitches total). Round 23: Work 13 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 3 times around (42 stitches total). Round 24: Work 12 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 3 times around (39 stitches total). Round 25: Work 11 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 3 times around (36 stitches total). Round 26: Work 10 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 3 times around (33 stitches total). Round 27: Work 9 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 3 times around (30 stitches total).

At this point, place Azumarill’s eyes. Position the first eye in the 18th stitch between rows 25 and 26, and the second eye in the 24th stitch between rows 25 and 26.

Begin stuffing the body and head firmly before continuing:

Round 28: Work 3 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 6 times around (24 stitches total). Round 29: Work 2 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 6 times around (18 stitches total).

Add more stuffing if needed to achieve a firm, rounded shape:

Round 30: Work 1 double crochet, 1 decrease and repeat this pattern 6 times around (12 stitches total). Round 31: Work 6 decreases around (6 stitches total).

Fasten off and weave in the loose end securely to close the opening.

Fasten off and weave in the end securely.

Azumarill Amigurumi Creating The Zigzag Tail

The distinctive zigzag tail uses a pipe cleaner core covered with black yarn:

Insert the black pipe cleaner around a double crochet stitch in row 6 at the back of Azumarill’s body.
Pull through and fold the pipe cleaner in half to create a sturdy core.
If your pipe cleaner is very fluffy, trim it down slightly for a cleaner appearance.
Attach the black yarn with a slip stitch in the same stitch where you inserted the pipe cleaner.
Double crochet around the pipe cleaner until about 1 cm of the pipe cleaner remains exposed.
Fasten off the black yarn.
Insert the remaining exposed pipe cleaner into the tail ball and sew the two pieces together securely.
Once all ends are sewn in, carefully bend the tail to create the characteristic zigzag shape that makes Azumarill recognizable.

Azumarill Amigurumi Final Assembly And Decorative Details

Bring your Azumarill to life with these finishing touches:

Sew the ears to the top of the head, positioned slightly to the sides for the classic Azumarill look.
Attach the arms to the sides of the body, slightly angled forward.
Sew the feet to the bottom of the body, ensuring they’re positioned to allow Azumarill to sit stably.
Use black embroidery floss to create a small nose and simple curved smile on the face.
Cut out two small ear-shaped pieces from pink felt to attach to the inner portions of the crocheted ears.
Cut approximately 10 round and oval pieces of white felt in various sizes to create the belly pattern characteristic of Azumarill.
Once all limbs have been sewn securely to the body, glue the felt pieces in position – pink pieces inside the ears and white pieces scattered across the front of the body.

Display Ideas And Care Instructions

Your completed Azumarill deserves proper care and display:

Display Suggestions

Collection Display: Position alongside other Pokémon amigurumi for a themed collection.
Desk Companion: Place on your work desk or gaming station as a cheerful companion.
Shelf Arrangement: Create a small habitat setting with blue fabric or decorative elements to highlight Azumarill’s water-type nature.

Care Instructions

Dust Removal: Use a soft brush or compressed air on low setting to clean between crevices.
Storage: When not on display, store in a clean, dry container away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
