This listing is for the pdf file of combined screenshots from the crochet kuromi blog posts. I suggest buying the pattern on the blog instead because it's higher quality, while in the pdf the photos are compressed & blurry and the videos aren't included. Over there, you can still download this listing's pdf file: https://www.wonderwishesstudio.ca/post/kuromi-crochet-pattern-pt-1-3
 
*+:Buying this item is for instructions on how I crochet the plush, not a finished product!!! You can commission a finished amigurumi here: https://www.wonderwishesstudio.ca/product-page/crochet-kuromi-commission

This pattern is written in US crochet terminology.
 
Difficulty: Difficult - the stitching can get complicated in some areas - you should be familiar with identifying stitches and their front/back loops, back bumps, posts, etc.
a medium sized project with multiple parts to crochet and sew together
 
Language: English
 
Sizing:
As a guide for you, I make my kuromi with medium worsted yarn (size 4) and a 3.5mm hook, matched with crochet thread and a 2.0mm hook for the ear tips. This yarn and hook combination creates a kuromi that is about 17cm tall. You may use any size yarn and hook you desire; just remember that your finished product may differ in size. Size will also vary depending on your crochet tension and yarn~
