Greetings, dear community, on the day I share my most recent amigurumi, I know of a commission that a friend made for a birthday present for one of her closest friends, really, when I received the instructions from my friend, I had no idea who it was the character so I had to investigate reference images, at first I started my search naively thinking that it was a sheep, to my surprise it is an alpaca 😅, this is part of some characters designed by the members of the Korean group BTS that is very fashionable among young people today, the alpaca is called RJ and was designed by Jin, having the necessary images I made my sketch as always and then I made the amigurumi from scratch.
For this amigurumi I used a #4 (1.25mm) crochet hook, white, light brown, light pink, black and red acrylic yarn, a large eyelet needle and anti-allergic synthetic fiber filling. I started with the brown legs on the hooves, then I changed to white thread, joining both parts I began to make the trunk, this character has a shape of lumps both on the body and on the head, I suppose it is to simulate the wool of the alpaca that looks like a cloud, I did this by making increases and then decreases on the sides. I made the arms, stuffed them and sewed them to the body.
Since the head also has this lumpy appearance, I started by making two parts that, when joined together, would allow me to continue making the head. Likewise, by placing the increases and decreases on the sides of the head, I obtained the desired shape, stuffed the head and sewed it to the body.
I made the ears just a little pointed and sewed them to the head, also with the tail, the eyes and the cheeks I made them with circles of the corresponding color, embroidering the eyebrows, nose and mouth with the black thread, while for the red handkerchief I started with a chain on which I made two increases, working with increases in each corner of the rows I obtained a triangular shape from which I started to make a small strip of chains and slip stitches to tie the scarf to the neck of the alpaca.
I don't know anything about pop or K-pop as it's called but I'm sure I've done my best to achieve similarity with the alpaca RJ, so I'm happy to have finished the commission that was given to me only three days in advance and With my effort I managed to finish it in just two days 😁
