Tips for Homer’s Iconic Look
Homer’s round belly and nearly bald head are his trademarks, so stuff the torso generously and add the two little hair arcs with embroidered curved lines on top of the head. The M-shaped hairline at the back is a detail true fans notice. Keep the white shirt simple with a color change at the torso, and embroider his classic five o’clock shadow with light grey or brown short stitches around the mouth.
D’oh-lightful Gift for Simpsons Fans
Homer Simpson is a comedy legend, and this amigurumi makes a hilarious gift for Simpsons fans, donut lovers and collectors of TV’s most famous family. Display him next to a mini crocheted donut or Duff can for a scene that always gets laughs. Pair him with Marge, Bart and Lisa for the complete family set that fans dream of collecting.
Care Instructions
Spot clean Homer with a damp cloth and mild soap, or hand wash in cold water for a deeper clean. Press gently in a towel without wringing, reshape the round belly, and air dry flat. The embroidered hair and shadow details stay crisp with gentle care, keeping Springfield’s favorite dad in top form.
