How to Crochet Your Own Adorable Toothless Amigurumi

Creating your own Toothless Amigurumi is a popular and rewarding project for crochet enthusiasts and fans of the “How to Train Your Dragon” series. Amigurumi, the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures, perfectly captures the charm of Toothless, the beloved Night Fury dragon. With some black yarn, green safety eyes, and a crochet hook, you can bring this iconic character to life in cuddly, handcrafted form, making a perfect gift or a treasured addition to your own collection.

Why Crochet a Toothless Amigurumi?

The appeal of crafting a Toothless amigurumi lies not only in the popularity of the character but also in the satisfaction of creating something unique with your own hands. It allows for customization in size and expression, and the process itself can be a relaxing and enjoyable hobby. Plus, the finished product is undeniably cute and serves as a testament to your crochet skills, bringing a little piece of Berk right into your home.

Stuff pieces firmly as you go, unless otherwise noted.

Pattern:

(Note: This is a simplified structure. A full pattern would have detailed round-by-round instructions for each piece.)

Head (Start with Black Yarn)

Start with a MR.
Increase in each round to form a flat circle (e.g., R1: 6 sc in MR; R2: 6 inc (12); R3: [sc, inc] x 6 (18); R4: [sc 2, inc] x 6 (24), etc.) until desired diameter.
Work several rounds of sc even (without increasing) to build height.
Start decreasing symmetrically to shape the head (e.g., [sc 2, dec] x 6; [sc, dec] x 6, etc.).
Insert safety eyes between appropriate rounds before the opening gets too small. Consider the placement shown in the image.
Stuff the head firmly before closing.
Continue decreasing until the hole is small, then fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing if needed (though usually the body is worked directly from the head or sewn on separately).

Body (Start with Black Yarn)

Often worked directly from the head opening or started separately and sewn on.
If separate: Start with MR and increase similarly to the head, but perhaps make it slightly more oval or pear-shaped by varying increase/decrease placement and adding more ‘even’ rounds.
Increase to the widest point of the body.
Work several rounds even.
Start decreasing to close the bottom.
Stuff firmly before closing. Fasten off.

Legs (Make 4, Black Yarn)

Start with MR (e.g., 6 sc).
Increase for 1-2 rounds (e.g., R2: 6 inc (12)).
Work several rounds even to create the leg length.
Stuff lightly (mainly the foot part).
Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Sew legs securely to the body in the correct positions.

Wings (Make 2, Black Yarn)

Wings can be complex. They often involve rows or shaped rounds, potentially using different stitches (hdc, dc) to create the points and membrane shapes.
Option 1 (Crocheted):
- Chain a foundation chain.
- Work back and forth in rows, using increases and decreases strategically to shape the wing’s typical bat-like structure. May involve working around posts or into specific loops for texture.
- Alternatively, crochet separate “finger” sections and join them.
Option 2 (Felt): Cut wing shapes from black felt and attach them (sew or glue). This might be easier for beginners.
Attach wings to the sides of the body.

Tail (Black and Red Yarn)

Start with Black yarn. MR (e.g., 4-6 sc).
Work in continuous rounds, making a long, thin tube. Sc in each stitch around for many rounds. You might include very slight increases near the body and decreases near the tip for shaping.
Lightly stuff the tail as you go, or leave unstuffed.
For the tail fins:
- Switch to Red for one half (or make a separate red piece).
- Crochet flat fin shapes (likely small triangles or specific shapes worked in rows) separately in Black and Red.
- Sew the fin pieces onto the end of the tail tube, mimicking the design from the movie (one black side, one red side, often asymmetrical).
Sew the base of the tail to the back of the body.

Ears/Horns (Make multiple pairs of varying sizes, Black Yarn)

These are typically small cones or spike shapes.

MR (e.g., 4 sc).
Work a few rounds, possibly with a single increase round near the base (e.g., R2: [sc, inc] x 2 (6)).
Work a few rounds even.
Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
Arrange and sew the horns/ears onto the head as shown in the image (usually two larger main horns, smaller nubs behind them, and possibly some down the spine).

Assembly:

Sew the head to the body (if made separately).
Sew the four legs to the underside/sides of the body.
Sew the wings onto the back/sides.
Sew the tail onto the back.
Sew all the ears/horns onto the head and potentially down the back.
Weave in all loose ends securely.
