After Luna the Crescent Moon, Archie is the second character in my “Regulate Your Universe” play set. You can find out more about Archie and his story here.

At about 4.5” in diameter, Archie is bigger than Luna but still not too big for little hands to squish.

To complete this crochet sun pattern you will need:

• Worsted weight yarn in yellow and orange
• Size F and Size 7 (3.75 and 4.5 mm) crochet hooks
• 15mm black safety eyes
• Polyester (or other) stuffing
• Yarn needle

Archie’s front and back are straightforward; just single crochet increases. The corona is more involved; adding in slip stitches, double and treble crochets. But there is a detailed photo tutorial to ensure you should be able to complete it without too much trouble.

The pattern also includes links to all my YouTube videos that demonstrate some basic amigurumi techniques and tips.
