Macrophages’ role is to go around our body, eating anything suspicious (like bacteria, dead cells, etc.) to protect us. This cute, giant macrophage is easy and fast to crochet, and the perfect companion for all my other blood cell amigurumies. And, of course, the perfect gift for any biologist or immunologist!

The PDF includes step-by-step written instructions and visual references and photo-tutorials to help you, and it is available in English and Spanish.

Level: beginner.
You need to be familiar with the basic stitches used in amigurumis (chains, single crochet (US)/double crochet (UK), slip stitches, increases, invisible decreases, join two pieces together with single crochet/double crochet; there are photo-tutorials to learn how to invisible decrease with both right- and left-handed versions, if you need them), and with sewing parts.

Yarn and hooks: You can use any yarn weight you prefer, you only have to choose a suitable hook so you can crochet tight enough so the stuffing does not show.
