I am not a shrimp…I am a king prawn! :) This is my original design that I created based on The Muppets character Pepe the King Prawn. This pattern is purely fan art (flattery in its highest form), and is in no way associated with The Muppets.

He is slightly more finicky than my other amigurumi patterns, but worth the effort. You should feel comfortable making amigurumi toys to complete him successfully, but don’t be scared if you don’t consider yourself seasoned—just take your time and enjoy the process!

Some techniques you’ll be using are: crocheting in the round, half-color changes, twisted cords, and some basic sewing. I’ve supplied ample descriptions and photos to (hopefully!) make everything clear. This pattern doesn’t take much of each color yarn—half a 3.5-oz skein (or less) of each color (burnt orange, black, beige, pink, red, dark brown, white, gold/mustard yellow) should get you by, and you may already have what you need in your stash. You will also need 5mm safety eyes and black embroidery floss.
