Spike isn’t your average amigurumi pineapple—oh no. With his snarky grin and a crown of spiky green yarn leaves sticking out like he’s just won a fight with a cactus, Spike will own pride of place in your collection. Other plushies may give him side-eye, but Spike just smirks, knowing full well he is the most rebellious piece of fruit in the bunch.

Pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit to reduce the potential for error.

CONSTRUCTION

Spike is worked in the round from the bottom up. His leaves and leaf cap are worked separately and sewn on.
