Materials Needed for Clarence the Peckish Plant Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Cut a circle of felt, foam, or card to fit the base of the pot and place it inside, then add plenty of toy stuffing to the pot for stability.
• Sew the Grippy Leaves to the sides of the body on either side of the bend, pushing the ends of the pipe cleaners into the body before sewing them securely.
• Secure the three Twirly Vines to the soil behind the body, pushing the ends of the pipe cleaners into the soil and spreading them evenly around the back of the plant.
• Sew down each vine along its length for security, then curl up the ends for a playful look.
• Add stuffing to the body, leaving some space at the top for the head to fit into the neck opening.
• Place the head into the neck opening in your chosen direction, then sew it into the neck using lilac yarn, first stitching through the back seam and three back petals, then around the lower half where the chin sits on the petals.
• Turn up the corners of the mouth into a cheeky smile and sew the Protective Spikes randomly over the body, adding as many as you like for extra personality.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently throughout the pattern, especially when working the bent sections of the stem with back loop and front loop combinations to avoid losing your place
• 💡Stuff the pot firmly with plenty of toy stuffing and consider adding a balloon weight or weighted beads to the base for extra stability since Clarence is top-heavy
• 💡Always insert pipe cleaners or wire into the vines, leaves, and lips before closing them up completely to ensure they are poseable and secure
• 💡When adding safety eyes, poke a hole in the fabric first with a knitting needle or pencil to make insertion easier and ensure proper placement before securing
• 💡Cut the fabric stabilizer strip for the pot lip to exactly half the height of the lip measured from Round 33 to Round 46 for the best structural support
• 💡Keep the roof of the mouth flat when stuffing the head to maintain the proper shape and allow the mouth to open and close naturally
• 💡Pin all parts in their intended positions before sewing them permanently to ensure correct placement and balance
