Measuring approximately 7 inches tall and 8.5 inches wide when using the recommended materials, this sleeping version of Kirby makes a perfect bedroom companion or display piece for any gaming enthusiast. The pattern works in continuous rounds using American crochet terminology, making it straightforward to follow once you get into the rhythm.

Why You'll Love This Sleeping Pink Puff Kirby Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines nostalgia with functionality in such a sweet way. The customizable hat means you can make multiple versions with different color schemes and decorations, each one unique and special. I'm particularly fond of how the bulky yarn creates that perfect squishy texture that makes you want to squeeze this little guy. The facial details are simple yet expressive, capturing Kirby's peaceful sleeping expression beautifully. It's one of those projects that looks impressive when finished but is actually quite manageable to create, which makes it so satisfying to complete.

Switch Things Up

I love experimenting with different color combinations for Kirby's sleepy hat beyond the classic purple and white. Try swapping in a soft blue base with yellow stars for a nighttime sky theme, or go with pink on pink for an ultra-sweet monochromatic look. The pattern even shows an adorable light blue and yellow version that gives off major dreamy vibes.

For the hat decorations, I sometimes mix stars and circles together for a whimsical constellation effect. You could also try making all small stars using the 4mm hook for a more delicate scattered pattern, or go bold with all large stars for maximum impact.

If you want to add extra personality, consider embroidering tiny closed eyelashes above the eyes using black thread for an even sleepier expression. Some crafters add a small heart to one cheek instead of just the blush marks for a loving touch.

The feet color can be swapped too - while red is classic Kirby, trying them in the same light pink as the body creates a more cohesive, peaceful sleeping aesthetic. Or use white feet to match the hat trim for a pajama-like effect.

For gifting, I sometimes add a small fabric star pillow for Kirby to rest on, or create a tiny crocheted blanket. These extra touches transform the project from a plushie into a complete bedtime scene.

Don't be afraid to adjust the stuffing firmness based on your preference. Slightly firmer stuffing helps Kirby hold his shape better for display, while softer stuffing makes him more squeezable and huggable for children.

You can also scale the entire pattern up or down by using different yarn weights - try worsted weight with a smaller hook for a mini keychain version, or use super bulky yarn for an oversized cuddle buddy.

I've seen crafters add small wire armature to the arms before stuffing to make them poseable, though this should be avoided if making the toy for young children. It allows you to position Kirby's arms in different sleeping poses.

The pattern works beautifully as a starting point for other round characters too. With color and feature adjustments, you could adapt it to create other spherical gaming friends or original character designs.

Finally, consider making multiples in different hat styles and displaying them together - a whole collection of sleeping Kirbys in rainbow colors makes an absolutely adorable shelf display that showcases your crochet skills!

— Kirby's Facial Features :

Info :

Use black bulky weight yarn and darker pink worsted weight yarn.

Hat :

Try on Kirby's hat! The hat is removable and should fit around row 10 of his head. You may need to sew down the top of the hat to the bottom part of the hat so it stays flopped down.

Eyes (black yarn) :

Cut a piece of black bulky weight yarn. Sew on a straight line for each eye in between row 12-13. Each eye should be across 4 stitches, and the eyes should be 3 stitches apart.

Mouth (black yarn) :

Using a new piece of black bulky weight yarn, sew Kirby's mouth between row 14 and 15 of his head, in between Kirby's eyes. Pull yarn from bottom of stomach out to mouth position. Tie an overhand knot, tighten by pulling yarn to sides of knot. Pull bottom yarn strand so knot hits face. Thread top yarn strand onto needle and insert back into same hole, pulling through to stomach so knot hits face. The mouth has been formed with the knot. Don't pull too tight. If stitches are looser, you might need a double knot. Alternatively, cut a small circle out of felt and glue it.

Blush (darker pink yarn) :

Cut a long piece of dark pink worsted weight yarn. Sew on the blush for Kirby's cheeks between row 13 and 14, just below the eyes. The blush should be sewed one stitch to the side of the eyes and each blush should be across 2 stitches.

— Kirby's Arms :

Info :

Make 2. Use light pink yarn.

Round 1 :

MR 5 (5)

INC X 5 (10)

Round 3 :

(SC, INC) X 5 (15)

Round 4-5 :

15 SC [2 rounds] (15)

Info :

Stuff lightly. Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing. Sew the arms onto row 13-17 of Kirby's body. The arms should be near the outer edge of Kirby's blush.

— Kirby's Feet :

Info :

Make 2. Use red yarn.

Round 1 :

MR 6 (6)

Round 2 :

(SC, INC) X 3 (9)

Round 3 :

(2 SC, INC) X 3 (12)

Round 4-8 :

12 SC [5 rounds] (12)

Info :

Start stuffing the feet lightly.

Round 9 :

(2 SC, DEC) X 3 (9)

Round 10 :

(SC, DEC) X 3 (6)

Info :

Finish stuffing. Finish off and leave a long tail for sewing. You do not need to close the hole. Attach the feet onto row 16-17 of Kirby's body, approximately 4 stitches apart from each other.

Assembly Instructions

  • Place the completed sleepy hat on Kirby's head around row 10, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit.
  • Sew down the top portion of the hat to the bottom part to maintain the flopped-down sleeping position.
  • Attach the arms to rows 13-17 of the body, positioning them near the outer edges of the blush marks.
  • Sew the feet to rows 16-17 of the body, spacing them approximately 4 stitches apart.
  • Add facial features: sew eyes between rows 12-13 (4 stitches wide, 3 stitches apart), create mouth between rows 14-15 using the knot technique, and add blush marks between rows 13-14.
  • Securely attach the white pom pom to the tip of the sleepy hat.
  • Position and sew the stars (or circles) onto the hat based on how the top flops down for your desired look.

Important Notes

  • 💡Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds, especially during hat construction with multiple increase rounds
  • 💡Do not overstuff the body so Kirby can lay flat on his stomach in a sleeping position
  • 💡Try on the hat periodically while stuffing the head to ensure proper fit around row 10
  • 💡Flip the hat inside out before adding the white border for the correct texture appearance
  • 💡Stuff the pom pom and feet lightly to maintain proper proportions and shape
  • 💡When creating the mouth with the knot technique, don't pull too tight or the knot will disappear inside
  • 💡Pin all pieces in place before final sewing to ensure proper positioning and symmetry

You ask,

FAQs

Can I use a different yarn weight for this pattern?

While the pattern is designed for bulky weight yarn to achieve the soft, squishy texture and approximately 7-inch size, you can use other yarn weights. Just remember that using a lighter weight yarn will result in a smaller finished piece, and you'll need to adjust your hook size accordingly. The bulky yarn is recommended for that signature Kirby puffiness.

How do I keep the hat from standing straight up instead of flopping to the side?

The pattern includes instructions to sew down the top portion of the hat to the bottom part to maintain the flopped-down position. Before sewing, position the hat how you'd like it to drape, then use your yarn needle to tack it in place at a few strategic points. This will keep your sleeping Kirby looking peaceful and drowsy.

Do I have to make stars for the hat, or can I do something different?

The pattern is completely customizable! You can make stars, the optional polka dot circles, or create your own decorations. Some crafters might want to try moons, hearts, or leave the hat plain. The pattern includes instructions for both stars and circles, so feel free to get creative with your design.

Why does my Kirby not lay flat on his stomach?

This usually happens from overstuffing the body. The pattern specifically notes to avoid overstuffing so Kirby can achieve that sleeping position laying on his tummy. The ending rounds form the bottom of his stomach, so use a moderate amount of stuffing and test as you go by trying to position him flat.

Can I make the hat permanently attached instead of removable?

Absolutely! While the pattern designs the hat to be removable for versatility, you can certainly sew it permanently onto the head if you prefer. Just position it around row 10 where it naturally sits and stitch it securely all the way around the opening.

What's the best way to create the mouth with the knot technique?

The pattern includes detailed step-by-step instructions with figures showing how to tie an overhand knot and position it correctly on Kirby's face. The key is not pulling too tightly once the knot is in position, or it will disappear inside the stitches. If you have looser stitches, consider using a double knot. Alternatively, you can cut a small felt circle and glue it on instead.
