Donkey Kong Amigurumi Pattern
About the Pattern:
This amigurumi pattern will guide you through the creation of
Donkey Kong. The finished piece will be approximately 5 inches
in length, 12 inches in width, and 12 inches in height.
All the patterns were created with a 2.75mm (C) hook but
different hooks sizes can be used.
The yarn used in the pattern was primarily based on color. As
long as it is worsted weight (or DK weight) and matches the hook
size it will be fine.
To create these items you will need a basic understanding of
crochet. There are many tutorials on YouTube that guide you
through the various stitches in crochet.
Materials:
 Brown, red, tan, white, and yellow yarn
 Fibrefill or polyfill
 2.75mm (E) hook
 Yarn needle
 Scissors
 Stitch markers

Notes:
Before starting this project, please read through the pattern

will help when creating the pieces.
Pin all the pieces in position before sewing them in place.
Ensure to stuff the piece as it is created.

Assembly:
1) Attach the feet to the bottom of the legs
with the long tail and whip stitch. The
leg is attached at the front of the foot in
Rnd 12 and goes all the way back to the
last round on the foot. Ensure the big
toes are pointed inwards. Angle the feet
so that the smaller toes point forward
and the big toe points inward. Stuff the
legs firmly before closing the opening.
2) Attach the stomach and chest patch to
the front of the body. The patch should
start at Rnd 26 of the body. Line up the
patch with the middle point between the
2 legs. With the yarn tail from the patch
use a whip stitch piece. Ensure the
bottom of the chest lines up with the
increasing rounds of the body (i.e. Rnd
44). The top portion of the patch should
reach Rnd 61. Increase/decrease the
number of 42 stitch rows to the chest
piece to accommodate.
3) Attach the arms on the side of the body
with the tail from the arm pieces.
Position them so that the fingers bend
backwards and the thumbs face inward.
The arms were attached starting Rnd 62
and going down to Rnd 54.
Page 13
4) Attach the mouth piece to the head. I found that folding the
piece in half so that the 12sc portion faces upwards along
with 9hdc on either side. Position the top have and sew into
the head with a whip stitch. Once you reach the bottom half
of the folded mouth piece, flip it over and position the bottom
half. The centre bottom of the mouth piece should overlap
with the top few rows of the chest patch. Continue attaching
the mouth piece with a whip stitch. Firmly stuff the mouth
piece before sewing closed the opening.
5) Attach the nose to the mouth piece. Centre the nose on the
mouth piece and position it between Rnd 2 and Rnd 3. Sew
Row 1 (i.e. the row of chains) of the nose down in Rnd 3 and
only sew down the top of the double crochet in Row 2 to Rnd
2. This creates the nostrils.
6) Attach the eyes to the head. Position them equidistant from
the middle of the face. Leave 2 stitches between the eyes.
8) Attach the eyebrow
ridge to the face. The
eyebrow ridge should
frame the eyes by 1
stitch along the sides
and top. Ensure to
create peaks in the
corners and a dip
between the eyes with
the eyebrow ridge.
9) Attach the ears to either
side of the head. Ensure
that the bottom of the
Page 14
ear touches the edge of the mouth
piece. Position the ears so that the
increases are folded in half and
pointing backwards.
10) I used black and brown felt to needle
felt the pupil and iris. A sheet of felt can
be used to cut out the shapes for the
eyes and sewn onto the piece. Ensure
the eyes are in pointing in the same
direction.
11) I used the same yarn to create the lips as I did for the mouth
piece. I positioned the yarn for the upper lip, then pulled the
end through the mouth piece. I lined up another piece of yarn
to create the lower lip. I weaved in the yarn tails and needled
felted the two pieces of yarn to ensure they stay in place.
12) Create the letters ‘D’ and ‘K’ on the tie with surface crochet.
These letters can also be created by
needle felt or cut from a sheet of yellow
felt. Ensure to tie the tie properly so
that it does not twist and the letters are
facing outwards. You may need to
block the tie to get it to lay flat.
Now it’s complete! Hope you enjoyed
making this as much as I did. If there are
any mistakes feel free to contact me.
