Materials Needed for Counting Game Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• Sew each crocheted number to its matching white circle by positioning the letter on the circle and stitching through both layers, hiding ends neatly on the wrong side.
• Stuff each ball firmly and evenly before finishing the last rounds; sew the last row by inserting a needle into the BLO of every stitch and pulling to close, then hide the thread.
• Place or sort the balls into the bowls by color and number as a counting set; you can stitch the circles to the bowl base if you want them permanently attached, or leave them removable for play.
• Make the plus, minus and equal signs by sewing the small sign pieces together as instructed and attach to a square base; weave in all ends and trim any excess threads.
• Pin parts in place before sewing to ensure correct alignment and symmetry, especially when sewing numbers or signs to the white circle bases.

Important Notes

• 💡This pattern is written in US terminology and is worked in continuous rounds unless otherwise stated; check the US/UK note if you are used to UK terms.
• 💡Use stitch markers to mark the beginning of each round to avoid losing your place while working increases and shaping.
• 💡Stuff the balls and bowls gradually to maintain smooth shapes; overstuffing can distort stitches and under stuffing can make pieces floppy.
• 💡Sew the final row with a needle into the BLO when instructed — this secures the shape and creates a neat finish.
• 💡Weave in ends as you go to keep the finishing simple and tidy.
