Spongebob amigurumi toys can often have a difficult design to make, but you should have noticed right away that my post today can be made quite easily, but you may need to buy the details on how to make Spongebob’s face in particular from the designer’s profile. However, if you wish, you can make these parts by looking at the photos of the toy and scaling them. For this, you will need to print out a photo of the toy. Then, you can easily decorate the toy by cutting felt pieces in different colors to appropriate sizes.
Spongebob Squarepants Crochet toy Step by Step
If you have previously learned to make parts like eyes and noses using yarn, you can showcase these skills here, but these processes will take too long. If you have not tried this before, I will suggest you do it using felt. It will be in your favor to learn how to make eyes using yarn by trying them on simpler toys.
The materials needed to make Spongebob are shared very clearly and the crochet hook we will use to make the toy is 5mm. Don’t forget to follow me if you want to make toys of more cartoon characters. Let’s get started!
