Elegant Amigurumi Swan Couple Crochet Tutorial – Cute and Easy for Beginners
🎀 1. Materials & Tools
-
Yarn: Four-strand milk cotton or core-spun yarn (e.g. honey yellow for accents)
-
Hooks: 2.0 mm for body, 1.25 mm for fine details
-
Accessories: 15 cm shaping wire for neck poseability
🧵 2. Start Head & Neck Construction
-
Begin with a magic ring or looped start in white yarn.
-
Increase rounds to form a spherical head: starting small, increasing each round until about 40 sts circumference.
-
Work straight for several rounds to define head height.
-
Begin light decrease or continue high stitch count to shape the top of the head.
🦢 3. Shape Beak & Color Accent
-
Switch colors to honey yellow or orange at beak section.
-
Use tighter gauge with smaller hook (1.25 mm) for detailed beak shape.
-
Finish beak tip with slip stitch or single crochet decrease.
🌹 4. Crochet Neck
-
After the beak, return to white yarn.
-
Begin neck rounds: increase slightly to transition from head size.
-
Optional: Insert wire inside neck to maintain graceful curvature.
⚓ 5. Form & Join Body
-
Continue crocheting in rounds expanding stitch count (e.g., 45–60 sts) to shape torso.
-
Stuff firmly as you progress, especially around shoulders and belly.
-
No separate body piece — crocheted continuously from neck to body base.
6. Create & Attach Wings
-
Crochet wing panels separately, shaped flat in back-and-forth rows.
-
Use half‑double crochets and double crochets to mimic feathers.
-
Once folded, sew or slip‑stitch wings to either side of the body.
7. Add Final Details & Finishing
-
Embroider or attach small black thread/ felt pieces for eyes.
-
Weave in all ends securely using tapestry needle.
-
Stuff body firmly and close opening with slip stitches.
8. Post‑Making: Wiring & Posing
-
Insert the 15 cm wire in neck before final stuffing step.
-
Shape wire to form a curved neck or intertwined heart shape.
-
Cover wire with stuffing to keep it hidden and smooth.
💡 Tips from the Video
-
Use tight gauge for durability and to keep stuffing hidden.
-
Adjust stuffing density: firmer in neck to support wire; softer in body for plushness.
-
Color change technique: complete stitch in old color, pull through new color to begin next stitch seamlessly.
-
Mirror two swans to create a lovely “couple” display—neck curves naturally form a heart.
✂️ Final Thoughts
