Big Hero 6’s Baymax has been a best seller in my Etsy shop, making it as far as Canada and Ireland! Baymax is a crafter’s dream and came out to be one of the easiest amigurumis I’ve worked on so far. From making this doll so many times, I found some tricks and tweaks to make this doll easier to make.
Materials I use: Red Heart with Love in White, 12mm black safety eyes, Hawaiian Pillow Co. fiber fill, size G/4mm Clover Soft Touch crochet hook, yarn needle, and sewing pins.
I like to start off by making the limbs and head first. For the arms, I make the fingers and attached them as I made the 3rd round of the arm. (Insert the hook on both sides of the finger and crochet in corresponding stitch on the arm.) I replaced the last round with a “sc each around” instead of decreasing. This allows for a nicer attachment point for later.
Once the 5 parts are done, I work on the body as stated in the pattern. The arms are attached on rounds 34 and 35 as they are made. (Similar to attaching the fingers to the arm: insert hook onto a stitch from the “armpit” and into the body). I feel this method of attaching is more secure and reduces time spent sewing.
Pattern is by AmigurumisFanClub and can be found here.
