01 of 05 Crochet Star & SpongeBob Amigurumi
Create your own underwater duo with these quick and easy amigurumi designs. This project uses basic stitches to form SpongeBob’s classic square shape and Patrick’s five-pointed star body. They are the perfect size for keychains, backpack charms, or small gifts for fans.
How to Make Patrick Star & SpongeBob
SpongeBob: Crochet a yellow rectangular body starting with a magic ring of 8 stitches. Shape the “sponge” texture by alternating single crochets and 3-stitch increases to form corners. Add small circular white eyes and rosy cheeks using safety eyes and felt or yarn.
Patrick Star: Work a pink star shape beginning with a 5-stitch magic ring, then expand into five points using a combination of half-double, double, and treble crochets. Finish with an oval white eye piece and black embroidery for the pupils and brows.

Brighten up your day with this colorful, multi-segmented caterpillar. By crocheting several small spheres and joining them together, you can customize the length and colors of your garden friend. It’s a great way to use up leftover yarn and makes a cheerful accessory or desk pet.
How to Make the Caterpillar
To make this colorful caterpillar, crochet a series of spherical segments (a head, multiple body sections, and a tail).
Head: Start with 7 stitches, increasing to shape the face, and include two small antennae worked directly into the rounds using chains and half-double crochets.
Body & Tail: Crochet five or six slightly smaller body balls and one tapered tail piece. Stuff each segment firmly and sew them together in a line, alternating colors for a vibrant look. Finish with safety eyes and a small stitched-on smile.

How to Make the Baby Turtle
Turtle Shell: Crochet a dome-shaped shell starting with 6 stitches in a magic ring. Create a decorative pattern by alternating between dark and light pink yarn in rounds 4 through 8. In round 9, work only into the front loops to create a raised edge for the shell’s rim.
Belly & Limbs: Attach skin-colored yarn to the back loops of the shell to crochet the flat belly, stuffing it with cotton before closing. Make five identical tiny spheres for the head, four flippers, and tail, then sew them symmetrically around the body.

How to Make the Squid Keychain
Body & Fins: Using purple yarn, crochet a conical body that widens at the middle and narrows again at the bottom. To form the fins, skip four stitches on each side during round 6 to create small protruding flaps.
Tentacles & Face: At the bottom of the body, work a round of eight tentacles by chaining seven and slip-stitching back down each chain. Finish by crocheting two small white circles for eyes, embroidering black pupils, and gluing them to the front of the cone.
