Crochet Sanrio Bouquets Tutorial Features
Skill Level: Intermediate. The project starts with foundation chains for the crochet flowers and a magic ring for the characters and bouquet base. Stitches used include single crochet for the main body of the pieces, increase and invisible decrease, and half double crochet and slip stitch for creating details like leaves.
The tutorial also uses an invisible join to create a seamless connection between stitches, as well as working in the back loop only and front loop only to create decorative textures.
Tutorial Timing: Approximately 33 Minutes Only. (perfect example of custom amigurumi to learn how to design your amigurumi and modify it in different ways. The Sanrio tutorial is worth watching since so many techniques can be learnt.)
Personalization Tips: Challenge yourself by crocheting this Sanrio bouquet for Keroppi, since it will require only changing the bouquet color and making Keroppi’s head.
Pattern Type: An on-screen written pattern is available if you find written instructions easy to follow along with. English instructions are available.

Techniques Used
The following are the crochet techniques that the tutor will use for crocheting this Sanrio bouquet:
- Magic Ring (MR): Wrap yarn into a loop, insert the hook, yarn over, pull through, and start crocheting into the adjustable ring.
- Single Crochet (SC): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
- Increase (INC): Crochet two single crochets into the same stitch to increase the stitch count.
- Decrease (DEC): Use an invisible decrease by inserting the hook into the front loop of two stitches, yarn over, pull through both front loops, then yarn over and pull through remaining loops.
- Slip Stitch (SL ST): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both the stitch and the loop on the hook.
- Half Double Crochet (HDC): Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over again, pull up a loop, then yarn over and pull through all three loops.
- Double Crochet (DC): Yarn over, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, pull through two loops, and repeat to finish.
- Working in Back Loop Only (BLO): Insert the hook into the back loop of the stitch only, rather than through both loops.
- Spiral Crochet: Use continuous rounds without joining at the end of each round to create a smooth spiral pattern.
- Adding Beads: String the beads onto the yarn, position them on the appropriate stitch, and secure them as part of the crocheted piece.
