Two-Hour Tauntaun: Free Amigurumi Pattern

             

Remember Star Wars? When Luke gets shoved inside a dead animal? That animal is a tauntaun!

My brother and my dad love star wars so when my brother started having kids he told them to call my dad tauntaun. Now it's his grandpa name.

This year I needed a fast fathers day gift. Thus, the two hour tauntaun was born! He works up so quickly because you use a G hook and two yarns held together.

My friend Dwight told me that limitations give rise to creativity. That kept ringing in my head as I made this.  

Materials:

White worsted yarn

Grey worsted yarn

Tan worsted yarn

Brown Worsted yarn

F Hook – 3.75 mm

G Hook – 4.25 mm

Small amount of stuffing

2 6mm Safety Eyes

Snout

G hook, white and grey held together

Body

Stuff as you go!

R2: 2 sc in each st around (8)

R3-6: Sc in ea st around (8)

Place a piece of yarn in the 2^nd st from the hook at this point. This marks the top of the tauntaun

This will also be the best time to sew on the snout and attach the safety eyes

R4: (2sc, sc 2) around (24)

R5: Sc 3, ch 1, turn

R6-when it wraps around the tauntaun: Sc 3, ch 1, turn

Join with slip stitches to the other side of the saddle while it’s wrapped around the tauntaun.

Putting it together:

The most time consuming part is the sewing because there are a lot of pieces.

Sew the right and left legs on. You want to make a tripod with the feet and tail so that he can stand. Sew the arms on in front. The ears go on top and the horns on the side of the head. The saddle should go on last.

Congratulations! It’s guaranteed to smell better than Hans tauntaun or your money back.

 

 

I think he's kinda cute :)
