The Prosperity Rat

The Prosperity Rat Amigurumi Crochet Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Prosperity Rat is a finished amigurumi doll measuring 21cm in height, designed by Little Bamboo Handmade (designer TS Min). This crocheted toy features a charming rat character, perfect as a decorative keepsake or gift. The finished size may vary depending on the specific yarn weight and crochet hook size selected during construction.

Craft and Technique

This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. Amigurumi is a Japanese crochet technique that creates three-dimensional stuffed toys and decorative objects through tight, seamless stitching in the round. The pattern is classified as beginner-level difficulty, making it suitable for those new to crochet who wish to learn fundamental amigurumi construction methods.

Stitches and Techniques Used

The pattern employs essential crochet stitches and techniques including:

• Chain stitch (ch) — the foundation stitch used to begin the pattern
• Single crochet (sc) — the primary stitch for building amigurumi structure
• Increase (inc) — stitch 2 times into the next stitch to expand the fabric
• Decrease (dec) — stitch next 2 stitches together to reduce fabric width
• Slip stitch (sl st) — used to join rounds and finish edges seamlessly

These fundamental techniques are worked in continuous rounds to create the three-dimensional form characteristic of amigurumi construction.

Materials Required

The pattern calls for the following materials:

• 4-ply acrylic yarn in multiple colors: grey, black, red, pink, and golden yellow
• Crochet hook size 2mm — a small hook appropriate for tight, detailed stitching
• Fiberfill or cotton stuffing — for filling the completed amigurumi form
• Black eye beads measuring 13mm — for facial features
• Wire — for internal structure and poseable elements
• Glue — for securing embellishments and safety features

The 4-ply yarn weight (also known as sport weight) provides the appropriate thickness for working with a 2mm hook, creating tight, even stitches essential to amigurumi construction.
