Tripet

Tripet Crochet Toy Pattern by Jessie Rayot

What Is Being Made

Tripet is an intermediate-level crochet toy designed by Jessie Rayot. This cheerful monster stands 20 inches tall and is constructed as a three-dimensional stuffed amigurumi-style creature. The pattern is ideal for crafters looking to create a playful, huggable toy with personality and dimension.

Yarn and Materials

This project uses Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie yarn in an aran weight. The pattern requires 2 skeins of the primary body color and 1 skein each of 5 additional colors for details and features. Beyond yarn, you will need a US G/6 (4.0 mm) crochet hook, a yarn needle for finishing, removable stitch markers, straight pins for assembly, poly pellets for weighted stuffing, and poly fil for general filling.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

The Tripet pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate skill levels. The primary construction method uses single crochet, which creates a dense, sturdy fabric ideal for stuffed toys. The pattern incorporates single crochet two together (sc2tog) for shaping and decreasing stitches to form the monster's contours and features.

Additional techniques include:

• Chain (ch) – used for foundation rows and creating openings
• Slip stitch (sl st) – employed for joining rounds and securing stitches
• Stitch markers and space management – removable stitch markers track your position within rounds, while the pattern uses spaces (sp) to indicate gaps or intentional openings in the fabric

The gauge is set at 18 stitches by 18 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet, ensuring the finished toy reaches the intended 20-inch height and maintains proper density for stuffing.
