Charlie Brown Amigurumi Pattern
My co-worker wanted me to make him Charlie Brown after seeing my other creations. It was a bit challenging to make this character since I grew up watching Peanuts and wanted to make Charlie Brown perfect. I must have reworked this little doll 20 times before he was right. Unless otherwise stated, work in continuous rounds. Also, I assume that you have basic knowledge in crotchet. If not there are many tutorials on YouTube. Good luck!

For the hand, sew 3 of the fingers together by taking the yarn tail from the first finger and weaving it through 2 stitches on both first and second finger. Ensure that the yarn tail of the second finger is on the opposite side of this. Take the yarn tail of the second finger and weave it through 2 stitches on both the second and third finger. Ensure that the yarn tail of the third finger is on the opposite side of this. Take the yarn tail of the third finger and weave it through 2 stitches on both the third and fourth finger. Ensure that the point where the yarn is attached is opposite to this. Stuff all four of the fingers firmly. Use the connected yarn to continue forming the hand.

Assembly:
1） Attach the head to the body with the tail from the head. 1 just weaved in and out of each piece with the tail. Ensure the neck is in the bottom centre of the head. Firmly stuff the neck before completely sewing openings close to ensure it can support the weight of the head.
2) Sew the nose and ears with the yarn tails as positioned in the above photo. Ensure that these appendages are centered with the collar. 3) Using black yarn to embroider the eyes, eyebrows mouth and hair.
4) Attach the arms to the body with the tails from each piece. I used a whip stitch again. Pin all the limbs in the desired position before attaching. Ensure to squish down the top of the arm to shape the shoulder. 5) Attach the thumb to the hand. Ensure the thumbs are pointing forward in comparison to the body and slightly lower than all the other fingers.

6) Attach the legs of the shorts to the bottom of the body. Use the front loops in Rnd 11 as a guide to position the legs of the shorts so that they cover the entire bottom. 7） Attach the bottom of the legs (i.e. the yellow part) to the shoes with the tail. Using black yarn embroider on the shoelaces. I simply weaved the black yarn through the shoe and tied a bow at the top. Stuff the legs.
8) Attach the top part of the leg (i.e. flesh tone part) to bottom of the body with the tail. Centre the legs in the legs of the shorts. You may need to roll up the legs of the shorts. Ensure to firmly stuff the legs before closing up any openings.
9) Create the zig-zag pattern on the sweater. I accomplished this by chaining on the surface of the body with black yarn to create the outlines for the zig-zag. Basically I made 6 zigzags. The bottom points are 10 stitches apart while the top points are 7 stitches apart. The zig-zag itself is 2 stitches wide. Then I needle felted on black felt to fill in the line. If you don't want to needle felt simply cut a zig-zag out of black felt and sew it to the sweater. old the collar to position it. This may require blocking

Notes: The bottom is not flat. I tried to make a flat bottom by doing the back loop only stitch but instead it helped to create the outline required to attach the shorts. Also, I embroidered the hair directly to the head. You can create a loose loop for the hair similar to how it looks in the comics.
