Introduction

In this tutorial, we will be making Asta de los Toros Negros crochet amigurumis. These adorable figures require a few materials and some basic crochet skills. We will guide you step by step to create your own Asta figure, complete with its signature features. So let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before diving into the crochet process, let's gather all the materials we need. For this project, you will require the following:

• Skin-colored cotton thread
• Grey, blue, white, brown, and black cotton thread
• Black scarves for the cape and headband
• Gold thread for embroidery
• Fleece, needle number 0, scissors, and glue (optional)

Making the Arms

To begin, we will start by creating the arms. We will use the skin-colored or beige thread for this part. Follow these steps:

1. Round 1: Make a magic ring and crochet 6 single crochet stitches into it. Close the ring and the round.
2. Round 2: Crochet 2 single crochets in each stitch, resulting in a total of 8 stitches.
3. Rounds 3-6: Crochet 8 single crochets in each round. Finish round 6, close, and cut the thread.

Making the Legs

Now let's move on to crafting the legs. Follow the steps below:

1. Leg 1: Start by using black thread to create a magic ring. Crochet 6 single crochets into the ring.
2. Round 2: Crochet 6 increases, leading to a total of 12 stitches.
3. Round 3: Crochet 1 single crochet, followed by an increase, repeating this pattern 6 times. You will have a total of 18 stitches.
4. Round 4: Crochet 18 single crochets using back loops only.
5. Round 5: Crochet 3 single crochets, followed by a decrease. Change the thread color to white and crochet 4 stitches. For the last decrease, switch back to black thread and crochet 1 decrease and 3 stitches. Close the round by making a slip stitch, knot the thread, and cut it.
6. Round 6: Continue working with the black thread and crochet 12 single crochets.
7. Round 7: Join with a slip stitch using skin-colored or beige thread, then crochet 12 single crochets.

9. Round 10: Join blue thread with a slip stitch and crochet 12 single crochets.
10. Rounds 11-12: Crochet 12 single crochets in each round.
11. Round 13: Join both legs by crocheting a total of 24 single crochets. Make sure both legs are facing forward or to the side.
12. Round 14: Crochet 3 single crochets, followed by an increase 6 times. This will give you a total of 30 stitches. Finish the round, close, and cut the thread.

1. Round 15: Join with a slip stitch using white thread and crochet 30 single crochets.
2. Round 16: Crochet 30 single crochets using back loops only.
