Making a Chainsaw Man Amigurumi: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Introduction

In this tutorial, we will be creating an adorable amigurumi inspired by the character Chainsaw Man. This tutorial is part 2 of the series and will focus on making the helmet or mask, the lower part of the mouth, the saw arms, the body, the handles, and the tongue. By the end of this tutorial, you will have all the components ready to assemble your very own Chainsaw Man amigurumi.

Making the Helmet or Mask

2.1. Upper Part of the Helmet

To start making the helmet, we will use red thread. Create a magic ring and make 6 single crochet stitches in it. Close the magic ring and continue working in rounds.

In the second round, make 6 increases. In the third round, make 1 single crochet stitch, followed by 6 increases. For the fourth round, make 1 single crochet stitch, 1 increase, 2 single crochets, 1 increase, and repeat this pattern 5 times. Finish the round with 1 single crochet stitch.

Continue with the fifth round, where you will make 3 single crochets, followed by 1 increase, repeated 6 times. In the sixth round, make 2 single crochets, 1 increase, 4 single crochets, 1 increase, and repeat this pattern 5 times. Finish the round with 2 single crochets.

On the seventh round, make 5 single crochets, followed by 1 increase, repeated 6 times. For the eighth round, make 3 single crochets, 1 increase, 6 single crochets, 1 increase, and repeat this pattern 5 times. Finish the round with 3 single crochets.

From the ninth round to the twelfth round, make a total of 48 single crochet stitches. Once you finish the twelfth round, close and cut the thread. Pass the leftover thread to the inside of the fabric.

2.2. Lower Part of the Mouth

For the lower part of the mouth, create a magic ring and make 6 single crochet stitches in it. Close the ring and continue with the second round by making 6 increases. In the third round, make 1 single crochet stitch, 1 increase, repeated 6 times. For the fourth round, make 1 single crochet stitch, 1 increase, 2 single crochets, 1 increase, repeated 5 times. Finish with 1 single crochet stitch.

Continue with the fifth round, where you will make 3 single crochets, followed by 1 increase, repeated 6 times. In the sixth round, make 2 single crochets, 1 increase, 4 single crochets, 1 increase, and repeat this pattern 5 times. Finish the round with 2 single crochets.

Once you finish the sixth round, close and cut the thread. Keep the excess thread to the right side. On round 7, fold the fabric in half and join with 18 single crochet stitches. Finish and leave thread to sew after attaching the head.

Creating the Saw Arms

3.1. Light Gray Piece

To make the saw arms, start with light gray thread. Create 11 chains and, from the second chain of the needle, make 9 single crochet stitches. Make 3 single crochet stitches in the last stitch.

Turn and work on the other side of the chain, making 8 single crochet stitches and 1 increase. This will give you a total of 21 single crochet stitches.

3.2. Dark Gray Piece

Continue with dark gray thread and work in rounds for the saw arms. In the second round, make 1 increase, followed by 8 single crochet stitches, 3 increases, 8 single crochet stitches, and 2 increases. This will leave you with a total of 27 stitches.

Once you finish the second round, close and cut the thread. Repeat this process to create another piece. Join the two pieces with dark gray thread.

3.3. Joining the Saw Arms

To join the saw arms, work 2 single crochet stitches and a 3-chain picot stitch around the entire edge using dark gray thread. Repeat this process for the entire round.

Once you finish the round, cut the thread. The saw arms should now be complete with a border. It's important to note that there should be a space in the middle of the saw without any filling. To maintain the shape, insert a piece of plastic within the saw arms.

Forming the Body

4.1. Attaching the Saw Arms to the Head

Using black thread, make a whole round of single crochet stitches around the two parts of the saw arms. When you reach the corner, skip a stitch and make approximately 24 single crochet stitches in the following stitch. Leave thread to sew to the head.

4.2. Adding the Plastic Insert

In this step, insert the plastic piece inside the saw arms to maintain its shape. Make sure the plastic is positioned correctly before proceeding.

Making the Handles

5.1. Bottom Door Handle

To create the bottom door handle, start by making a magic ring. In the first round, make 5 single crochet stitches. Continue working in rounds until the fifteenth round, making 5 single crochet stitches each time. Once you finish the fifteenth round, close and leave thread to sew to the head.

5.2. Top Handle

For the top handle, make 6 single crochet stitches in a magic ring. In the second round, make 5 single crochet stitches and 1 increase. Continue working until the thirtieth round, making 7 single crochet stitches. Close and leave thread to sew to the body.

Crafting the Tongue

To make the tongue, use pink thread. Create 11 chains and make 3 single crochet stitches, 6 single crochet stitches, and 3 single crochet stitches in the last chain. Work on the other side of the chain, making 6 single crochet stitches and 3 single crochet stitches. Close and leave thread to sew to the head.
