1. Introduction
The Clefairy amigurumi is part of the popular Pokemon series, known for its adorable characters. With its signature curl on its head and cute oval eyes, Clefairy makes for a delightful crochet project. By following this tutorial, you will learn how to create the body, head, arms, legs, ears, tail, and wings of the Clefairy.

2. Materials Needed
To make your crochet Clefairy amigurumi, you will need the following materials:
- Pink yarn for the body
- Dark brown yarn for the ears
- Pink and black felt for the eyes
- Crochet hook
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Stitch markers
3. Body Construction
Rounds 1-4: Creating the Body
To start, create a slip knot with the pink yarn and make a chain of two. Into the first chain, make six single crochet stitches to form a circle. Use a stitch marker to mark the end of the last stitch. In round two, make two single crochet stitches in each stitch around, resulting in a total of twelve stitches. Continue this pattern for rounds three and four, increasing the stitch count to eighteen and twenty respectively.
Rounds 5-10: Shaping the Body
For rounds five to ten, maintain a stitch count of twenty by making one single crochet stitch in each stitch around.
Rounds 11-12: Decreasing the Body
In round eleven, make a single crochet decrease stitch, followed by eight single crochet stitches. Repeat this pattern once and then complete the round with a single crochet in the remaining stitches. Round twelve consists of one decrease stitch and one single crochet stitch repeated throughout. By the end of round twelve, you should have twelve single crochet stitches.
4. Head Construction
Creating the Head Curl
To make the Clefairy's head curl, crochet six single crochet stitches into a magic ring. Maintain this stitch count for rounds two to ten, creating a spiral shape. Cut a long tail and fasten off.
Attaching the Head Curl to the Body
Use the long tail from the head curl to sew it onto the top of the Clefairy's body. Position the curl in the center of the body and secure it tightly. This will give the Clefairy its distinctive appearance.
5. Arm Construction
To create the arms, crochet four single crochet stitches into a magic ring. In round two, make two single crochet stitches in the first stitch, followed by one single crochet stitch in each of the next three stitches. Slip stitch to fasten off and repeat this process to make two arms.
6. Leg Construction
For the legs, crochet six single crochet stitches into a magic ring. In round two, work through the back loop only. Continue with one single crochet in each stitch for the rest of the rounds. Slip stitch to fasten off and make two legs.
7. Ear Construction
Using dark brown yarn, crochet four single crochet stitches into a magic ring. In round two, make two single crochet stitches in the first stitch, followed by one single crochet stitch in each of the next three stitches. Change to pink yarn and continue the pattern for rounds three and four. Slip stitch to fasten off and create two ears.
8. Tail Construction
To make the tail, crochet six single crochet stitches into a magic ring. Proceed to crochet one single crochet in each stitch for the remaining rounds, forming a spiral shape. Cut a long tail, roll the tail into a spiral, and sew it together using the yarn needle.
9. Wing Construction
Crochet four single crochet stitches into a magic ring. In round two, make two half double crochet stitches, followed by chain two and a slip stitch into the same stitch. Repeat this pattern once and slip stitch to fasten off. Create two wings.
10. Finishing Touches
To complete the Clefairy, cut small oval shapes from black felt for the eyes and pink felt for the inner part of the eyes. Attach the felt pieces to the head using glue. Finally, assemble all the parts together, including the body, head, arms, legs, ears, tail, and wings.
