My Crochet Bigfoot Amigurumi is a free pattern here on my blog! This quick crochet pattern is an excellent gift idea for any Bigfoot fan in your life. Keep scrolling for the free pattern and video tutorial!
I'm excited to share my free crochet pattern for this adorable little Bigfoot amigurumi! He is the cutest companion and a quick crochet project!
Using simple stitches, this free pattern is beginner to intermediate level amigurumi. It's comprised of the body, arms, and head which are stuffed and stitched together using a tapestry needle. His furry hair is created by brushing the yarn out and his bag is crocheted separately. The finished crochet Bigfoot measures approximately 8" tall. You could easily increase the yarn weight and hook size to make a larger version if you'd like!

I chose medium (4) worsted weight yarn for my crochet Bigfoot design. I enjoy working with worsted weight yarn in most of my projects since it's affordable, versatile, durable and abundantly available in most local craft stores. You could easily substitute for another worsted weight yarn as long as the ounces per gram are similar.
For this tutorial, I'm using the following yarn:
Red Heart Super Saver, Medium 4, 7 oz / 198 g. in the color Café Latte
Red Heart Super Saver, Medium 4, 7 oz / 198 g. in the color Coffee
Yarn Bee Yarn ID, Medium 4, 5 oz / 252 yd in the color Oats
For the light beige/cream on his bag, I think Red Heart Super Saver in the color Buff would be a good substitute as well.

Using a tapestry needle, stitch 'vertical dashes' onto the strap of the bag.
This step is optional, but is so much fun and adds character! This was my first adventure creating amigurumi hair, so I started on the backside to get the feel for the right brush strokes.
Leaving his bag off, brush vigorously in the direction you want the hair to fall (It was definitely a Goldilocks situation for how hard to brush...not too hard...not too soft...but juuuust right!)
Make sure to cover the eyes and nose so you don't brush them out! I just used my finger to cover them up.
Once you're happy with his hair, place the bag over his shoulder!
