Stitch from “Lilo and Stitch” – Free crochet pattern

Free pattern on crocheting Stitch by Tatyana Medvedeva.

Difficulty level: intermediate

According to this description, you can crochet Stitch with a scarf using a crochet technique from the animated film “Lilo & Stitch.” Any cotton yarn is suitable for crocheting amigurumi: YarnArt Jeans, Alize Cotton Gold, Gazzal Baby Cotton, and others. Stitch’s eyes are made from black felt, the spots on the eyes and the nose are crocheted. Finer details on the muzzle (eyebrows and lines above the nose) are embroidered with thin mouline thread.

All parts are crocheted in a spiral, except for the ears and belly; they are crocheted in turned rows. Wireframe is not necessary – the details are sewn at an angle and hold their shape well.

Rnd 2: 6 inc (12)
Rnd 3: (1 sc, inc) x 6 (18)
Rnd 4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
Rnd 5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)

Start stuffing
Rnd 30: (5 sc, dec) x 6 (36)
Rnd 31: (4 sc, dec) x 6 (30)

Finish stuffing. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Where we worked in the back loops, this will be Stitch’s mouth. Consider this when attaching the eyes and nose.

Ears

We’ll crochet two left pieces (pink and blue) and two right pieces (pink and blue). Leave a long tail from the blue piece for edging and joining with the pink piece. Crochet in turned rows (for the right pieces):
Row 1: 8 ch
Row 2: 7 sc, 1 ch
Row 3: inc, 5 sc, inc, 1 ch
Rows 4-6: 3 rows of 9 sc each (don’t forget 1 ch at the end of each row)
Row 7: inc, 7 sc, inc, 1 ch
Rows 8-10: 11 sc (don’t forget 1 ch at the end of each row)
Row 11: inc, 9 sc, inc, 1 ch
Rows 12-17: 13 sc (don’t forget 1 ch at the end of each row)
Row 18: Create the slit for the ear: 8 sc, 6 ch, turn the work
Crochet in the next stitch from the hook: 5 sc in the chain, 8 sc along the edge of the ear.
Rows 19-20: 13 sc (don’t forget 1 ch at the end of each row)
Row 21: dec, 11 sc, 1 ch
Row 22: 12 sc, 1 ch
Row 23: dec, 10 sc, 1 ch
Row 24: 11 sc, 1 ch
Row 25: dec, 9 sc, 1 ch
Row 26: 10 sc, 1 ch
Row 27: dec, 6 sc, dec, 1 ch
Row 28: 8 sc, 1 ch
Row 29: dec, 4 sc, dec, 1 ch
Row 30: dec, 2 sc, dec, 1 ch
Row 31: 2 sc, dec

Fasten off the pink pieces and cut the yarn, leave longer tails for joining the blue pieces together (edging).

Crochet the left pieces the same until row 18: 13 sc. Then in row 19, work: 8 sc, 6 ch, and continue following the pattern!

This is done to ensure symmetric ears.

After crocheting all the pieces, take the blue piece and start joining it with the pink one. Just edge around in a circle. Join the left pieces together and the right pieces together. When edging, fold the ears in half, as shown in the last photo, and edge together with approximately 5-6 sc.

Continue edging one unworked side, and finish the top of the ear.

Eye Patches (2 pieces)

Crochet with light-blue yarn, in turned rows. Left piece:
Row 1: 6 ch
Row 2: inc, 3 sc, inc, 1 ch (7)
Row 3: inc, 6 sc, 1 ch (8)
Row 4: 7 sc, inc, 1 ch (9)
Row 5: dec, 7 sc, 1 ch (8)
Row 6: 6 sc, dec, 1 ch (7)
Rows 7-9: Three rows of 7 sc, 1 ch
Row 10: 5 sc, dec, 1 ch
Row 11: dec, 4 sc, 1 ch
Row 12: 3 sc, dec

Make 1 ch and edge entirely around the piece.

Crochet the left piece in the same way until row 4, then swap decreases and single crochets, for instance, in row 5 crochet: 7 sc, dec, 1 ch, and so on. Finish off the piece similarly at the end.

Nose

Crochet with dark blue yarn, in turned rows:
Row 1: 4 ch
Row 2: inc, 1 sc, inc, 1 ch
Row 3: 5 sc, 1 ch

Scarf

Crochet using mint green color, in rows:

Chain 120

Crochet the scarf with half-double crochets, with yarn overs, making 4-5 increases in the last and first stitches of each row (to create a more rounded and aesthetic transition to the next row).

Finishing Stitch’s Muzzle

• Secure the nose with pins, ensuring it’s centered.
• Approximately 2 single crochets away from the nose, attach eye patches. Place previously cut felt eyes on them to check the eye size.
• If everything aligns, sew the patches and nose.
• Now take white yarn (you can use Gazzal Baby Cotton, separating the strands as we’ll embroider with a single thread).
• Attach the eyes again and using a thin needle, embroider white highlights: a large one above and a smaller one below. Make random stitches, anchoring them to Stitch’s head. Embroider the third highlight with light blue yarn. Repeat the same for the second eye.
• Use fabric glue or a glue gun and carefully attach the eyes completely.
• With black embroidery floss, using two strands, embroider the nostrils, folds over the nose, and eyebrows.
• At this stage, attach the head and then the ears.
• Sew the ears, leaving 1 single crochet from the eye patches. The tip of the ear should align with the color transition line.
• I attached them only at the front, where the ears join together.
• Attach the belly, arms (with larger fingers facing forward), tie the scarf, and Stitch is ready!
