Crochet Pattern – Step by Step

Now the fun begins! Here’s how to crochet your own Kawaii Blue Capoo Amigurumi — each part is easy and fun, even for beginners.

 1. The Body

Start with a magic ring using blue yarn.

1. Round 1: Make 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.

2. Round 2: Increase in each stitch (12 sc).

3. Round 3: 1 sc, inc around (18 sc).

4. Round 4: 2 sc, inc around (24 sc).

Continue increasing until the shape starts to form a soft oval. Then, crochet several rounds without increasing to build the body’s length.

Tip: Capoo’s body is chubby don’t make it too flat! Gently stuff as you go to keep it round and plush.

When I first made Capoo, I couldn’t stop smiling at how cute his body looked even before the legs were attached like a happy blue jellybean!

 2. Legs (Make 6)

Capoo has six adorable stubby legs three on each side.

1. Magic ring with 6 sc.

2. Crochet 2–3 more rounds without increasing.

3. Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Stuff lightly and sew them evenly at the bottom of the body spaced like a bug’s little legs.

Pro Tip: Use pins to mark placement before sewing it helps keep them symmetrical!

 3. Ears

Capoo’s cat-like ears give him his signature charm.

1. Chain 4.

2. Single crochet along the chain to form a tiny triangle.

3. Fasten off and leave a tail for attaching.

Sew the ears to the top corners of the head area, angled slightly outward for that playful look.

When I placed mine a little off-center, it made Capoo look extra mischievous — and I loved it!

 4. Face

This is where Capoo comes alive!

• Insert safety eyes or embroider black eyes about 1 cm apart.

• Stitch a small smile using black yarn or embroidery thread.

• Optional: Add pink blush circles under the eyes using pink yarn or blush powder.

Expression Tip:
If you angle the smile slightly to one side, Capoo looks cheeky. A centered smile makes him look innocent. Both are adorable!

 5. Tail

Create a small round bump or tiny oval to represent Capoo’s bug-like tail.

1. Magic ring, 6 sc.

2. 1 sc, inc around.

3. Crochet one round without increasing.

4. Stuff lightly and sew it at the back of the body.

When finished, Capoo looks like a tiny blue bean with legs and a silly grin absolutely irresistible!

Finishing & Assembly Tips

When you’ve crocheted all the parts, it’s time to assemble everything neatly.

•  Sew all parts securely and symmetrically.

• Stuff evenly to maintain shape.

• Weave in all yarn ends cleanly — invisible finishing makes a big difference!

•  For toddlers, embroider the eyes instead of using safety eyes.

•  Optional: Attach a keychain ring or suction hook for display.

•  If gifting, wrap your Capoo in clear packaging with ribbons — adorable presentation matters!

When I finished sewing mine, I gave him a gentle squish — and he instantly became my favorite desk companion!

 Crochet Care & Maintenance

Keep your handmade Capoo clean and soft with these simple care tips:

•  Hand wash gently with mild soap and cold water.

•  Air dry naturally in a shaded area.

•  Avoid twisting or machine washing.

•  Reshape gently while damp.

•  Keep away from pets or rough play (they might think it’s a toy!).

•  Optional: Spray lightly with lavender or linen mist for freshness.

These little care habits will help your Capoo stay fluffy, bright, and huggable for years.
