Sushi Go Amigurumi Crochet Patterns: Maki Roll, Tempura, and Dumpling (Part One)

Sushi Go Amigurumi Crochet Patterns: Maki Roll, Tempura, and Dumpling (Part One)

Released back in 2013 Sushi Go has become one of my favorite card games of all time (check out our review). What is so great about the game is the fact that the game is so easy to play and yet has a lot more strategy than you would expect. Other than the gameplay, another thing that stands out about the game is the great art design. The game does such a great job creating cute characters out of food items. Because I love the game so much I decided to make amigurumis of the different characters from the game. With how many characters are included in the game, this will be broken down into three parts which will be released over the next couple weeks. Check out part two where I have patterns for the Wasabi, Egg Nigiri, Salmon Nigiri, and Squid Nigiri. In part three I include patterns for the Chopsticks, Pudding and Sashimi.

These patterns create a Maki Roll, Tempura, and Dumpling amigurumis.  The Maki Roll is around two inches tall and approximately two and a half inches wide. The Tempura is approximately six inches tall. The Dumpling is approximately three and a half inches tall and four and a half inches wide.

Note: This pattern is provided for free so I would appreciate that it not be used for commercial use. You may not copy this pattern and then try to sell it. I would appreciate that this pattern not be copied and posted in its’ entirety on other websites. Feel free to post images of your completed works wherever you want but a link back to this page would be appreciated.
