Acknowledgement

By acquiring this pattern, you have helped to ensure that the


dream of a small artisan - to make a living from what I love -

When I thought about making an amigurumi of Xena, I didn't


expect to like the end result so much. And she ended up
becoming one of my favorite amigurumi of all!

I prepared her pattern with a lot of love and care, giving the best of
myself in every little detail. I hope you enjoy weaving this
amigurumi!

the neck.

EXPRESSION
This is where we bring the
amigurumi to life!

The first step is to indent the eyes. This


step is essential for the expression to
be more marked, as it gives depth to
the face. After indenting the eyes, we'll
move on to the embroidery. See the
images below!
Embroider the outer corner of the eyes with light blue thread. Reinforce
the embroidery if you wish. With the white thread, outline the previous
embroidery. To embroider the upper eyeliner, use black thread and
lengthen the end of the embroidery. Use the sewing thread to embroider
the lower eyeliner.

Embroider the eyebrows between rounds 14 and 15, covering 6


stitches. Slightly curve the end downwards. Reinforce the embroidery as
many times as you like. With beige yarn, embroider the nose between
rounds 18 and 19, covering 3 stitches, centered between the eyes.

FURIFURI AMIGURUMI - 2024 - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED 18


HAIR

Xena's hair is made in two layers: there will be two pieces that are exactly
the same, but made separately. Just follow the instructions below twice.

affecting the final result of the amigurumi.

with strands 2 to 9. Using pins, distribute the rest of the strands around
the head and secure them one by one with glue.

Position the second layer in the same way as the first, and also fix the
strands with glue. Flat iron all the strands to make them straight.
