Free Sunglasses Crochet Pattern | For Amigurumi Plushies
This free crochet pattern is for a pair of no-sew sunglasses that fit most Hooked by Kati Amigurumi creatures. The pattern takes about 15-minutes and is accompanied by a video tutorial.
Sunglasses! The perfect accessory for any creature to make them look at least 15 degrees cooler, no matter how hot the summer gets.
I have a few other patterns with sunglasses (including one that yet-to-publish), but I always enjoy adding them to critters for fun photo shoots or to give my amigurumi projects a whole new vibe.
These sunglasses work up really fast — 15 to 20 minutes — and they can be made by any crochet, including beginners. The video tutorial walks you through every stitch, so even those new to amigurumi can follow along easily.

Before You Start This Pattern
This pattern is written for beginners or as an easy project for experienced crocheters. Basic amigurumi skills like working in the round, increasing, and weaving in ends is all you need!
Worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn works best for most amigurumi patterns. Using a smaller hook than recommended will help create tight stitches with fewer gaps.

Kati is a crochet pattern designer, dragon obsessive, and certified geek who has been turning yarn into fantasy creatures since 2016. Her patterns lean heavily toward dragons, fantasy beasts, and whatever her brain decides is a good idea at 2am. She is proudly anti-AI crochet and very pro-finishing-your-WIPs (she’s working on it). When she’s not crocheting something with too many horns, she’s probably watching something nerdy or playing dog agility with her two American Hairless Terriers. Want to work together or just say hi?
