Introducing Chunky Uncle Sam a cute amigurumi character complete with hat, bow tie and jacket.

The finished toy makes a perfect gift for Independence Day. I have provided detailed instructions and photos, making it easy to follow for intermediate or adventurous advanced beginner crocheters. You can use most yarn types with this pattern - lightweight cotton creates a smaller decoration, whilst chunky plush yarn will give you a larger, cuddly doll.

PATTERN DETAILS
No-sew body base starts at the bottom of the feet and works up to the top of the head as a single piece, crocheting in the arms
Sewing required to attach ears, bowtie, hair and hat
Approx. 25cm tall with DK yarn and 2.5mm hook, 40cm tall with chunky yarn and 4mm hook
Mix and match with my other Chunky and Pig patterns. For example, make yourself an hippo Uncle Sam by using Dottie the Chunky Hippo to modify this pattern

SKILL LEVEL
Intermediate - mostly simple stitches with a few more advance techniques/stitches, a little sewing, some front loop only stitches and a few colour changes.

Feel free to explore variations by swapping out yarn and hook sizes to achieve a different outcome, and get creative with experimenting with various colours.
