Fully-equipped to fight at pocket-size: Amigurumi Spartan. This ancient Greek’s pride has a size of about 7.5 cm. For the equipment and clothing, I recommend to use thin yarn, such as a Diana size 10. In case you want to use a yarn at a larger weight for the entire crochet Spartan, you should skip the skirt to avoid a too bulky look.
What do you need:
- a skin coloured yarn at a recommended hook size of 2.0-3.0 (e.g. Cotone or Cotone fine) for the body; use a hook size of 2.0 mm to create a dense pattern
- a red coloured yarn similar to above for the Spartan cape
- a dark brown coloured yarn of weight lace (e.g. Diana 10) for the shield, helmet and loincloth; use a slightly brighter yarn for the skirt and a hook size of 1.4 mm or less for these equipment (I used a hook of 1.25 mm)
- a little piece of grey-coloured felt for the sword
- a pair of safety eyes at 6 mm
- a scissor
- some wadding
- a fine darning needle
Skill level: intermediate
