Hi there!
The first game I ever played for the Nintendo GameCube was Pikmin and it was so much fun. I still play it to this day! In honor of my first video game, I decided to design an amigurumi Pikmin pattern.
Use this free amigurumi pattern to crochet your own adorable Pikmin. Currently, the crochet pattern is only available to make the red & yellow versions. More colors are on the way!

Red Pikmin
Red Pikmin is strong in numbers and resistant to fire. These are the first species you encounter in the game on Day 1. Their distinguishable feature is their pointy nose. The Red Pikmin plushie is completely poseable as pipe cleaners are used in the limbs. Because of this, I’ve decided that this crochet pattern requires an expert skill level. The pattern will be difficult for beginners, but you are welcome to try it! The finished red Pikmin amigurumi is approximately 12" tall by 4” wide.

Yellow Pikmin
Yellow Pikmin are the second type you discover in the game and arguably the best out of the 3 in the original game. They are resistant to electricity and have an increased throw height due to their elf-like ears, and the ability to carry and throw bomb rocks to take out obstacles. This plushie is completely poseable as pipe cleaners are used in the limbs. Because of this, I’ve decided that this crochet pattern requires an expert skill level. The yellow Pikmin crochet pattern will be difficult for beginners, but you are welcome to try it! The finished yellow Pikmin amigurumi is approximately 11" tall by 4” wide.
