Onigiri · one-piece chenille amigurumi · PDF in EN / FR / DE / ES

A rice ball in one piece — the nori is a colour block plus a surface band, the hands bobbles, and nothing is sewn on.

What Is It?

Seven increase rounds open a 42-stitch white dome; Rows 8–12 work a 10-stitch nori block with two hand bobbles in Row 12, Row 13 stays straight and six decrease rounds close the flat base. A surface slip-stitch band in nori wraps Row 13, and the top is pinched into a soft triangle.

Why 'No-Sew'?

Because the whole toy is one continuous piece:

• One white dome with nori block and hand bobbles, closed flat
• Surface slip-stitch nori band picked up from the stitches — zero sewing
• kawaii food lover gift, 19 rounds

No tapestry-needle assembly, no lopsided parts.

What Do I Need?

• Super Bulky / Category 6 chenille yarn — rice white, nori green, charcoal, blush pink
• 3.5 mm hook, fiberfill, stitch marker
• 8 mm safety eyes (embroidered-eye option included for children under 3)

How Big, How Hard?

10.0 cm / 3.9 in tall · 19 rounds · confident beginner — single crochet, increases, decreases and a few tall stitches, all explained with photos.
