Ami Jumbo Sushi Ikura/Salmon Roe Crochet Pattern
What Is Being Made
This downloadable PDF pattern by pawpaw provides instructions for crocheting a jumbo-sized amigurumi sushi piece featuring ikura (salmon roe). The finished toy measures approximately 21cm (8.3 inches) in length and 18cm (7.1 inches) in height, making it a substantial decorative or play piece. The design captures the distinctive appearance of salmon roe sushi with detailed color work and dimensional shaping.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
The pattern employs fundamental amigurumi construction techniques suitable for intermediate crocheters. The sushi is built using single crochet stitches worked through back loops only, a technique that creates a dense, structured fabric ideal for stuffed toys. The crocheter will work in continuous rounds to build the three-dimensional form, using 2 single crochet together decreases to shape and contour the piece. The pattern utilizes slip stitches for joining and chain stitches for foundational work. A key construction note suggests assembling and attaching details such as eyes before stuffing the ikura component, allowing for easier placement and secure finishing.
Stitches Used
- Single crochet (sc): The primary stitch throughout the pattern, worked through back loops only for texture and structure
- 2 single crochet together (2sctog): A decrease stitch for shaping and reducing stitch counts
- Slip stitch (sl st): Used for joining rounds and securing yarn
- Chain stitch (ch): Foundation stitches for pattern sections
Materials and Yarn Specifications
This pattern calls for a 5mm (H/8) crochet hook paired with DK weight (8 ply) acrylic yarn. The yarn specification is 100g per 310 meters (3.5oz per 339 yards). The designer specifies Panda CARNIVAL 8 ply yarn in the following colors and quantities:

Additional Supplies

Skill Level
This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters with foundational knowledge of basic stitches and amigurumi techniques. The multi-color work and shaping requirements require some experience, though the core stitches remain accessible to those with prior project experience.
