Amigurumi Lego Minifigure

My son loves Lego. I love Lego. I was unable to find a pattern for a Lego Minifigure so I created one on my own and wrote out the pattern.  I thought even a rough pattern would be helpful to someone looking for one rather than no pattern. I'm not saying this is the best way or the fastest way to make a Lego minifigure, but it is the way I made one and just to throw a kink into it, and as full warning, I have to tell you that I have never written out a crochet pattern before...).

Materials:
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn - Cherry Red
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn - Lemon (yellow)
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn - Royal (blue)
Red Heart Super Saver Yarn - Black
Hook H/8 - 5.00 mm
4 12mm safety eyes (two will be used for the eyes and two will be used for the arm/shoulder joints)
Blunt tipped yarn needle to stitch pieces together
Plastic Canvas
Poly-fill or other stuffing

Terminology
MR - Magic Ring
SC - Single Crochet
SL - Slip Stitch
BL - Back Loop
FL - Front Loop
sc2tog - decrease
invdec - Invisible Decrease (can also use sc2tog instead)
2SC - 2 single crochet stitches in one stitch
FO - Finish Off

Step 1: Lego Minifigure Head

Stitch through both loops unless otherwise directed

3. (2st, SC) 6 times (18)
4. (2st, SC, SC) 6 times (24)
5. (Optional. This puts a small rim around the top knob of the Lego head. If skipping, move on to round 6) in FL only, SL in each (24)
6. In BL only of round 4, SC in each (24)
7. SC in each (24)
8. In FL only (2st, SC, SC, SC) 6 times (30)

10. (2st, SC, SC, SC, SC, SC) 6 times (42)
11. In BL only, SC in each (42)

13-23. SC in each (48)
24. In BL only, (sc2tog, SC) 16 times (32)
25.In both loops, (sc2tog, SC) 10 times then sc2tog (21)
26. In FL only, SC in each (21)
27 - 28. SC in each (21)
SL in next stitch (this last stitch will mark the back of the head). FO leaving a long yarn tail to attach head to body.

Attach Safety Eyes to the head: on the front of the head (opposite the yarn tail) place the eyes just above the middle of the head (between rows 14 and 15) and in line with the outer edges of the top knob. Mine had 5 stitches between each eye. I recommend positioning both eyes BEFORE securing the backs to them.

Use your yarn needle and black yarn to stitch a smile on. Then firmly stuff with poly-fill.
