After I posted the Van BT21 plush crochet pattern I received a lot of positive feedback and a lot of requests to make the other characters so I will be posting the rest of the BT21 characters crochet patterns! My plan is to post one BT21 pattern a month so please be patient with me as I slowly release each pattern. I create all my patterns on my own and creating a pattern, testing it, writing in down, is a lengthy process. Anyways, the first request I got was to create a Chimmy plush so I made him next.
Chimmy was created by Jimin from BTS. “Born with passion and tries hard at everything.” Chimmy is a black and white dog who wears a yellow hoodie.
Chimmy’s head was the trickiest part to make. Instead of crocheting one round piece I crocheted two pieces and sewed them together which you can’t really tell when sewn together and that’s exactly what I wanted! Overall I’m happy with the finished project and hope that you create a Chimmy of your own!
If you crochet this project, you can post it on Ravelry or tag me @mooeyscrochet so that I can see your creation. If you want to learn how to crochet, watch my crochet how-to video here. If you would like to support me for making this crochet pattern available for free, you can buy me a Ko-fi. Check out all of my free crochet patterns here and my shop to see my original crocheted items.

Create Chimmy’s face with black felt cut out two eyes, a nose, and mouth. With pink felt cut out a tongue. Glue the black felt piece over the pink felt piece. Use a black marker to make the line on the tongue. Glue the face down on the center of the white circle and press down lightly to secure.
Time to sew everything. Attach the arms to the side of the Chimmy’s body. Sew the ears on top of his head and finally sew his head to his body.

Michelle V says
I'm glad you love it! Let me know if you have any problems with the pattern. Tag me on Twitter or Instagram when you finish your plush I would love to see your how your Chimmy comes out! ♥
Unknown says
Can you do Koya next? He's one of my favorites!
Michelle V says
I already have two of the other characters planned but after that I'll make Koya. ♥
Unknown says
Thank you for the pattern. But i'm having a problem with the head. In row 4, how do i single crochet 2 times in one stitch ×12 and end up with 36 stiches?
Michelle says
It's a typo but I fixed it. It should be, sc 2 sts in one st, sc 1 st (x12) and end up with 36 sts. Sorry for the confusion. Thank you ♥
Gisselle says
How tall is the final result?
Michelle V says
Mine came out to 6 1/2 inches. ♥
Anonymous says
The ears would only be 3 rounds as written? They look like they're at least 9 rounds?
Michelle V says
It is 9 rounds. 8 of the rounds you are sc 8 sts and the last round is the dec round. ♥

Love ❤❤❤

How to start with the chimmy body??….because it's mentioned Sc8, Sc FLO, ..do we start with the magic circle and Sc 20 and then continue as you have mentioned? ?
Michelle V says
To make Chimmy's body, you are going to have your hook still attached to one of his legs. Then, ch 2 and slst to the other leg and sc all around both legs to get a total of 20 sts. I hope that helps. ♥

You're supposed to Dec 1 st, sc 1 st until you have 10 sts left and stuff lightly as you go. Hopefully, that makes sense. Let me know if you have any problems. ♥
