Sometimes the silliest crochet projects are the ones people remember most, and Emotional Support Oh Poo definitely falls into that category. This quirky little amigurumi pattern is equal parts gag gift and oddly adorable desk buddy, which is probably why it has stuck around as one of those classic CraftBits novelty makes. The finished piece is about 5 inches tall and uses worsted weight yarn with a 4.00 mm hook, so it is a small, manageable project that does not need a huge yarn commitment.
The shaping is worked in rounds, then finished with simple facial details like felt accents and wiggly eyes, giving it a lot of personality without being overly complicated. It is the kind of project that would be fun for a joke gift, a potty-training helper, or just something ridiculous to make your crochet group laugh. The page itself even describes it as a cute addition to a toy collection and a unique gift.
This one is best suited to crocheters who are comfortable reading classic pattern shorthand, but it is still a fairly quick amigurumi make overall. If you love unusual softies, it would pair nicely in a roundup with the Emotional Support Ollivander Octopus, the Crochet Siamese Cat, or the decorative Amigurumi Geisha Doll.
