Anne R. crocheted this set for her own children, wrote the rounds down by hand, and agreed to let us publish them. The charts below are her patterns, laid out one round per row so you can search them, translate them with your browser, or read a single line and put your hook down.

This page is the character half of a two-part project. The SPRUNKI crochet starting guide covers yarn, hook size, the twenty-character colour chart and how to finish a toy safely. This page is the rounds themselves: a shared body and head, Mr Sun with his rays and his second face, and Mr Tree with his ten side lobes.
Community pattern by Anne R., tested by the maker. The rounds, the assembly order and the photos on this page are Anne's. We edited the wording, put each round into a table and renumbered the parts that repeat; every numerical change is listed in the notes on the source sheets.
Before you start
These are fan patterns, not a licensed product: they are one maker's interpretation of the characters, and the toy you make is yours. If you post photos, the fan art page is where they belong. We have kept Anne's own wording where a line could be read two ways rather than guess for her, and each of those lines is called out below.
Two practical warnings from the set in the photo. The bodies are small, roughly palm-sized, so use a hook that makes a firm fabric — stuffing shows through a loose gauge and the face loses its shape. And the eyes on these toys are crocheted discs, sewn on and outlined with yarn, not plastic eyes: no small parts to come loose. For a toy that goes to a baby or a toddler, follow the safety section in the parent guide as well.
How to read the tables
| Short form | Meaning |
|---|---|
| sc | single crochet (UK: double crochet) |
| inc | two single crochet in the same stitch |
| dec | single crochet two stitches together |
| magic ring | magic circle; the number is the stitches worked into it before pulling closed |
| (… ) ×6 | repeat everything in the brackets six times around the round |
| hdc, dc, ch | half double crochet, double crochet, chain |
Every character in the set starts from the same body and head, and only the ears, the face and the accessories change. That is why the body comes first: crochet it once, then choose a character.
The shared body and head
This is the piece behind most of the set: Wenda, Simon, Oren and the rest. It is worked in one piece from the top of the head down, narrows into a neck at round 15 and opens out again into the body from round 18. Mark the first stitch of every round; by round six the piece is too small to count reliably from the outside.
| Round | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in a magic ring | 6 |
| 2 | (inc) ×6 | 12 |
| 3 | (1 sc, inc) ×6 | 18 |
| 4 | (2 sc, inc) ×6 | 24 |
| 5 | 24 sc in the inside post | 24 |
| 6–7 | 24 sc | 24 |
| 8 | 24 sc — missing from the written sheet; see the notes | 24 |
| 9 | (10 sc, dec) ×2 | 22 |
| 10–11 | 22 sc | 22 |
| 12 | (9 sc, dec) ×2 | 20 |
| 13–14 | 20 sc | 20 |
| 15 | (8 sc, dec) ×2 | 18 |
| 16–17 | 18 sc | 18 |
| 18 | (2 sc, inc) ×6 | 24 |
| 19 | (3 sc, inc) ×6 | 30 |
| 20 | (4 sc, inc) ×6 | 36 |
| 21–27 | 36 sc | 36 |
| 28 | (4 sc, dec) ×6 | 30 |
| 29 | (3 sc, dec) ×6 | 24 |
| 30 | (2 sc, dec) ×6 | 18 |
| 31 | (1 sc, dec) ×6 | 12 |
| 32 | (dec) ×6 | 6 |
| Finish | slip stitch into the next stitch, fasten off | — |
Rounds 1 to 4 make the crown, rounds 5 to 17 make the head and the neck, rounds 18 to 27 make the body, and rounds 28 to 32 close the base. Do not stuff until the base is closed; a palm-sized piece fills unevenly if you stuff as you go.



The eye disc
Each eye is two rounds, black first and white second, then sewn flat to the face. The second round is written as a slip stitch increase, which is Anne's own wording and not a standard term: it makes a slightly denser disc than a normal increase. If the slip stitch tangles in your yarn, work the same round as six ordinary increases — the disc is a few millimetres larger and looks the same once sewn down.
| Round | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in a magic ring — black | 6 |
| 2 | (slip stitch increase) ×6 — white | 12 |

The eyelid
The eyelid is the small half-moon that sits over the top of the eye and gives these characters their half-closed look. It is worked from a three-stitch centre outwards and then around the back.
| Round | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 sc in a magic ring | 3 |
| 2 | chain 1 and turn, increase ×6 | 12 |
| 3 | sc all around the back, then (sc, inc) ×3 around the half circle | — |
Round 3 is written loosely on the source sheet: work single crochet back along the row you just made, then three repeats of single crochet, increase around the curve. The result should be a shallow crescent that covers roughly the top third of the eye disc. Sew the eye down first, then the eyelid over it, then outline the eye in black yarn.


Mr Sun
Mr Sun is a flat disc with eight rays and a face on each side: phase 1 on one side, phase 2 on the other. The body is the same six-increase spiral as the head above, closed at the bottom.
Body
| Round | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in a magic ring | 6 |
| 2 | (inc) ×6 | 12 |
| 3 | (sc, inc) ×6 | 18 |
| 4 | (2 sc, inc) ×6 | 24 |
| 5 | (3 sc, inc) ×6 | 30 |
| 6 | (4 sc, inc) ×6 | 36 |
| 7–13 | 36 sc | 36 |
| 14 | (4 sc, dec) ×6 | 30 |
| 15 | (3 sc, dec) ×6 | 24 |
| 16 | (2 sc, dec) ×6 | 18 |
| 17 | (1 sc, dec) ×6 | 12 |
| 18 | (dec) ×6 | 6 |
| Finish | slip stitch into the next stitch, fasten off | — |
Rays
Each ray is worked directly onto the body rather than made separately and sewn on: pick up eighteen stitches in a rectangle on the finished body and work the ray outwards, closing as you go. Anne's samples have eight rays. Space them evenly before you start the first one, because the eight rectangles have to fit around the same circle.
| Round | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 18 sc into a rectangle on the body | 18 |
| 2 | 18 sc | 18 |
| 3 | (4 sc, dec) ×3 | 15 |
| 4 | (3 sc, dec) ×3 | 12 |
| 5 | (2 sc, dec) ×3 | 9 |
| 6 | (1 sc, dec) ×3 | 6 |
| 7 | (dec) ×3 | 3 |
| Finish | fasten off — the tip is too tight for a slip stitch | — |

Eyes, mouth and the second face
The eyes and the mouth are small flat pieces, not rounds worked into the head.
| Piece | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| Eye | 6 sc in a magic ring, slip stitch, fasten off — black | 6 |
| Mouth 1 | 3 sc in a magic ring | 3 |
| Mouth 2 | chain 1, turn, 3 increases — the chain is not counted | 6 |
The phase 2 face is the second side, the one with the smile. It is a small flat circle in two colours: white for the outer ring, and two chain-and-double-crochet arcs for the smile.
| Step | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in a magic ring | 6 |
| 2 | (inc) ×6 | 12 |
| 3a | change to white: (sc, inc, sc, inc) | 6 |
| 3b | chain, hdc, chain, dc, chain, hdc, chain — chains are not counted | 6 |
| 3c | repeat 3a and 3b once more | 12 |
| 4 | add an extra sc so the colours line up, slip stitch and fasten off | — |
Round 4 is the honest part of any colour-change pattern: if the two arcs do not meet where the white does, add or drop a single crochet in the white section until they line up. Sew phase 1 on one side of the body and phase 2 on the other.

Mr Tree
Mr Tree is the tallest piece in the set: a brown trunk that changes to green at round 22, widens into a canopy, and closes at round 40. The ten side lobes are made separately, five along the bottom of the canopy and five along the top, offset so the silhouette reads as foliage rather than a ball.
Body and canopy
Rounds 23 to 40 are written on the source sheet as stitch counts only — 30, 36, 42, then back down. The repeat patterns in that table are reconstructed with the standard six-increase and six-decrease steps that produce those counts, and they are marked as such. Test the first few rounds against the photo before you commit to the canopy.
| Round | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 sc in a magic ring | 6 |
| 2 | (inc) ×6 | 12 |
| 3 | (sc, inc) ×6 | 18 |
| 4 | (2 sc, inc) ×6 | 24 |
| 5 | 24 sc in the back post | 24 |
| 6–8 | 24 sc | 24 |
| 9 | 2 × (10 sc, dec) | 22 |
| 10–12 | 22 sc | 22 |
| 13 | 2 × (9 sc, dec) | 20 |
| 14–21 | 20 sc | 20 |
| — | switch to green | — |
| 22 | (4 sc, inc) ×4 | 24 |
| 23 | (3 sc, inc) ×6 — the sheet gives the count only | 30 |
| 24 | (4 sc, inc) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 36 |
| 25 | (5 sc, inc) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 42 |
| 26–34 | 42 sc | 42 |
| 35 | (5 sc, dec) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 36 |
| 36 | (4 sc, dec) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 30 |
| 37 | (3 sc, dec) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 24 |
| 38 | (2 sc, dec) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 18 |
| 39 | (1 sc, dec) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 12 |
| 40 | (dec) ×6 — count only on the sheet | 6 |
| Close | close the opening | — |
The ten side lobes
Each lobe is crocheted into the green part of the finished canopy, so the join is structural rather than sewn. Make one, pin it in place, then make the rest to match: the offset between the top five and the bottom five is what makes the tree look like a tree.
| Round | What to do | Stitches |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 24 sc into the green part | 24 |
| 2 | (3 sc, inc) ×6 | 30 |
| 3 | 30 sc | 30 |
| 4 | (3 sc, dec) ×6 | 24 |
| 5 | (2 sc, dec) ×6 | 18 |
| 6 | (1 sc, dec) ×6 | 12 |
| 7 | (dec) ×6 | 6 |

The eyes are a six-stitch magic ring each and the mouth is three stitches with a chain-one turn — the same pieces as Mr Sun, in black. Sew them on before the lobes go on, while the canopy is still flat enough to reach.
Notes on the source sheets
These are the places where the hand-written sheets and the finished toys disagree, or where a line can be read more than one way. Nothing below was guessed silently.
- Mr Sun's numbering restarts. After round 13 the sheet numbers the decrease rounds 7 to 11 again. They are rounds 14 to 18, and that is how they are printed above.
- A round is missing from the body sheet. The written rounds go from 7 straight to 9, and round 9 reduces twenty-four stitches to twenty-two. Round 8 is therefore a plain round of twenty-four single crochet, and it is marked as missing rather than reconstructed silently.
- "Inside post" and "back post". Round 5 of the body says twenty-four single crochet in the inside post, and round 5 of Mr Tree says twenty-four in the back post. Both most likely mean the back loop only, which gives the crisp ridge visible in the photos, but we have kept Anne's wording. Work a few stitches both ways on a swatch and keep the one that matches her photo.
- Mr Tree rounds 23 to 40. Counts only on the sheet; the stitch sequences above are reconstructed with standard six-step increases and decreases. If your canopy comes out ribbed or lumpy, the count is right and the sequence needs adjusting.
- The eye's "slip stitch increase". Kept as written. Six ordinary increases make an almost identical disc if the slip stitch will not behave in your yarn.
- The eyelid's round 3. Written as one sentence on the sheet; the reading above follows the finished eyelid in the photo.
Making the rest of the set
Once the shared body works in your hands, the other characters are additions to it: Tunner has no animation and no extra pieces, the character pages carry the colours, and the starting guide has the twenty-character chart with the colour and the one feature that makes each face readable. If crochet is too slow for the child who asked for one, the free colouring pages are the same characters in a much shorter afternoon.
