Materials

• Worsted weight yarn: Kelly Green (120 yds), White (20 yds), Black (10 yds), Dark Green (10 yds for shading)
• Size G/4.0mm crochet hook
• Polyester fiberfill stuffing
• Yarn needle, scissors
• Optional: glow-in-the-dark paint for authentic nightlight effect

Step-by-Step

The Body

1. With kelly green: Magic ring, 6 sc. (6 sts)
2. Increase by 6 sts per round to 30 sts.
3. Work even for 12 rounds.
4. Waist indent: Work a round of BLO sc to create a ridge.
5. Continue for 3 more rounds.
6. Decrease to close. Stuff firmly before closing.

The Head

7. Magic ring, 6 sc. Increase to 24 sts. Work even for 5 rounds.
8. Face shaping: Decrease one round to create a slight chin taper.
9. Continue even for 3 rounds. Decrease to close. Stuff.
10. Sew head to body at a slight tilt—Kuchi Kopi always looks a little off-balance.

Arms (Make 2)

11. Magic ring, 6 sc. Work even for 14 rounds. Do not stuff. The arms should be wobbly and floppy.
12. Sew to body sides, letting them dangle.

Face Details

13. Eyes: With white, make 2 small circles (magic ring, 8 sc). Sew to face. With black, embroider small dot pupils—slightly cross-eyed for authenticity.
14. Mouth: With black yarn, embroider Kuchi Kopi’s signature wavy smile—a simple up-down-up-down curved line.
15. Shading: With dark green, lightly surface stitch along the bottom edge and under the chin for dimension.

Finishing

16. Apply glow-in-the-dark fabric paint to the body if you want it to actually glow like the show.
17. Kuchi Kopi stands about 7 inches tall. Display prominently and wait for Louise to steal it.
