Card Soldier Ace of Hearts free amigurumi pattern

Another whimsical character has joined the Wonderland crew! Meet the Card Soldier, the Ace of Hearts, ready to stand guard for the Queen and bring a touch of magic to your crochet collection. With his flat card shape and tiny heart details, he’s fun to make and full of personality.

This pattern closes the Wonderland Collection with style, and I couldn’t be happier to share it with you! If you’ve been following this series, you’ll know how special each of these characters is, and now the full set is finally complete!

Meet the Card Soldier and the Complete Wonderland Collection

This Card Soldier is the sixth and final pattern in the Wonderland Collection — and he fits right in with his quirky charm! The full collection includes the mischievous Cheshire Cat, the curious White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, sweet Alice, the Queen of Hearts, and now, the loyal Ace of Hearts. Together, they bring the magic of Wonderland to life, one stitch at a time… and I hope you enjoy every stitch as much as I enjoyed designing each little friend in this magical set!

Crochet Ace of Hearts Amigurumi

Materials:

• 2mm crochet hook 
• White, red and dark yellow yarn. A little bit of beige for the face. I used 100% cotton, light worsted, 6ply.
• Black thread for embroidering the eyes. 
• Stuffing material
• Scissors
• Sewing needle.
• Or, you can use safety eyes! The position is at the end of this post.

Finished Size

The finished amigurumi Card Soldier measures approximately 5,5″ (14 cm) tall. However, the final size may vary depending on your stitch tension and the materials used.

Gauge

Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, so feel free to use a hook size that matches your chosen yarn. I always recommend using a slightly smaller hook to keep the stitches tight and prevent the stuffing from showing through. If needed, adjust your hook size for a neater finish.

However, if you’d like to know the gauge for my chosen yarn and materials, here it is:
With sport-weight yarn and a 2mm crochet hook, the gauge for 5 rounds (increasing to 30 stitches) measures approximately 1.6″ (4.5 cm).
