How to Crochet a Mini Hulk in less than an hour

This version of Hulk is one of my oldest and most basic Amigurumi. All other details and additions are built upon this skeleton. It does not get any more primitive than this. It’s really simple and if you know all the basic crochet stitches, it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to finish it!

Terminology

Ch = chain

Sc = single crochet (2sc1 means 2 single crochet in same ch)

Sl st = slip stitch

St = stitch (refers to number of stitches in one round)

Bobble stitch = 4 double crochet bobble
