This pattern is available from cutekidscrochet.com for $4.00.

This pattern includes complete instructions with step-by-step photos for creating all three of the stuffed animals pictured.

This pattern stands apart from most amigurumi patterns in that all three of these animals are created by working in rows, not rounds! I designed these animals to be rated an “easy” skill level. If you can complete the basic stitches: single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet, sc increase and sc decrease, you can complete these patterns.

Why buy a CuteKidsCrochet original pattern?

  • All my patterns are complete with step-by-step photos. I do my best to write with the beginner in mind, describing the process each step of the way. Traditionally published books often aren’t able to offer this. The projects are completed ahead of time and then photographed. Magazines simply don’t have the room to publish lengthy detailed directions with a bunch of photos.

  • Additional help. All patterns contain a link to my website with free how-to-crochet videos.

  • Support the independent artist!
