Introduction
Crochet animals are so cute, and they’re always a fun choice when you’re
looking for your DIY project. You can make crochet animals flat and two-
dimensional, or you can make them in amigurumi style (three-dimensional).
They make perfect gifts for all ages, especially small children who can
carry them everywhere and cuddle them to their hearts’ content.
Don’t get us wrong—these DIYs are loved by adults just as much. Not only
are they adorable, but they make the perfect desk accessory or windowsill
decoration. They’re especially great cuddle buddies for stress relief. Add a
few drops of essential oil to your crochet animal to add an element of
stress-relief or to help you fall asleep.
Whether you’re a crochet expert or a newbie, dive into these adorable
animal crochet patterns.

6 DIY Adorable Animal Crochet Patterns

1. Crochet Cat
A great project for beginners, this simple crochet kitty is sure to put a smile
on your face. They’re so sweet, you won’t be able to resist making more
than one.

The itty bitty crochet kitty is the cutest little crochet cat pattern. It works up
very quickly (great for beginners!) and would make the sweetest gift for
any cat lover.
Materials:
DK cotton (I used Vinni’s Colors, Nikkim. Paintbox yarns would do just
fine too!). Main body color as well as contrast color(s) for the facial details
3.25mm crochet hook (larger cat)
2.75mm crochet hook (smaller cat)
Yarn needle
Stuffing

Have a look at my tips for crocheting amigurumi before you start this

It’s also worth looking at my tutorial for the magic ring if you are
unfamiliar with how to make one.
Some parts of this pattern are worked in continuous rounds. Don’t slip
stitch to close the ring unless instructed to do so!

You can have great fun adding character to your little kitty!
The eyes are stitched in place first, approximately 1 – 2 stitches apart and 5
rows down from the top.
You can also use safety eyes, but make sure to attach them before you do
the final row! Stitch the ear details and nose in pink. Add cute little
whiskers in a softly contrasting color and stitch any other details (such as
stripes on the back). Stitch the tail in place. Give you kitty lots of little
cuddles!
2. Small Crochet Hippo
Hippos are awesome animals not often seen outside zoos or nature
documentaries on television. You can change that by making your very own
crochet hippo pal. When you’re done, give it a unique name.

Today I have a really cute pattern to share with you - this tiny hippo with
his huge nose and stumpy little legs, small enough to sit on your palm.
It's a really quick and easy project you can complete in a couple of
hours, although the small details like ears, legs and tail can be a bit fiddly to
make.

You will need:


Yarn. I used Novita Tennessee, a DK weight 100% cotton yarn,
105m/50g (115yds/50g) / 8 ply / 11 wpi / 3: light. You will need
about 22g or 50m of yarn.
2,25 - 2,75 mm crochet hook (US size 1/B - 2/C) or according to the
yarn.

Polyester fiberfill,
6 mm (1/4") safetywool, wadding
eyes or buttons,etc. for stuffing.
beads, felt etc.
Pink cotton embroidery floss.
Yarn needle, scissors, stitch marker.
Notes:
Work in a continuous spiral, do not join rounds or turn your work,
unless instructed otherwise in the pattern.
Use a stitch marker or a piece of yarn to mark the end or the
beginning of a round. Move the marker up after completing each
round.
All stitches are worked into both loops, unless instructed otherwise
in the pattern.

stitches, 2 dc into next stitch.* Repeat around. Join with sl st to first sc. (40)
Fasten off, but leave a long enough tail to sc around. (Probably a few feet at
least).
Jellyfish streamers/tentacles:
I found the streamers were easiest and most fun when done freeform. All of
them are a little different, but I used the same basics for each one to
maintain consistency. You can check out my curly cue sampler to get an
idea of what each type of curl will look like. Also, you can change up the
hook size for a different look. I used a G hook for the blue jellyfish and an
H hook for the purple jellyfish. On each jellyfish, there are 8 tentacles of
varying width and length.
Chain either 30, 40, 50, 60 or even 70.
Work 2 (or 3) sc in each chain stitch OR work 2 (or 3) hdc in each
chain stitch. If you’re starting with sc, then work into 2nd chain
from hook. If you’re starting with hdc, then work into 3rd chain
from hook.
Now, think of this as a Choose Your Own Crochet Adventure.
Now,
Continue working sc or hdc, working 2 or 3 stitches into each chain
across, then fasten off, leaving a tail.
I found it best if you stick with a particular pattern long enough to establish
the right curl, then change it to create a different type curl. Don’t change
your stitch type too quickly. You can curl the curly cues properly or leave it
messy,, up to you!

Assembly
Step 1: Attach the safety eyes between rows 12 and 13 on the cap, about 8
stitches apart.

eyes. 2: Use the embroidery thread


Step thread to sew on a mouth halfway between the
Step 3: Attach the tentacles to the bottom panel by weaving both tails of the
tentacles through stitch spaces in the panel, and tie a double knot to secure.
You can weave the ends in, or maybe not, since it’ll be hidden inside the
stuffed head. I chose to weave in ends because I don’t know how hard the
kids will pull on the tentacles.
Step 4: Match up the seam stitch of the panel against the seam stitch of the
cap. Insert your hook through both loops (front to back) on one stitch on the
cap, and pull through a loop of the panel’s tail. Work a chain stitch. Then
insert your hook through the same cap stitch, and through the first stitch on
the panel, pull up a loop and complete a sc. (It’s ok if you fudge this. You
just need to attach the two pieces together to get started.)
Step 5: For the next stitch and for each stitch around, insert hook from
outside of cap through all 4 loops (cap and panel). Work a sc.
Step 6: Once you’ve gone almost around, stuff the head with fiberfill, then
continue working sc around to close up the head. Join to the first sc with a
sl st. Fasten off and weave in ends.
If you’d like to hang your jellyfish, you can sew on a loop at the top.
Otherwise you’re done!
6. Lovebirds Crochet Pattern
When it comes to cuteness, this crochet project takes the cake. The plump
little birds look adorable on their own, but when you make two of these
lovebirds, you take the craft to a whole new level.

You will need:


4mm crochet hook
8 ply (DK/ Light Worsted) acrylic yarn (in teal and orange)
small amount of yellow and pink yarn
2 x 12mm plastic safety eyes
toy stuffing

PATTERN:
You will be crocheting in spirals.

this decrease, a regular single crochet decrease is perfectly fine
to do.
