These baby beavers work up fast and require only small amounts of yarn and little sewing, but still have cute details like a textured stitch used for the tail, and tiny toes giving a webbed look to their rear feet.

Size
about 11cm/3 ¼” long if made with the recommended yarns.

Tools and materials:

• worsted weight yarn in light brown and dark brown
• 3.5mm(E) crochet hook
• 6mm black plastic safety eyes
• optionally, a wire cutter to shorten the stems of the eyes
• fiberfill stuffing
• stitch marker, pair of scissors, pins, yarn needle

Difficulty
This pattern is suitable for intermediate level crocheters, who are confident with basic stitches (ch, sl st, sc, dc, working in FLO/BLO) and frequently used amigurumi techniques (invisible decrease, magic loop).

Head, body (including popcorn st front legs) and tail are crocheted in one piece, so there is not a lot of assembly in the end - only the ears, nose, and rear feet must be sewn on.

The pattern is written in English using US crochet terminology (UK/Aus equivalents provided). It contains many in-progress photos, but also includes a text-only appendix for easy printing, if you prefer working from a printed pattern but want to save ink and paper.

Finished amigurumi made from this pattern are yours to keep or gift or sell, I only ask you to credit me as the designer in case you decide to sell them.

Do the babies look a bit lost on their own? My Busy beavers pattern was designed to round out the family: it includes two differently posed grown-up beavers, plus some foods to share with the youngsters
