My free crochet zebra pattern has a unique twist. The stripes aren’t made with color changes, aside from the muzzle, they are all crocheted strips that are hand sewn onto the toy. This technique was a bit of a departure from the amigurumi norm for me, but it enabled me to produce markings that actually look like a real zebra. I didn’t want toy zebra stripes, I wanted the twists and angles of the real gorgeous creature. And I think I got pretty close.
