This pattern is 13 pages (including a cover page), with step by step instructions and photos for assembly so you can make your very own armadillo. You can also make it into an ornament!

My armadillo turned out to be about 7.5 inches from nose to tip of tail and 4 inches tall to the top of the ears using the supplies listed below.

Patterns aren’t refundable, but I’m happy to help if you have any questions, so please feel free to reach out if you need.

The extra plushy one in the last few photos I made as a gift. I used Loops and Threads Sweet Snuggles and a 10mm hook with 15mm eyes. I didn’t measure it, but you can see it’s much larger.
