In celebration of the year of the tiger, I made my own tiger pattern! Not 100% happy with it, but maybe someone out there likes it!

Materials
To make Tora the tiger you will need:
– A Crochet hook, 2.5mm
– Orange, brown and white DK yarn
– A tapestry needle and scissors
– Stuffing
– Safety eyes and nose (I used 9mm)
– A stitch marker to help you keep track of the start of the round
Please note that you can make Tora using any size crochet hook and yarn weight for a smaller or bigger result. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm crochet hook, he should stand about 12cm tall.

Stitches & Abbreviations
The pattern is written using US crochet terms in continuous spirals. You will need to know the following kinds of stitches to make him:
– Magic Ring (MR)
– Single crochet (sc)
– Decrease (dec); preferably using the invisible decrease method
– Increase (inc)
– Changing colors
