Zady the Zebra
This pattern is available as a
free Ravelry download
Zady is the second free design as part of the #babyanimalCAL which we start on 9 August 2021 on my Instagram page (instagram.com/carascreationsaus).
Zady is a dainty little Zebra who loves to sit and drink tea! Storytime is her favourite activity – listening to all the wonderful stories brings her so much joy!
Difficulty: Intermediate, US terminology
You will need:
- 2.5mm hook/C-2 (US)
- 4ply yarn/fingering > less than 50g yarn in each colour: CHARCOAL, WHITE and PINK
- BLACK 4ply yarn or embroidery thread
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Polyester toy stuffing
- Stitch marker (optional)
Notes:
- Amigurumi is usually stitched in the round and a yarn with no stretch is best, I prefer cotton or cotton blend.
- For a neat colour change, start the next round with the old colour and use the new colour to yarn over and pull through (close) the first sc (see photo in pattern).
- I’ve used the following yarns: o CHARCOAL = Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 in col. 010 o WHITE = Hobbii Cotton Kings 8/4 in col. 01 o PINK = Hobbii Cotton Kings 8/4 in col. 19
- Generally, the hook you use for amigurumi will be a smaller than for other crochet as you want the stitches tight.
- Your tension, the yarn thickness and hook size used will affect the size of the finished item. My Zady the Zebra is approximately 10cm tall (4 inches).
- I have embroidered the eyes for this pattern but you may choose to use safety eyes. Please ensure that there are no loose fittings.
