If you’re willing to try working with fluffy yarn, you can crochet this cuddly little sheep. Of course, you can also use any other yarn, but you’ll only get the plush effect with fluffy yarn.
Depending on the thickness of the yarn, the little lamb will be between 12 and 25 cm tall. It is crocheted using single crochet stitches. You can also sew a small music box with a custom melody into a larger sheep.

Zacharias the Zebra is always in a great mood and always ready for fun. Zebras were originally native to North Africa; today they are extinct there and live in South Africa. Zacharias would rather live in a nice, cozy home where he gets cuddled now and then.

I personally recommend cotton yarn for making all of my amigurumis.

The following materials are needed:

A cuddly bunny to fall in love with :-)

To ensure the cuddly bunny is truly child-friendly, I’ve avoided sewing as much as possible. The body is worked starting from the feet, and the hands are crocheted directly onto it—they really can’t come off.

The bunnies with and without a music box have slight differences. To avoid any confusion, I’ve created two separate, illustrated patterns—you can choose the cuddly bunny you’d like.

• Pattern 1 without a music box, 13 pages
• Pattern 2 with a music box, 15 pages
• For parts that are crocheted in an oval shape, I’ve created a diagram for the first round.

Materials:

• 50 g cotton yarn / 125 m
• stuffing
• safety eyes, 10–15 mm
• a music box (Amazon or Buttinette)—they even come in washable versions!
• crochet hook size 2.5

Skills:

• single crochet
• chain stitch
• slip stitch
• half double crochet
• double crochet
• magic ring
• color change
