Crochet Big Zebra Amigurumi Pattern Step By Step

This super cute crochet zebra amigurumi is a cute little toy that looks like a tiny zebra.

It is made by crocheting, which is a way of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn with a crochet hook.

The special thing about this zebra is its stripes. Just like a real zebra has black and white stripes, the crochet zebra is made with layers of black and white yarn.

These layers are added one after the other, so it ends up having stripes all over its body, which makes it look very similar to a real zebra.

This handmade zebra amigurumi can be a fun project to make and a lovely companion for kids or a charming decoration.

• White and black yarn (the video uses soft amigurumi yarn, but you can opt for any preferred type)
• Tapestry needle
• Stitch markers
• Crochet hook (2.5 mm suggested)
• Safety eyes (11 mm suggested)
• Scissors
• Stuffing material

Zebra Legs (Make 4):

Magic Ring:

1. Create a magic ring.
2. Crochet 6 single crochets (SC) inside the magic ring.
3. Close ring tightly.

Row 2:

• Increase in each stitch around (12 SC).

Row 3:

• [1 SC, increase] 6 times (18 SC).

For Row 11:

Row 12:

Change Yarn as Needed and Continue with Black and White Stripes

• Alternate following the pattern's increase and decrease as shown in the leg pattern until desired length is achieved, closing off with a similar method for black and white yarn changes and securing stitches well.

Zebra Arms (Make 2):

• Follow a similar start as the legs with adjustments for fewer increases as desired to make the arms slightly smaller.

Head and Body:

• The video does not provide explicit instructions for the head and body within this excerpt. Typically, it starts with a magic ring, followed by continuous increases to form a sphere, and then decreases to close off, attaching the eyes and sewing parts together where indicated.

Ears and Muzzle:

• Made separately and attached to the head. Start with a magic circle for the ears and work in rounds, increasing and then decreasing to shape. The muzzle is typically crocheted as part of the head or made separately and sewn on.

Tail:

• Crochet a small chain and attach it to the back of the body.

Assembly:

1. Sew the head to the body.
2. Attach the arms and legs to the body without sewing if constructed as part of the body or sew on if made separately.
3. Sew the ears to the head.
4. Add the safety eyes and any additional facial features or accessories.

Remember to adjust the stuffing as you close each part to ensure the zebra stands and maintains its shape.

This pattern provides the basics for creating a zebra plush. Experiment with colors and embellishments to personalize your zebra. Happy crocheting!
