A cute Aussie family in one pattern!: Includes instructions to make the Mom and dad wombat and also the baby wombat that is commonly called joey.

This amigurumi is based on the Common Wombat (Vombatus ursinus) and I also have another pattern to make the Hairy-Nosed Wombat (Lasiorhinus latifrons or Lasiorhinus krefftii) here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/wombat-and-joey-...

Size: Mom and dad measure approx. 8x5x” or 20x13 and joey is just 2.5x1.5” or 8x5cm.

You can make these amigurumi using regular yarn or give them a hairy look by using a mohair-blend (or similar) or just by brushing your regular acrylic yarn.

MATERIALS
You can use any yarn you like in 2 colors.
For writting the pattern I used WW/10ply yarn

• Main Color: 70g for each adult (I used “Vanna’s Choice” in color Barley-403 for the furry version and “Fun” in color Brown-126B; both by Lion Brand).
• Contrasting Color: approx. 15g for the Joey and some pieces of the adult (I used a DK- 8ply acrylic yarn together with a Sport/ 4ply mohair blend in color Beige to get the same thicknes as the MC.)
• Small quantities of black and pink yarn or embroidery thread.
• Crochet hook: 3.5mm (E)
• Safety eyes: 14mm for the adult and 7mm for the joey (If you choose to use eyes).
• Stuffing material, yarn needle and scissors.
• OPTIONAL: A little piece of black, white and beige felt and a brush for the hairy version.

DIFFICULTY:
Advanced beginner to Intermediate
You just need to know the basics of amigurumi technique.

This pattern is available only in English and I used US crochet terminology.
