This pattern is available for free.

My crochet wallaby pattern comes complete with her very own amigurumi joey. I’ve designed this free crochet pattern so that even a new crocheter will find it beginner friendly, with plenty of extra links and instructions to help you along your hooking way.

This crochet pattern is my own little celebration of the smaller version of the kangaroo, who for some reason gets far less well earned appreciation!

That said…. To turn your toy wallaby into a crochet kangaroo, just add three rounds of single crochets to the muzzle at round 6, and two rounds of single crochets to the body at what is currently round 7 and 14. (Forgive me, wallabies of the world).

What You’ll Need:
100g James C Brett Flutterby chunky chenille yarn in silver
100g James C Brett Flutterby chunky chenille yarn in cream
5mm crochet hook
4mm crochet hook
Toy stuffing
16mm safety eyes
5mm safety eyes
Scissors
Yarn needle
