Moose Dex - Crochet Pattern

Overview:

Moose Dex is a charming, crocheted moose figure, standing approximately 25 cm (9.8 inches) tall. This plush animal has a sturdy, rounded body, detailed antlers, and an expressive face. The pattern uses natural shades of yarn to replicate the moose’s appearance, creating a soft, huggable companion with great attention to detail.

Key Features:

• Head: The head is crocheted using Scheepjes Catona Black Coffee yarn. It has a well-defined shape with safety eyes positioned to give it a lifelike expression. The nostrils are sewn with beige yarn, and the eyes are set between rounds 31 and 32, creating a friendly and approachable look.

• Antlers: Moose Dex’s antlers are made with Scheepjes Catona Linen yarn, and consist of three distinct sections: the base, the largest tine, the middle tine, and the smallest tine. The antlers are filled with fiberfill to give them volume and are securely attached to the top of the head, giving the moose its characteristic look.

• Body: The body is crocheted in Black Coffee yarn, giving it a strong, dark appearance. It has a firm, rounded shape and is filled with fiberfill to maintain its structure. The body connects to the head seamlessly, making the moose a solid figure from top to bottom.

• Legs:

  • Hind Legs: Made using Scheepjes Catona Rootbeer yarn for the lower part and Black Coffee yarn for the upper part, the hind legs are strong and slightly curved to allow the moose to sit comfortably. The hooves are marked with beige yarn to add extra detail.
  • Front Legs: The front legs follow a similar design with Rootbeer and Black Coffee yarn, and they are attached to the sides of the body for balance.

• Ears: The ears are crocheted in Black Coffee yarn and folded to give them a realistic look. They are positioned just below the antlers on each side of the head.
