Introducing my Chunky Safari Bundle - interactive crochet patterns for eight low-sew amigurumi Jungle animals.
This 8-in-1 pattern bundle includes Blaze the Chunky Lion, Tango the Chunky Tiger, Loftie the Chunky Giraffe, Coco the Chunky Monkey, Rollo the Chunky Rhino, Zane the Chunky Zebra, Dottie the Chunky Hippo and Pebbles the Chunky Elephant. The finished toys make perfect gifts for animal lovers. I have provided detailed instructions and photos, making it easy to follow for advanced beginner to intermediate crocheters. You can use most yarn types with this pattern - lightweight cotton creates a smaller decoration, whilst chunky plush yarn will give you a larger, cuddly companion.
Written in English using US crochet terms, with step-by-step instructions and lots of photos included. Downloads include printer friendly versions, as well as colourful interactive PDF patterns.
PATTERN DETAILS
• Each pattern starts at the bottom of the feet and works up to the top of the head as a single piece, crocheting in the arms
• Sewing required to attach noses, ears, tails and other accessories
• Approx. 20cm tall with DK yarn and 2.5mm hook, 35cm tall with chunky yarn and 4mm hook
• Mix and match with my other Chunky and Pig patterns. For example, make yourself some Safari Magicians by using these patterns to modify Cedric the Chunky Magician
SKILL LEVEL
Beginner - Mostly simple stitches with a little sewing, some front loop only stitches, and a few colour changes. The lion is slightly more tricky and more of an intermediate pattern.
