Wolf Amigurumi Pattern

Notes on this pattern:
 

·                      This pattern is intended for personal use only. Please do not reproduce or repost this pattern without my permission. Never sell my patterns or items created from my patterns.

·                      Probably the most complicated parts of this pattern are the muzzle and tail. The head and body are the typical amigurumi "mushroom" shape and the paws and ears are pretty simple to crochet.

·                      The finished size of the wolf is about 5 inches sitting, 7 inches standing.

Materials needed:
 

·                      Bulky weight yarn in grey, white, and black (I used Bernat Softee Chunky)

·                      Size H (5.00 mm) crochet hook

·                      Yarn needle

·                      Optional: Safety eyes and nose (if the item is intended for children over 3 years)

Abbreviations used in this pattern:
 

·                      Rnd = round

·                      sc = single crochet

·                      st = stitch

·                      sts = stitches

·                      ch = chain

·                      sc2tog = single crochet two stitches together, aka a decrease. (I recommend using falwyn's invisible decrease.)
