Beaver - Free Amigurumi Pattern

-

 
Beavers are always so cute when they're paddling around in the water. I wanted to make a bigger, chunkier, even cuter version of my old beaver pattern, and this is what came of it! This pattern is similar to the one I used for my large grizzly bear, but without a muzzle and a bit smaller.

Attaching Parts

Start by sewing the ears to the top of the head. I sewed mine to round 8.

 Next, sew the front legs on. I sewed mine around rounds 10-12.




 Now you can sew the back legs on. Make sure they line up well with the front legs. I sewed mine around rounds 18-20.

 

 Finally, sew the tail to the centre of the bum.
