Gorilla

Turn bold black-and-cream yarn into your own little Gorilla. With its rounded head, contrasting cream face, broad muzzle, tiny ears, chunky arms and legs, and friendly smile, this crochet Gorilla combines a strong silhouette with a surprisingly gentle personality. This project is a great way to explore larger shaped pieces, strong color contrast, muzzle construction, limb assembly, stuffing, and facial expression. One of the most rewarding stages is creating the layered face. Small differences in the placement of the eyes, muzzle, nose, and smile can completely change the personality of your finished Gorilla. Follow our step-by-step video tutorials and printable PDF pattern at your own pace. Finished, it becomes a bold shelf companion, an unusual handmade gift, or a standout piece in a jungle-inspired crochet collection. Bold colors. Strong shapes. One friendly Gorilla made by hand.
