Koala

Make a little Koala that feels like a handmade hug. With its oversized round ears, soft gray body, cream belly, round black nose, rosy cheeks, and gentle expression, this crochet Koala has an instantly comforting look. You’ll shape the rounded head and body, create the large ears and limbs, add the contrasting belly, and carefully finish the small facial details that give your Koala its personality. The project helps you practice round shaping, symmetry, stuffing control, assembly, and facial placement. Follow our step-by-step video tutorials and printable PDF pattern at your own pace. Make it during a quiet weekend, keep it close on your desk, or give it to someone you wish you could hug more often. A little handmade Koala when you can’t always be there in person.
