Amigurumi Koala Pattern No.54 by pawpaw
What Is Being Made
This pattern creates an amigurumi koala toy, a small stuffed crochet figure standing approximately 18.5cm (7.28 inches) tall. Amigurumi is the Japanese craft of crocheting small, stuffed three-dimensional toys and decorative figures. The koala design features a charming, huggable plush character suitable for display, gifting, or play.
Craft and Technique
This is a crochet project classified as beginner difficulty, making it accessible to crafters new to amigurumi. The pattern uses fundamental crochet techniques combined with assembly methods to create a finished toy. The construction involves crocheting individual body parts separately before joining them together, a common approach in amigurumi design that allows for better shaping and stuffing control.
Stitches and Construction Methods
The pattern employs essential crochet stitches to build the koala:
- Single crochet (sc): The primary stitch used throughout most of the pattern, creating dense, tight fabric ideal for stuffed toys
- Single crochet two together (2sctog): A decrease stitch used to shape the amigurumi and reduce stitch counts as sections are completed
- Chain (ch): Used to begin rows and create foundation chains
- Slip stitch (sl st): Employed to join rounds and finish off sections
A notable construction detail is that all stitches except the nose are worked through back loops only, a technique that creates a distinctive textured appearance and helps maintain the toy's structural integrity. The pattern allows flexibility in assembly order, with the option to attach parts such as ears, nose, and arms before stuffing the head and body for easier construction.

The pattern requires the following materials and equipment:
- Crochet hook: 5mm (H/8) size
