Floof the Squirrel Crochet Pattern
What is Being Made
Floof is a crocheted amigurumi squirrel toy designed by Sonja van der Wijk under the brand Son's Popkes. This intermediate-level crochet project creates a finished squirrel standing approximately 5.5 inches (14 cm) tall when made with the recommended yarn specifications. The design combines multiple yarn types and colors to achieve an authentic, fluffy squirrel appearance, making it an engaging project for crafters with some crochet experience.
Techniques Used
The squirrel is constructed using spiral crochet, a technique where rounds are worked continuously without joining at the end of each round. This method creates a seamless appearance and is characteristic of amigurumi toy construction. The pattern employs color changes throughout the design, with detailed instructions provided in color-coded format for complex color transitions to guide the crocheter through yarn changes. Stitch markers are recommended to track the beginning of each round as work progresses in the spiral method.
Stitches Used
While the pattern description focuses on the overall construction method, standard American crochet terminology is used throughout. The pattern is written exclusively in American crochet terms, making it essential for crafters to be familiar with this terminology system before beginning the project.
Materials
The squirrel pattern calls for worsted weight yarn in multiple types and colors:
- Main body: Istex Lètt lopi yarn
- Tail: Two colors of Istex Einband Lopi yarn held together simultaneously to create the characteristic fluffy tail texture
The finished size of your squirrel will vary depending on the specific yarn weight you choose and your individual crochet tension. Crafters are encouraged to experiment with eye sizing recommendations based on their yarn selection and gauge, as these factors directly impact the final proportions of the toy.
