Gibbon Crochet Pattern by Squibblybups
What Is Being Made
The Gibbon crochet pattern from Squibblybups creates a pair of white-handed (lar) gibbon toys: an adult gibbon standing 38cm (15 inches) tall and a baby gibbon measuring 13cm (5 inches) tall. These are amigurumi-style crocheted animals suitable for display, play, or collection.
Craft and Construction Method
Both gibbons are worked in the round using crochet techniques, which allows for seamless, three-dimensional toy construction. The adult gibbon can be made in a solid colour or with stripes, offering customization options for crafters. The baby gibbon is designed to be made using multicoloured yarn rather than colour changes, simplifying the construction process for smaller pieces.
Crochet Stitches and Techniques
This pattern employs fundamental crochet stitches essential for amigurumi creation:
- Chain (ch) – Used for foundation and shaping
- Double crochet (dc) – Primary stitch for building dense fabric and structure
- Half double crochet (hdc) – Used for varying fabric texture and creating smoother transitions
The pattern includes written instructions alongside crochet charts and step-by-step photographic guides for the adult gibbon's face details and technique tutorials, making it accessible for intermediate-level crocheters.
