CuBoid Sloth

CuBoid Sloth Crochet Toy by Just Lillibit Toys

What Is Being Made

The CuBoid Sloth is a beginner-friendly amigurumi-style crochet toy designed by Lisa Moultrie of Just Lillibit Toys. This downloadable crochet pattern creates a three-dimensional stuffed sloth toy with a cubic or blocky construction style, perfect for crafters new to crochet who want to create a finished plush toy.

Craft and Technique

This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. The pattern is designed for beginner-level crocheters, making it an accessible introduction to amigurumi (the Japanese craft of crocheting small stuffed toys). The cubic design approach simplifies shaping compared to traditional rounded amigurumi, allowing beginners to achieve professional-looking results with basic crochet skills.

Stitches and Abbreviations Used

The CuBoid Sloth pattern employs fundamental crochet stitches suitable for beginners:

• Chain (ch) – the foundation stitch for starting rows and sections
• Single Crochet (sc) – the primary stitch for building the toy's structure
• Double Crochet (DC) – used for creating height and texture variation
• Increase (INC) – worked as 2 single crochet stitches in each stitch to expand sections
• Slip Stitch (SL.ST.) – used to join rounds and create seamless transitions
• Fasten Off (FO) – secures the yarn at the end of the project

Materials and Supplies

This pattern uses chunky-weight yarn, which creates quick results and is easier for beginners to work with. The specific materials listed include:

• Paintbox Chunky yarn in three colors:
  • Vanilla Cream (307) – approximately 100 grams for the main body
  • Champagne White (302) – approximately 40 grams for accent details
  • Soft Fudge (309) – approximately 25 grams for facial features and accents
• Paintbox DK weight yarn in Paper White (100) – a lighter weight option for optional heart details
• 2.5mm crochet hook – sized appropriately for the chunky yarn
• Safety eyes (optional) – for adding facial expression to the toy
• Yarn needle – for weaving in ends and assembling pieces
• Stitch marker – for tracking rounds during construction
• Scissors – for cutting yarn
• Stuffing – polyester fiberfill or similar material to fill the completed toy
