** PDF Crochet Pattern Only, not the Finished Product **

Introducing Tess of the Squirrel Folk, an amigurumi pattern inspired by childhood fantasy tales like Redwall, and Lord of the Rings. This pattern isn’t just about creating a crochet piece; it’s about capturing a slice of childhood adventures and the timeless joy of storytelling. She’s been crafted with playability in mind, options for semi-poseable arms, legs, and head, and the ability to stand independently. Depending on your gauge, she’ll stand around 14cm/5.5inches. Outfitted with her cowl and belt pouch, Tess is ready to scale the highest trees, and take on any adventure she finds.

This pattern includes:

  • Detailed step-by-step instructions in English using US crochet terms
  • 30+ colour photos to help you get your squirrel looking just right
  • A full-colour PDF (B/W printer friendly available upon request with proof of purchase)
  • Detailed instructions for crafting a semi-poseable figure, as well as instructions for her cowl, belt, and pouch

Whether displayed on a shelf or accompanying a child in play, Tess will spark the imagination and be a lovely addition to any Amigurumi collection.

Materials

  • Yarn - The pattern is made for DK weight yarn, but being amigurumi, gauge isn’t super important and you can easily switch it out for a different weight. Just make sure all the yarn used is the same weight and it should still work.
  • Colour A: Main squirrel colour
  • Colour B: Belt/pouch colour
  • Colour C: Cowl colour
  • A little bit of black and a little bit of pink yarn for the eyes and nose.
  • 2.75mm crochet hook to keep the stitches nice and tight. Depending on your yarn you may need to go up or down sizes to match.
  • Stuffing
  • Sewing pins to keep things in place as you stitch them together (not necessary, but can help keep things from sliding around)
  • Marker to keep track of rounds (I use an extra little piece of yarn)
  • Yarn needle (or smaller if you prefer to attach pieces with thread), scissors, general etc
