Amigurumi Gorilla Crochet Pattern

Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.

Supplies:
4mm crochet hook, 4/Medium weight yarn in main color, and eyelash yarn in main color, 4 weight contrast color. 10mm safety eyes, black embroidery thread tapestry needle, scissors, and stuffing.

Additional Information:
Difficulty: Easy
For this pattern, I used 3 skeins of Lion Brand’s fun fur yarn in red. I paired this yarn with a regular 4 weight yarn, and crocheted with them together. This makes the stitches much easier to see and work with. This also makes the total yarn weight feel like a 5 bulky weight yarn. You can also use Red Heart Hygge, or a similar bukly-ish furry yarn for the main color. I used a regular 4 weight yarn for the contrast color. The terms “main color” refers to the main color used for the gorilla. I used red. “Contrast color” refers to the opposite color used, and I used white for that. We start by making the head, then work the body. They are one piece. We them make the face, and then the limbs.
