This koala amigurumi crochet pattern is suitable for confident beginners who are comfortable working in the round. All parts are crocheted in a spiral unless otherwise noted, with the legs, body, and head worked as one continuous piece for a clean finish. The beret is removable but can be sewn on if desired, while the nose is crocheted and the eyes are plastic safety eyes with screw fastening. Difficulty Level: Beginner-Friendly, and it also works well as a Quick to Make Amigurumi when crocheted at a relaxed pace.
The pattern is designed using semi-cotton YarnArt Jeans yarn in several colors, paired with a 2 mm crochet hook to achieve neat stitch definition. You will also need 6 mm safety eyes, toy stuffing, stitch markers, pins, a yarn needle for sewing parts, and scissors. The finished koala amigurumi measures approximately 15–17 cm in height. At the end of the pattern, you will also find related amigurumi ideas shared for extra inspiration.
