Raccoon Crochet Pattern For Beginners 

Small crochet stuffed raccoon with a light brown body, dark brown and white eyes, dark brown feet, and a striped tail.

As the name of this crochet pattern suggests, this is a great option to consider if you are a beginner. It is easy to follow, and the instructions are all straightforward. In addition to this, the pattern looks impressive when complete, and does not seem as though it was created for beginners at all. 

The cost of this pattern is reasonable, and the seller does apply discounts from time to time too, which makes this pattern a steal! The pattern is sent quickly after you have paid for it, and the raccoon is roughly 25 cm in height, which is a good size.

There are two tutorial videos to follow which talk through everything in detail, and are particularly helpful.

These particular crochet patterns are bestsellers, which is fantastic. The pattern’s instructions are featured in English, and are fairly easy to understand. However, this is not listed as an easy pattern to follow. As a result, it would be better for those who have experience in crocheting. 

As there are three different patterns included, you are spoiled for choice. This listing is great value for the money, and the patterns are available via a digital download, in one PDF file.

Each animal is around 8 inches (ca. 20 cm) in height, and would make a fantastic gift for a child. The detailing is fantastic, and these patterns make the perfect trio. The seller is a popular choice, and it is easy to see why.

This trio of safari crochet animals are absolutely adorable, and would be perfect for a children’s nursery. They are beautiful and also easy to make, which is certainly a bonus. What is great about these patterns is that when they are downloaded, they are in their own separate files.

When looking at the price of these patterns, they are one of the more expensive options featured. However, they are still reasonably priced, and not too expensive, especially when you take into consideration that there are three different patterns featured.

The pattern is inexpensive to purchase, and it is better suited to those who are more experienced crocheters. This pattern is shipped out rather than being a digital download.

Crochet Toy Pattern – Bunny With Long Ears

If you or a friend or family member is expecting a baby, this is the perfect animal pattern to download. This is such a beautiful design that is available to download as a PDF. It is not overly expensive to purchase, and the instructions are easy to follow. 

What we love about this design is that it also features a sweater pattern you can follow to create a little sweater for the bunny — how cute is that! As this is not an easy pattern to follow, it is better suited to those with experience crocheting.
