A Tiny Woodland Friend With Sweet Handmade Character

A tiny beaver holding a twig brings sweet woodland charm to your crochet basket. The Little Beaver amigurumi pattern by @julia_knitting11 creates a cute crochet animal that can become a keychain or handmade gift idea. If you enjoy forest friends, our amigurumi squirrel is another cozy project.

Rated Easy, it uses YarnArt Jeans, a 2 mm hook, safety eyes, stuffing, and basic tools. The paws are worked with the body, while the puff-stitch muzzle and crocheted teeth add character. It is beginner-friendly and quick, but not a no-sew pattern. Woodland toy fans may also like our amigurumi bear.

We sincerely thank @julia_knitting11 for this Little Beaver design. More beaver and woodland animal amigurumi ideas wait at the pattern's end.
