A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

A free crochet crocodile pattern for a friendly baby croc that lies on its belly with a long snout and a toothy smile. This amigurumi crocodile is green with a pale lime belly, a row of six darker bumps down its back, bobbing eye bumps and little white teeth stitched along the jaw. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook, measures about 22 cm (8.7 in) long and 7 cm (2.7 in) tall, and the head, eye bumps, back bumps and four paddle legs are sewn onto a one-piece body and tail. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where every piece goes.

How to crochet the Baby Crocodile

Intermediate · 7 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 14 pieces in rounds: Body and tail, Head and snout, Eye bump ×2, Back bump ×6, Front leg ×2, Back leg ×2 (89 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 6 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

  20. Size before assembly: about 5.9 cm at the widest, 12.1 cm long; 32 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre top line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  21. colours of round 1 in order: 2 sc in green, 2 sc in bellygreen, 2 sc in green
  22. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  25. Size before assembly: an oval about 8.1 × 6.1 cm at the widest, 12 cm long; 32 rounds. The piece is oval: the rounds go around the chain, and on the finished toy the chain (the long side of the oval) runs side to side; the starting chain is at the front of the piece (on the finished toy). The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 2 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre top line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.

  8. Size before assembly: about 2.8 cm at the widest, 1.8 cm long; 7 rounds.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.

  • Satin stitch (on the Head and snout) (2, symmetric: the toy's left side is described, the right is its mirror image): in white thread in several layers so it stands out, a triangle about 4.2 mm wide and 4.2 mm tall, horizontal stitches, turned 180° clockwise (looking at that surface); centred between rounds 6 and 7, 8 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's left .
