A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face
Free crochet capybara pattern: a calm amigurumi capybara balancing a tangerine on its head while a tiny duckling rides on its back. About 12 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook, roughly 3 hours of work. Half-closed sleepy eyes, a big dark snout and four stubby legs give it that famous capybara chill: nothing bothers it, not even passengers. The orange with its leaf and the duckling are small separate pieces you sew on top. A quick, beginner-friendly crochet animal and a great gift for anyone who loves the internet's most relaxed rodent. Check the 3D model, then follow the round-by-round pattern.

1 sc ≈ 3.8 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.4 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 26 sc × 29 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.
Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.
The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.
