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

Free crochet koala pattern: a Koala Bean amigurumi, about 10 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. The toy is a grey koala bean with big round fluffy ears lined in light grey, a large dark oval nose, a pale belly and little arms. You need about 65 m of yarn: 40 m grey, 15 m light grey, 5 m pink and 5 m dark grey. Plan on roughly 2 hours. It is a simple, soft little project for new crocheters and a lovely gift for koala fans. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern as you work.

How to crochet the Koala Bean

Beginner-friendly · 10 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 10 pieces in rounds: Koala bean, Ear ×2, Nose, Arm ×2, Foot ×2, Cheek ×2 (49 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.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

  1. Size before assembly: about 8.4 cm at the widest, 6.9 cm long; 28 rounds. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre front 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.
  2. colours of round 1 in order: 1 sc in light grey, 3 sc in grey, 2 sc in light grey
  3. Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R16).
  4. → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  5. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. Size before assembly: about 4 cm at the widest, 1.7 cm long; 7 rounds.
  2. Change to grey (pull it through on the last yarn-over of R3).
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–4 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 5.2 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 5–7 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 40 mm across.<!-- (dish 65 %) -->

  1. A flat oval about 2.2 × 1.4 cm; 2 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running vertically, top to bottom. 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 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With dark grey: ch 4.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 2 cm long; 6 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 1.3 cm at the widest, 1.3 cm long; 4 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff lightly only and press it flat to about 6 mm thick.<!-- flattened 50 % -->

  1. A flat circle about 1.5 cm across; 2 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

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.

  • Safety eyes with a printed glint 8 mm (on the koala bean): in round 19, 10 st apart (count along round 19: about 5.1 st each side of the centre front line).
  • Embroidery in dark grey thread (on the koala bean), straight stitches through: (in round 16, on the centre front line) → (in round 15, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right ) → (in round 15, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's right).
  • Embroidery in dark grey thread (on the koala bean), straight stitches through: (in round 16, on the centre front line) → (in round 15, 1 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left ) → (in round 15, 1.5 st from the centre front line, toward the toy's left).
