Free crochet pocket hug pattern: a Pocket Hug Sheep amigurumi, about 7 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A round cream sheep with a bobbly popcorn fleece band, a small dark grey face with a pink nose, dark ears and two dark arms folded around its tummy in a hug. You need about 50 m of yarn: 30 m cream and 20 m dark grey, plus a scrap of pink for the nose. Plan on roughly 2 hours. It makes a cosy pocket gift for someone who needs a hug, or a charm for a shelf. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

- Size before assembly: about 7.6 cm at the widest, 6.9 cm long; 27 rounds.
- → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Press the piece flat to about 7.2 cm thick (oval cross-section).<!-- press the piece flat by 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.
- Size before assembly: an oval about 4.4 × 2.8 cm at the widest, 2.3 cm long; 9 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 back 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.
- With dark grey: ch 6.
- → Insert the safety eyes now (positions: see “Face”) and fix the backs. Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
- Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 12 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.
- Size before assembly: about 2.2 cm at the widest, 2.2 cm long; 7 rounds.
- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff it lightly — a thin layer, just enough to hold the walls apart: the ear about 10.8 mm thick, with thick rounded edges. Then shape it into a spoon: push the front wall toward the back wall — a concave spoon about 1.8 mm deep in front, a rounded back; about 22 mm wide. Keep the opening a curve, hollow side forward, not a straight line.<!-- (spoon 40 %) -->
- Size before assembly: about 1.2 cm at the widest, 4.2 cm long; 12 rounds.
- 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. Bend ≈ 95° around round 7<!-- the bend spreads over 5 rounds -->. After stuffing, bend the piece so the inner side of the bend faces toward the toy's right on the finished toy (on the piece: in round 7, 2 st from the centre top line, toward the toy's right <!-- st 2.1 right -->). On the inner side draw rounds 6 and 9 together (3 rounds go into the fold): with the needle and matching yarn make 3–4 stitches through the loops of both rounds over about 2 st, pull to the angle and hide the end inside. Bend the second piece as a mirror image.
