Free crochet opossum pattern: a Screaming Opossum amigurumi, about 13 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. A grey opossum with a white face, a pink nose and big round ears sits with its mouth wide open in a loud scream and tiny pink hands raised, with a thin pink tail curling behind. You need about 95 m of yarn: 45 m grey, 25 m white, 10 m coral, 5 m light pink, 5 m dark grey and 5 m pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. It makes a funny gift for anyone who feels like screaming into the void, or a loud-mouthed desk buddy. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern.

- Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff. Shape it into a dish: rounds 1–3 are the front of the piece, the magic ring its centre. Push the centre in so the front is concave (about 3 mm at the centre) and turn rounds 4–6 to the back: they make a thick rounded rim (about 8 mm thick) and lie behind as a second layer; the piece is about 32 mm across.<!-- (dish 50 %) -->
- Size before assembly: an oval about 3.7 × 2.9 cm at the widest, 2.7 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 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 1 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
