This is a pattern to crochet a sweet and innocent amigurumi wolf, an adorable friend of your child.

Supplies:

• Fine semi-woolen yarn (50% wool, 50% acrylic) of grey color
• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• Fiberfill
• Button eyes
• Some black yarn for muzzle and paws
• Some black felt for ears
• Tapestry needle
• Scissors

The size of finished crochet wolf is about 26 cm. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used.

Gauge is unimportant for the pattern. If the parts are crocheted tightly enough, they will keep the required shape well when stuffed. You can make a little test to be sure your hook is suitable.

Skill level: intermediate

Fasten off leaving a tail for sewing. Stuff slightly.

Assembly:
1. Sew button eyes before the nose (look attentively at the shaping).
2. Embroider nose and eyebrows.
3. Cut out 2 small triangles from black felt and sew them on the inner part of the ears.
4. Pin the ears to the head, and if you like the position, sew them on.
5. Place head on top of body (use pins), and using the tail left over from the body, sew the head on place.
6. Shaping paws: using black thread, embroider two lines that stretch between the fingers/toes. Pull thread tight creating the shape of fingers/toes.
7. Attach arms and legs using thread and tapestry needle (see the picture below). Do not insert the needle through the limbs, but seize only the inner part of the limbs.

8. Sew tail to the body.

If you want to make a snood for your amigurumi wolf, please crochet a chain of appropriate length (try it on the toy), then crochet two rows of half double crochet stitches. Sew the ends of the snood when it’s on the wolf or make a button and a loop as a clasper.
