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.
All toys are very beautiful and cute !! 🙂 Thank´s 🙂
I love too crochet, great patterns.
Thanks!
I can wait to get started,
he a beautiful.
These are great new to crochet and this will be so much fun to try thank you
Great page
Hi.
Im currently doing the wolf but it doesnt say where the eyes are to be put… any help would be appreciated
Hi Blaire, it wasn’t counted, sorry. I think the shape of the head can suggest where.
I am confused about rd 20 of the body. I get 25 st but the directiins show I should gave 24.
Hi Gail :), try to crochet in this way – Rnd 20: (dec, sc in the next 3 st) repeat 6 times [24]
Hi, I love your toys and currently working on my 1st one, this cute wolf. I was wondering how to do the nose. Did you just sew the yarn to form it? Thank you.
Hi Veronika, yes the nose is embroidered. To make volume sew several stitches on each other 🙂 See the instructions how to embroider the nose here >> https://amigurumi.today/small-reindeer-amigurumi-pattern-free/
Many thanks 😊.
Just finishing up the head. It should be stuffed, correct? At what point would you suggest? It will be too tight by rnd 29. I also would like more direction on where to stuff legs and arms as well as where to place them. This is my first attempt at crocheting an amigurumi. Usually I knit, and am used to more specific directions regarding stuffing, and placement of appendages. Very cute pattern, though. I love the face.
Val
Hi Val, stuff the parts as you go. Note that you should crochet tightly enough so that stuffing wouldn’t look out through the stitches.
Hi…it’s really lovely the toy’s pattern, but i have problem on the ears… I was stucked! Can you please show me how to make the ears part? Thank you
Hi Jay 🙂 Which round you were stucked on?
from the beginning 🙂
sorry to troubled you
Lindo!!!!!!!!!😍
He looks so cute, I’ll have to make him for my grand daughter, thank you
