Free Crochet Tiger Pattern – Materials and Equipment

Yarn I used for this free crochet tiger pattern:

– Fine Sport #2 = 4 ply

– 55% cotton and 45% acrylic blend

– 2x ball of orange yarn – YarnArt Jeans – colour 77 – (50g/160m)

– 1x ball of black yarn – YarnArt Jeans – colour 53 – (50g/160m)

– 1x ball of white yarn – YarnArt Jeans – colour 62 – (50g/160m)

I like to purchase my YarnArt Jeans from Amazon HERE or from Etsy HERE. If you would like to check some great substitutes for YarnArt Jeans then have a read of my Best Yarn for Making Amigurumi tutorial. You can find the substitutes towards the end of the article.

Or just simply use any 100% cotton that will work just as well. You can also use 100% acrylic if you prefer to work with this type of yarn.

Other materials used: black thread yarn for toe embroidery, polyester fibre fill

Crochet hook: I used 2.5mm = B/1 (2mm for the eyelash yarn), if using different weight of yarn then refer to hook size recommendations on the yarn but go one size smaller. I highly recommend this ergonomic crochet hook set from Amazon as it comes in a stylish case and with other accessories such as stitch markers etc.

Other equipment used: scissors, yarn needle, pins with large heads, stitch marker or thin yarn to use instead, 12mm safety eyes

Choking hazard warning: the use of safety eyes or buttons poses a choking risk for children under the age of 3 therefore I recommend using embroidery instead.

How to Crochet the Ears

Yarn colour: white yarn for the front of the ear, orange yarn for the back of the ear, black yarn for the hem of the ear

Approach: crochet the front and back of the ear as two separate parts; you will then crochet these two parts together

Watch this step by step video tutorial on How to crochet tiger ears for Amigurumi.

For both the front (white yarn) and the back (orange yarn) of the ear:

R1: MR – 6 x SC into the ring {6} – watch this step by step video tutorial on How to crochet a magic ring for Amigurumi.

R2: (L INC, SC in next ST) x 3 {12}

R3: SC in next ST, L INC, SC in next 2 ST, 3x INC, SC in next 2 ST, L INC, SC in next 2 ST {19}

R4: SC in next 2 ST, L INC, SC in next 4 ST, 4x INC, SC in next 4 ST, L INC, SC in next 3 ST {27}

INV FO and weave the yarn tail in

 

To join the two parts of the ear together:

– place the front and back part on the top of each other making sure that the wrong side of each part is on the inside

– create a slip knot on your hook with the black yarn

– insert your hook into one of the stitches at the bottom of the front part (white part)

– and then insert your hook into the corresponding stitch of the back part (orange part)

– so you now have two stitches on the hook (Pic E2), single crochet these two stitches together

– continue to single crochet the corresponding stitches of each part together (Pic E3) = SC in next 27 ST (this includes the SC from the above step) {27}

– INV FO and weave the yarn tails in

You can now place the eyes:

– stuff the head well first

– it helps to use pins with large heads to first mark the spots where the eyes will be placed – you can make a decision whether you are happy with the placement and if it looks symmetrical before you insert the safety eyes; the safety eyes usually make a large hole in between the stitches so it is not recommended to change the placement of the eyes once they are in (Pic H9)

– place the eyes between rounds R16 and R17

– first eye – count 8 stitches from your marker at the start of R16 and place the eye between ST8 and ST9

– second eye – count 28 stitches from your marker at the start of R16 and place the eye between ST28 and ST29

– you can now insert the safety eyes but do not put the safety backs on yet (Pic H10)

 

Sculpting the eyes (indented eye look):

– watch this step by step video tutorial on How to indent eyes in Amigurumi

– take a long piece of yarn and thread your needle

– remove the left eye; place the needle in the stitch next to the left eye hole (Pic H11)

– remove the right eye; come across the side with the needle and place it into the stitch next to the right eye hole; pull all the way through till the yarn tail is not showing

– place your needle in another stitch next to the right eye and come across the side with the needle again (Pic H13)

– repeat the process back and forth between the two eye holes while pulling on the yarn tightly each time you come across the side

– you will need to repeat this about three times until you achieve the indented eye look you want and then you can weave the yarn in (Pic H15)

– place the eyes back in the holes; remove some or most of the stuffing and place the safety backs on making sure they snap in place tightly

– you can now re-stuff the head (Pic H16) and continue crocheting R36

How to Embroider the Nose

– Embroider the nose using the same black yarn you used to crochet the tiger.

– Mark the shape and placement of the nose with pins first before you start embroidering.

– I embroidered the nose between R4 and R9 of the head; leaving 6 stitches between the pins at the top and 3 stitches between the pins at the bottom.
