Today we share a free amigurumi cheburashka crochet pattern for you, it’s a Russian character from 1966 children’s literature.
Materials needed to make this pattern are sport weight yarn, a 1.5mm crochet hook, 5mm beads, embroidery yarn with (brown, black, and white) shades for muzzle decoration, and fiberfill.
Legs and body are made in one piece, then arms, head, and tummy are made, then assemble all parts at the end.
The finished size of this cheburashka is 14 – 15 cm, so if you need to make a smaller / bigger one, you can use finer / bulkier yarn weight with a suitable hook.
