CROCHET SLOTH AMIGURUMI FREE PATTERN

Eye Patch ( Make 2)
This piece is worked crocheting on both sides of the foundation chain to create an oval shape, you will want to keep your chain tight to help avoid the look of ‘holes’, we will be working in the round.
With dark brown chain 10

Round 1: SC in the 2nd chain from hook, SC in the next 7 chains, 3SC in the last chain; working down the other side of the foundation chain (see picture to the right), SC in the next 7 chains, complete 2SC in the last chain (which is also the first chain we started with) (20) 

Round 2: 2SC in the first st, SC in the next 7, 2SC in each of the next 3 sts, SC in the next 7, 2 SC in each of the last 2 sts (26)

Note – Here is where we will attach the facial features. Place the safety eyes (inside of your eye patches) in between rounds 5 and 6 on each side. Next, angle your eye patches to your liking. I angled mine down and to the side on each side. Once you find the angle you like sew your eye patch into place and secure your safety eyes.

Nose – With black yarn and your tapestry needle make a pass through 3 rounds between your eyes. Continue to pass through to create your desired thickness.

Smile – (Optional) With your black embroidery thread (or yarn) create a smile below the nose by making a ‘v’. I added my smile after closing the head but adding it at this stage can make this step easier.

Assembly
– Sew the head onto the body making sure to add extra stuffing as you go. This will help add strength to avoid a wobbly head.
– Next, sew the legs onto the body starting at the 9th round from the bottom and ending at the 17th round.
– Lastly, sew the arms onto the body with a slight angle down (this will help the arms to rest onto the legs when sitting). I sewed my arms starting at round 20 and ending at round 25 when counting from the bottom.
