Easy Capybara Amigurumi. Uses basic crochet stitches (UK terms) and techniques such as double crochet, increase and decrease. My sample is approx. 4.5 cm but you can make this with any size yarn and appropriate hook for that yarn and your capybara will be bigger or smaller accordingly.

There are no parts to sew on and other than the embroidery for the face you will be finished when you fasten off at the bottom of your mini capybara. I used mini pin sized safety eyes but if you’re making this for a child please embroider the eyes.

The yarn meterage used is an estimate. Depending on your tension you might get 2 capybara from a single ball of Catona but that’s my best guess. So far I’ve only made 1.

He’d make a perfect bag or phone charm or keyring charm.

With minimal finishing you’ll have your capy finished in a couple of hours.
