Karl the Wallaby has been a firm favourite in the menagerie since 2016 and is a fantastic pattern to learn to crochet with. Quick and easy to make, this adorable marsupial will sit comfortably in your hand unlike its real life cousins, which are native to Australia and New Guinea.

This soft toy will look at home in the nursery, sitting on the shelf or lovingly gift-wrapped for the loved ones in your life. Once you’ve finished crocheting Karl the Wallaby, you’ll be ready to start the next animal in the collection with this addictive new hobby!
