Crochet Capybara Pattern – Coco Amigurumi Plush

Meet Coco — a caramel capybara in bulky chenille, with a single dark brown stripe at her neck, small cupped brown ears, round brown paws, a cream belly oval, and an orange persimmon held at her front. Her face is a soft tan felt patch with an embroidered nose and two little white felt teeth peeking out at the bottom. 💗

Coco is beginner-friendly and low-sew. Her body is 26 rounds of single crochet worked top-down in one continuous piece, shaped by a gentle neck constriction at the stripe. The tail and both arms are crocheted straight into the body as you go, and her foot bumps are simply two surface bobbles at the base.

Four pieces are sewn on at the end: two ears, the felt face patch, and the belly oval. Worth knowing before you start — the face is felt rather than crochet, so you'll want a small piece of tan felt, a scrap of white, and ordinary sewing thread alongside your yarn.

Your download includes the full pattern in English, all in US crochet terms, with materials, gauge, stripe map, round-by-round instructions, assembly order, finishing, and troubleshooting. Finished size is around 14 cm (5.5 in) tall with a 4.0 mm hook. ✨
