The 25 Most Huggable Crochet Stuffed Animals

The 25 Most Huggable Crochet Stuffed Animals

by Adriana Maronese

Crochet

The animal kingdom is a wild and dangerous place, and at the same time absolutely fascinating. There are so many interesting creatures out there, with different shapes, sizes and colors that make this planet so beautiful to live in. Our curiosity about other species starts when we’re kids and during our life that feeling grows into admiration. Actually, I think I have never met a one single person who doesn’t like any animal at all.

Lately, mostly due to the confinement, I’ve spent some time watching animal documentaries. It’s so incredible to see how many beautiful animals there are in our world! So as a way to honor the diversity of our planet, I’ve decided to create a compilation with all my favorite crochet stuffed animals. I’ve gathered projects from all around the web! Hope you enjoy it!

Chip The Cheetah

Did you know cheetahs can run 70mph? Not only that, but they can also reach that speed in only 3 seconds! The key is that their claws don’t retract while running, which gives them more grip. I just hope I never have to run from a hungry cheetah! ?

Llamas are so cool! And they’re in my top 10 favorite animals. They are so sociable they would often ‘adopt’ small groups of sheep and goats and make them part of their own herd. Doesn’t that make you want to adopt -or make- a llama?
