Free Crochet Masterclass: “Friendly Trio” by Veronika Zancharova (@shopping_toys)

In this tutorial, you can crochet three cute characters: a bunny, a bear, and a cat using a single pattern. You can use any cotton or semi-cotton yarn suitable for amigurumi, such as YarnArt Jeans, Alize Cotton Gold, or other similar yarns. The bunny and bear wear pants, while the cat wears a skirt. All parts are crocheted in a spiral unless stated otherwise. You can choose the colors for your toys yourself or match them to the author’s photos.

Finished toy size: approximately 17 cm (without ears).
