By K W Warburton, The Reluctant Spoonie
Last year, I wrote up three crochet patterns for the Rabbit, Bear Cub and Cat Animal Crossing Villagers. One year on, I am back with two more. This time, I have free crochet patterns for the Deer and Rhino villagers.
- Animal Crossing Crochet Villagers with Free Crochet Pattern
- Animal Crossing Fish Pochette Free Crochet Pattern
The body, arms and legs are the same for each. You will just have to change the yarn colour when appropriate. For clothing, I enjoy using vintage fabric, but you can use any scrap fabric that you have available. Please note, that these Animal Crossing crochet villagers patterns are for people with advanced crochet skills. You can make your own Bluebear using my Bear Cub pattern
You Will Need
- 2.5 mm crochet hook
- Yarn (DK weight, various colours)
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Scrap fabric
- Sewing needle
- Thread (to match fabric)
- Felt for eyes and other embellishments
Important note: colours and embellishments will vary depending on the villager that you are making.
