The koala, the most cozy and cuddliest symbol of Australia. These nocturnal animals cannot
see very well, but they can hear all the better and thanks to their big and very sensitive nose
they always know about everything that happens in their environment. The sense of smell
also helps the koala to find the perfect eucalyptus.

To avoid having to travel to Australia to see a koala, simply crochet this little companion. And
to make sure that the koala doesn’t get hungry, you can add the eucalyptus branch directly to
it.

This crochet koala is crocheted with chain stitches, slip stitches, single crochet stitches and
half double crochet stitches in spiral rounds and in rows and is easy to crochet.

The depicted amigurumi koala has been crocheted with the “Schachenmayr Catania” yarn
with a 2.5 mm crochet hook and has sitting a height of 4.5 cm.
