Amigurumi Crochet Baby Sloth Free Pattern:
Head (starting in cream yarn)
R1: ch 7, starting in 2nd ch from hook, sc 6, now rotate your work 180 degrees and work in the front loops of the ch, starting in the first front loop, make sc 6 (12 sts)
What we are doing here is starting the head with a foundation chain. This is called starting your work with a foundation chain and is a great way to start a piece you want to be more oval than round. After crocheting through the top loops of the chain, you turn your work upside down so that the sts you just crocheted are at the bottom and the front or bottom loops of the chain are now at the top. These are the sts you will now work into. The first round is complete once you’re at the end of the row! Now, you just continue as you normally would working in the round.
R2: inc 1, sc 4, inc 2, sc 4, inc 1 (16 sts)
R3: *sc 1, inc 1 sc 5, inc 1* rep 2 times (20 sts) Switch to brown yarn
R4: sc 1, inc 1 sc 1, inc 5, sc 1, inc 1, sc 1, inc 1, sc 7, inc 1 (29 sts)
R5-7: sc in all 29 sts (3 rounds total at 29 sts each)
R8: sc 1, dec 1, sc 1, dec 5, sc 1, dec 1, sc 1, dec 1, sc 7, dec 1 (20 sts)
R9: sc in all 20 sts (20 sts)
Face Details
Cut out two small oval pieces of felt, each about 3/4 inch (4.5 cm) long. Cut small slits into each of the ovals and insert the safety eyes (make sure the slits you make aren’t exactly in the middle, but towards the top of the pieces). But do NOT put the safety backings on until the eyes are properly positioned on the face and the felt pieces are sewn into place.
Insert his right eye (your left when facing him) between R 2 & 3, where the arrow is pointing. Insert his left eye (your right when facing you) between R 1 & 2 where the other arrow points.
As you see, you should have about 4 1/2 sts between the felt pieces. The face is what really makes the sloth cute, so make sure you take your time to get it just right.
Now, we’ll embroider the little nose right between the eyes in the middle of the foundation chain. The nose is about 1 1/2 sts wide. Using black embroidery floss, embroider 3-4 sts across. Do not attach the safety eye backings until the felt pieces are sewn on.
Using the sewing thread and your needle, neatly sew the felt pieces to the head. You will always need more sewing thread than you think, so start with a long piece. The felt pieces should be at a slight angle, with the bottoms pointing away from each other. When you are finished sewing the eyes to the head you can attach the safety eye backings.
And there you go! The hardest part is over! Now, continue crocheting.
R10: *sc 2, dec 1* rep 5 times (15 sts) Stop and start stuffing, continuing as you work.
R11: *sc 1, dec 1* (10 sts)
R12: *dec 1* (5 sts) Finish off. Finish stuffing firmly and sew up the hole neatly since this part will be visible.
Body (using brown yarn)
R1: ch 2, 6 sc in 2nd ch from hook (6 sts)
R2: *inc 1* rep 6 times (12 sts)
R3-6: sc in all 12 sts (4 rounds total at 12 sts each)
Finish off by leaving a long tail for sewing. Stuff firmly and sew to head. The body will be positioned the same way for the long-armed sloth as for the short-armed sloth.
Arms for SHORT-armed sloth (using brown yarn)
Start with a long tail; we will use this to sew the arms to the body later.
Ch 4, starting in 2nd ch from hook, make one sl st in each of the 3 chs (3 sts)
