The Noso koala is an extremely easy to keep koala that, unlike its larger counterparts, gets by on one eucalyptus leaf, making it the perfect pet for you when you’re short on cash.

The depicted amigurumi koala has been crocheted with the “Schachenmayr Catania” yarn with a 2.5 mm crochet hook and has a height of 5 cm.

Crochet the Head, Upper Body and First Leg

The complete body is crocheted in one piece in the color Smoke Gray in spiral rounds with single crochet stitches. The following pictures show the finished body.

ATTENTION: Since the body needs in some places a little more precise description, the step-by-step pictures for the body were done in a different and better discernable color so that you can see the steps more clearly.

Therefore, always follow the written instructions for the colors to use and for possible color changes, even if the step-by-step pictures for the body are in a different color.

The first part which is crocheted in one piece consists of the head, upper body and the first leg.

Apart from the head, it is recommended to fill all parts of the body with polyfill only after all limbs have been completed.

Use the check boxes to mark your finished rounds, rows and steps.

Round 5: [7 sc, 1 increase] repeat till end of the round (27 stitches).
Round 6: Crochet 27 sc (27 stitches).
Round 7: The 2 marker threads that are used in this round will later indicate the places where the safety eyes will be attached. 6 sc, 1 sc with a marker thread, 4 sc, 1 sc with a marker thread, 15 sc (27 stitches).

Round 8-9: 2 rounds, each round 27 sc (27 stitches).
Round 10: [7 sc, 1 decrease] repeat till end of the round (24 stitches). If you use safety eyes, attach them now where the threads are.

Round 11: 1 sc, 1 decrease, [2 sc, 1 decrease] repeat 5 times, 1 sc (18 stitches).
Round 12: Fill the head with polyfill. [1 sc, 1 decrease] repeat till end of the round (12 stitches).

You now have a circle at the head that counts 24 stitches. These stitches are divided into 3 parts. From the two smaller parts, each consisting of 6 stitches, the arms will be crocheted later and from the larger part, consisting of 12 stitches, the torso.

Round 17: To separate the respective areas, proceed as follows: Separate the 1st arm. One arm area consists of 6 stitches. First, crochet 1 single crochet stitch.

Then close the arm and leg openings.

Ears: Sew the ears right and left 3 stitch rows from the center of the head onto the head.

Ear Details: Pull a Creme colored thread from a stitch in the middle of the ear, at the transition from ear to head, several times through adjacent stitches as shown in the pictures.
