Sharing a few of Crochet Stuffed Animals that my 13-year-old teen enjoyed making over winter break this year. These are all patterns that can easily be completed within a day or two and the stuffies turn out SO cute!
On my blog, I share a lot of easy crocheting, and I love that my daughter enjoys playing with yarn as much as I do. Recently, I shared this fun How To Make a Plushie At Home Tutorial, and that inspired my daughter to try and make something similar using yarn. She searched online for crochet stuffed animals patterns free pdfs/ videos and made all of these cute animals! Each one of them turned out to be cuter than the previous one!
