How about making a capybara amigurumi toy? I will share with you how to make the beginner capybara Jack amigurumi toy and its instructions. First of all, I would like to thank the designer for this wonderful capybara. The yarn brand required to make the capybara is not specified, but you can use a conventional yarn. In addition, a crochet hook suitable for the yarn will be more than enough for you.

We start making the capybara amigurumi toy with the head first. When you crochet the capybara’s head, which has a very large head, you will have done almost half of the work.
Head
With brown yarn
1. 6 sc inc = (6)
2. 6 inc = (12)
3. (1 inc, 1 sc) x 6 = (18)
4. (1 inc, 2 sc) x 6 = (24)
5. (1 inc, 3 sc) x 6 = (30)
6 to 10. 30 sc = (30)
With black yarn, embroider the snout.
11. 9 sc, (1 inc, 1 sc) x 6, 9 sc = (36)
12 to 18. 36 sc = (36)
Insert the eyes between rows 16 and 17.
19. (1 dec, 4 sc) x 6 = (30)
20. (1 dec, 3 sc) x 6 = (24)
21. (1 dec, 2 sc) x 6 = (18)
Stuff.
22. (1 dec, 1 sc) x 6 = (12)
23. 6 dec = (6)
Close with magic ring.
You need to place the capybara’s eyes between rounds 16 and 17. You can tighten it a little. You also need to fill the toy’s head while crocheting it. You will also need black yarn for the toy’s nose.
Body
1. MR 6 sc = (6)
2. 6 inc = (12)
3. (1 inc, 1 sc) x 6 = (18)
4. (1 inc, 2 sc) x 6 = (24)
5. (1 inc, 3 sc) x 6 = (30)
6. (1 inc, 4 sc) x 6 = (36)
7. (1 inc, 5 sc) x 6 = (42)
8 to 11. 42 sc = (42)
12. 15 sc, 6 dec, 15 sc = (36)
13. 36 sc = (36)
14. 12 sc, 6 dec, 12 sc = (30)
15. 30 sc = (30)
16. (1 dec, 3 sc) x 6 = (24)
17 and 18. 24 sc = (24)
Leave the yarn long for sewing.
The toy has an oval body design and we will do this process by increasing and decreasing. Then we need to crochet the toy’s pins. After crocheting the tiny ears, you need to sew them to the toy’s head as explained in the amigurumi instructions.
Ears (2)
1. MR 8 sc = (8)
Make 2 more sc,
Fasten off and leave the thread long to sew between rows 18 and 19.
Although the tail of the toy is not visible in the photo, we see that it has a tiny tail in the amigurumi instructions. The instructions say to sew it to the 4th and 5th rounds of the body.
Tail
Make 7 ch, return from the second ch making 6 inc = (12)
Sew between rows 4 and 5 of the body.
Now we will crochet the arms of the toy. Although the arms seem long, they are a little shorter than the legs. You can understand this from the number of rounds. The arms of the toy are lightly stuffed.
Arm (2)
Start with brown yarn
1. MR 6 sc = (6)
2. 6 inc = (12)
3. Blo 12 sc = (12)
4. (1 dec, 4 sc) x 2 = (10)
Change to brown yarn
5. Blo 10 sc = (10)
6 to 8. 10 sc = (10)
9. (1 dec, 3 sc) x 2 = (8)
10 and 11. 8 sc = (8)
No need to add stuffing. Fold the piece in half and make 4 sc joining the stitches on both sides, closing the piece.
Finally, we will crochet the legs of the toy. Two different shades of brown are used on the capybara’s arms and legs. Please remember this detail.
Leg (2)
Start with brown yarn
1. MR 6 sc = (6)
2. 6 inc = (12)
3. (1 inc, 2 sc) x 6 = (18)
4. Blo 18 sc = (18)
5. 3 sc, 6 dec, 3 sc = (12)
6. 12 sc = (12)
Change to brown yarn
7. Blo 12 sc = (12)
8. (1 inc, 1 sc) x 6 = (18)
9 and 10. 18 = (18)
Insert stuffing.
11. (1 dec, 1 sc) x 6 = (12)
12. 6 dec = (6)
Close with magic ring.
That’s it! Capybara Jack amigurumi toy is ready!
