Little Zoo Crochet Zebra

Another free crochet toy pattern in the Little Zoo collection, the Little Zoo Crochet Zebra brings its sweet personality to the crochet party. With its big ears, zigzag stripes, and ruffly mohawk hairstyle, this zebra just begs to be squeezed. It is also a very functional amigurumi doll; its legs work so that it can sit or stand while it keeps the other Little Zoo animals company. This collection is a great idea for a crochet project to work on throughout the next few months, and once you're done, your child will have a full set. These would make excellent Christmas or birthday gifts.
