Ever since Yoshi’s Woolly World(Amazon link) everyone knows Mario’s cute dinosaur. In Yoshi’s Woolly World everything is made of yarn – and you are playing a crochet Yoshi. A little fun fact of the Nintendo merchandise Yoshi Yarn Amiibo(Amazon link) like the one in the back of my Yoshi: It’s a knit Yoshi as it is impossible to crochet by machine. Anyway, I’m sure that most of the people who aren’t knitters or crocheters won’t notice the difference.

I had the presence of mind to write down the pattern while I was working on my crochet Yoshi. So here it is:

I took some more photos of my little Yoshi to show you more details. I hope this will make the assembly part a bit more clear:
I know it’s a lot of sewing for this small fellow making the assembly part kind of annoying but I hope you think that it was worth all the effort. Welcome your own cuddly Yoshi Amigurumi!
My pattern is on ravelry, too! I’m happy if you link my pattern in your Yoshi project made by using this pattern. And maybe you would like to share a photo of your crochet Yoshi on my facebook page, too? ♡
