US English pattern by Jen Hayes Creations. Includes step-by-step pictures.

I think squirrels are one of those animals that delight the outdoor, creature-loving heart starting from a young age. The reminiscence of trees, lakes, campfires, and hikes in the great outdoors.

So it is with these fond memories and excitement that I share the opportunity for you to make your own Crochet Squirrel. Whether you too want to reminisce on the outdoors or create an adorable squirrel for imaginative play, as a gift, or as fun woodland decoration!

The acorns seen in some of the images are from a pattern that can be found separately in the shop. It comes with directions for making acorns in three different sizes.
