Hello, my dear followers! Today, I’m excited to share with you the Sandy Cheeks Crochet Squirrel Pattern. This adorable squirrel amigurumi, inspired by the beloved character, is available for free! However, this pattern is quite advanced and is best suited for experienced crocheters. With a few intricate steps, you’ll be able to create a charming Sandy Cheeks squirrel with the stunning details you see in the photo.
Sandy Cheeks Squirrel Amigurumi Pattern
One of the key steps in creating this beautiful crochet squirrel is using plastic to achieve the desired body shape. The finished Sandy Cheeks doll will stand at 23 cm tall. If you’d like to add some flexibility to the toy, you can incorporate wire into the arms, legs, and especially the neck. This will allow you to bend and pose your amigurumi, ensuring it stays intact without losing its form.
If you’re ready to take on this advanced crochet challenge, let’s get started and bring Sandy Cheeks to life!

Acorn patch:
We crochet a small square or cut it out of yellow felt. We also cut acorns from felt. I sewed the crochet square onto it and then glued the acorn shape with textile glue. I also embroidered the zipper.

The circles can also be cut out of felt and glued to the boots. Or crochet 6 or 8 sc in magic ring with red, sew to the boots. Make 4 pieces.
