Free version of the pattern (video tutorial) available at: https://www.sweetsofties.com/2026/03/pocket-capybara.html

The Pocket Capybara is a quick, easy, and no-sew amigurumi that is designed with plush yarn. With this crochet pattern, you can whip up your own mini capybara pet that’s 3.5 inches in length! It can be crocheted using thinner yarns and a smaller hook if desired, and it’s perfect for making into a keychain or hanging ornament. The Pocket Capybara is also a great last-minute gift, party favor, stocking stuffer, class gift, or craft fair product.

The PDF pattern includes clear written instructions and progress photos as part of a detailed photo tutorial to guide beginners through the doll-making process. Also included is a free printable capybara-themed Adoption Certificate to gift with the doll!
