Guinea Pig

What you need:

1 ball of effect yarn (the "fluffy" kind), preferrably in beige or light brown
1 ball of beige wool
2 plastic eyes
a black thread for the snout
1 crocheting needle

The guinea pig is probably one of the easiest stuffed animals you will crochet. Why? All you need to do is produce an oval-shaped body, the ears and feet and that's it basically. Here's how you do it:

Body
Start by crocheting a disc (as shown in previous tutorials) and increase round by round until you arrive at a satisfying size. Then continue to crochet without increasing or decreasing until you have a satisfying length, as well. Then decrease and make sure to stuff the animal with batting before you close off the body.

Ears
Crochet a row of 4 stitches with the beige wool. Then decrease by taking two stitches together. Repeat that in round 3. Sew the ears onto the body.

Feet
Start by crocheting a tiny disc. Increase in round two and immediately decrease in round three, so that you get a voluminous effect. Sew the feet onto the body.

Face
Stitch on a snout by using the black or alternatively brown thread (depending on the shade and thickness of the wool). Glue on the plastic eyes.

Say hello to your little guniea piggy!
