Even my husband liked it

Yes. Just yes. I liked that the color changes for the white cheeks are spelled out instead of just 'switch colors here'. Emailed a question about the white cheeks and got a friendly reply the same day. Went up to bulky yarn and now it's a full-on pillow. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

So cute!

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Buying the whole set next.

This Tiger came out SO cute. I checked and the shop allows selling finished items, which is why I bought it.

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. Second pattern I've bought from Willis and both were great. Go get it.

Mixed feelings

Decent, but I expected a bit more. I've made maybe a dozen amigurumi and this was perfect for me. A church bazaar squealed. Mission accomplished. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. I expected more hand-holding for a 'beginner' pattern on the stripes section.

Tasha F.
Great, minor notes

Good value, a few notes. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Sewing on the tail took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi.

Would buy again

Great pattern, not quite perfect. Added a keychain loop to the top, now it lives on my bag. A left-handed note would've been nice, but I figured it out.

Good pattern

Great pattern, not quite perfect. I'm newly retired and finally have time so I was nervous, but it went fine. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. My Tiger came out small enough for a keychain using Lion Brand Pound of Love. Gave it to a church bazaar. I've been asked for four more. My one gripe is the stripes took a few tries to get symmetrical.

Love the white cheeks

Hands down the best Tiger pattern out there. Made two: one for my dog-obsessed sister and one that is NOT leaving my house. Buying the whole set next.

Great gift

Five stars, no notes. Crocheting this was honestly relaxing. I left out the stripes by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Perfect gift pattern.

Yes. Just yes. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before, and this one still taught me something. Clear US terms, abbreviations listed up front, no weird jargon. I left out the ears by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Thanks for a great pattern!

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? Made it for a classroom prize box and they have not put it down since. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Finished my Tiger last night! I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. This one's for our new neighbors. Already planning the next one. Chef's kiss.

Best Tiger pattern

This Tiger came out SO cute. The proportions are spot on. The tail is the perfect size. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great.

Best Tiger pattern

My Tiger is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I'm newly retired and finally have time and this was perfect for me. Gave it to my niece. I've been asked for four more. I appreciated the note about stuffing the white cheeks firmly before closing. Made a difference. Used velvet yarn (not recommended for beginners!) and it came out palm-sized. I've bought Tiger patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. My new go-to gift.

Jean Kowalski
Easy and cute

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. Very satisfying little project. Made a mini version with thinner yarn and the proportions held up. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

S
Sarah R.
Adorable and easy

This pattern made me feel like I actually know what I'm doing. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the stripes. Made two: one for my son's nursery and one that is NOT leaving my house. Will be making this again.

Can't stop making these

Easiest pattern I've bought in a long time. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before, and this one still taught me something. Took me one lazy Sunday start to finish including sewing on the tail. Emailed a question about the tail and got a friendly reply the same day. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Gave it to myself, honestly. I've been asked for four more.

N
Nia Stewart
Clear and easy

My Tiger is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. It went to my daughter and now the whole family wants one. Compared to the ones on Etsy this was cheaper and clearer. Highly recommend.

Love it

This was a joy to make. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. Finished in one evening. The stripes is my favorite part. It went to the nursing home craft table and now the whole family wants one. Emailed a question about the stripes and got a friendly reply the same day. Can't wait for more from this shop.

Exactly as pictured

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I'm left-handed and usually struggle with patterns, and this one still taught me something. Used cotton DK and it came out a chunky 10 inches with bulky yarn. Gave it to my dog-obsessed sister. I've been asked for four more. Very satisfying little project. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. If you're on the fence, buy it.

10/10

This was a joy to make. I sell at craft fairs, and this one still taught me something. I appreciated the note about stuffing the ears firmly before closing. Made a difference. It actually looks like the photo, which is rare for me. Customers at my booth keep asking which one is the Tiger. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. Go get it.

P

Love love love this pattern. I now own six of their patterns. Zero duds. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. Adding the bundle to my cart as I type this.

Five stars, no notes. Crochet is my anxiety outlet and I had no trouble at all. This got me out of a crochet slump. Emailed a question about the stripes and got a friendly reply the same day. Highly recommend.
