Clear and easy

I screamed a little when I finished the face. I made it in chunky chenille and the tail still came out crisp. Instructions are short and direct. No life story at the top, just the pattern. I left out the mane by accident and honestly it still looks cute. Gave it to a NICU donation drive. I've been asked for four more. Can't wait for more from this shop.

So cute!

Bought it at 11pm, finished by 2am, no regrets. I used a slightly bigger hook so it'd be huggable and it came out great. Already eyeing the other animals.

Five stars, no notes. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Used cotton DK and it came out roughly 8 inches.

Hands down the best Zebra pattern out there. I crochet a few evenings a week so I was nervous, but it went fine. The shaping on the muzzle is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. The nursing home craft table squealed. Mission accomplished. Very satisfying little project. The stripes is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!!

Ok this is my new favorite pattern. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before so I was nervous, but it went fine. The stripes and the mane are what make it look like an actual Zebra instead of a blob. Way better written than the free version I tried first. Thanks for a great pattern!

Very cute, one small thing

Liked it a lot. I appreciated the note about stuffing the mane firmly before closing. Made a difference. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Sewing on the muzzle took longer than the whole body, but that's amigurumi.

So happy with how my Zebra turned out. It went to the nursing home craft table and now the whole family wants one. Quick enough that I can price the finished ones reasonably. Great for beginners, fun for everyone else.

Okay WOW. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before, and this one still taught me something. The shaping on the muzzle is clever. Didn't expect that from a 'beginner' pattern. There's a picture for every tricky part, including how to attach the mane. Go get it.

Okay pattern. Used Paintbox cotton and it came out about 6 inches tall. The muzzle instructions tripped me up and I had to frog it twice.

So cute!

Yes. Just yes. I had never crocheted an amigurumi before, and this one still taught me something. I added a little scarf and it looks even cuter. Great TV-watching project. Every round has a stitch count. That alone makes this better than half the patterns I've paid for. It was for my son's nursery and it was the hit of the party.

My first amigurumi!

My Zebra is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. I'm getting back into crochet after 20 years, and this one still taught me something. My Zebra came out perfect toddler size using worsted acrylic from my stash. It's the first thing I've finished in months and that feels good. Zero complaints.

Stitch counts on every row!

Instant download, clear PDF, cute result. What else do you need? I squeeze crochet in during nap time so I was nervous, but it went fine. This got me out of a crochet slump. Used leftover scraps and it came out roughly 8 inches. Highly recommend.

Cute with a tricky mane

Very cute, minor hiccup. It was for my wife and it was the hit of the party. Pages printed a little small on my printer. Zoomed in on my tablet instead.

Love love love this pattern. I crochet a few evenings a week, and this one still taught me something. This one's for our new neighbors. Already planning the next one. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. If you're on the fence, buy it.

The mane is perfect

I rarely leave reviews but this earned one. I crochet on my breaks so I was nervous, but it went fine. I swapped the colors to match my team and it still worked perfectly. Great TV-watching project. The tail is worked in one piece, which means less sewing. Thank you!! Made it in two sittings with a 3.5mm hook. Perfect gift pattern.

I screamed a little when I finished the face. Great TV-watching project. Took me under 3 hours start to finish including sewing on the mane. The pattern tells you exactly how far apart to put the safety eyes, which is the step I always ruin. I've bought Zebra patterns from three other shops and this is the only one I finished. Already eyeing the other animals.

My Zebra is sitting on my desk right now and I can't stop smiling at it. The photos for the assembly step are what sold me. No guessing where the mane goes. Made two: one for my wife and one that is NOT leaving my house. Made it in about 4 hours with worsted acrylic from my stash. I'd forgotten how fun amigurumi is. Would give six stars if I could.

Can't stop making these

Perfect from start to finish. Big readable font, nothing crammed, and the stitch counts actually add up (I checked every single one). Chef's kiss.

Love the stripes

Love love love this pattern. I crochet a few evenings a week, and this one still taught me something. It went to my wife and now the whole family wants one. The instructions are written round by round with stitch counts at the end of every row, so I always knew if I'd messed up. Checkout was easy and the file was in my email in seconds. Perfect weekend project when you don't want to think too hard. Would give six stars if I could.

Happy with it

Cute result, took a little fiddling. It even lists how much yarn you'll need in yards, which saved me from a mid-project yarn run. Wish it came with a two-color variation, but easy to improvise.

Cute result, took a little fiddling. I sell at craft fairs so I was nervous, but it went fine. This is the kind of pattern I can make on repeat for markets. Myself, honestly squealed. Mission accomplished. My one gripe is the muzzle took a few tries to get symmetrical.
