Crochet pattern Micro Koala 2 cm [0.8 in]

Hi there! How about crocheting a cute little Koala?! These tiny creatures are so touching – you’ll have to make more than one because you just can’t leave the first one all by itself!
When using the materials listed (one strand of embroidery floss and a 0.5 mm crochet hook [US Steel Crochet Hook Size 18]), the resulting toy will be 2 cm [0.8 in] tall.
Materials and tools.

• Embroidery floss in Main Color, skein separated (stripped) into individual strands. (I use Iris or DMC brand cotton embroidery floss). May be substituted with thin sewing thread. The thinner the thread, the smaller the toy will turn out.
• Thin white bouclé-type novelty yarn. I used Alpina Baby.
• Black sewing thread or embroidery floss for nose, eyebrows and claws.
• Rip-resistant thread for cinching. (I used sturdy sewing thread held double.)
• Crochet hook 0.5 mm [US Steel Crochet Hook Size 18].
• Glass toy eyes, diameter 1 mm. (What to do if eyes in this size are not available? You can make your own from polymer clay and cover them with a glossy enamel finish, or use seed beads.)
• Glue gel, “Moment” brand super glue.
• Thin beading needle, diameter 0.45 mm [0.02 in]
• Sharp nail scissors.
• Stuffing (polyester fiberfil).
• A toothpick or broken felting needle – used to insert stuffing.
• For blushing – watercolors and toothpick.
