If I can’t take my hamster, I’m not going !

This pattern will guide you to crochet an amigurumi hamster as shown in pictures, made using 8 ply / DK soft acrylic yarn and crochet hook E (3.5 mm).
Finished size will be approx. 7.8" (20 cm) tall. This pattern is also suitable for wool or cotton yarn.

The hamster’s head, body and legs are crocheted together as 1 part.

All parts, except ears and fingers, are worked up in continuous rounds.
