Description

This is my realistic Koala Crochet Pattern. It is ideal for intermediate and practised crocheters. Kalina the Koala would make a great addition to your crochet animal collection!

Size
The size of the koala depends on your yarn choice. If you use bulky (chunky/12-14 Ply) yarn and a 5 mm (H) hook for the large body parts, your koala will be approximately 12 inches tall (like the darker chenille yarn koala).
If you use super bulky (super chunky/16 Ply) yarn and a 7 mm (K) hook, your koala will be approximately 16 inches tall (like the lighter faux-fur yarn koala).
If you want it to be larger, smaller or anything in between, you can use a different yarn weight and adjust the hook size accordingly.

Construction
The fingers and toes are connected and sewn onto the arms and legs, which are crocheted onto the body. The chin, nose, ears, and head are sewn on.
