Magic Circle- Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.

Free Crochet Tiger Pattern

Always move your stitch marker to the last stitch in the round. This pattern is worked in continuous rounds.
Snout

With white:
Round 1: SC 5 in magic circle.
Round 2: SC INC in each around. (10)

Slip stitch in the next two stitches in order to flatten the edge.

Nose

with black:
DC 10 in a magic circle. Pull tight and slip stitch to the first stitch. Pull the edges of the circle so it becomes more oval and attach to the top of the snout. You will see 5 “edges.” Sew the nose in the middle of one of those edges. Then when you attach you will have a slight point at the bottom.

Legs and Body
Note: When you get to the orange on the legs you will do two rows of orange, followed by one row of black. This pattern repeats, even when you get to the attaching of legs and until you change to the shirt color. You can find a video on how I change colors in amigurumi here.

Repeat for the second leg but do not fasten off. Instead, chain 3 and then SC in the next stitch of the other leg. Take care to crochet over the tail left over by fastening off. SC around the entire leg. When you come to the three chains, SC in each chain to the next leg. Crochet in each stitch around the other leg. SC over the chain back to the other leg. In the last SC on the last chain place your stitch marker. (This is round 11.) If you would like to see a video on how I attached the legs in an almost identical pattern click here.
