For me, Eeyore might be a sad character but seeing him always brings a smile to my face. I think that is because I grew up loving Winnie the Pooh and even had a bedroom full of Pooh and friends decor. I always wished I could give Eeyore a hug to cheer him up. Now that I can crochet amigurumi, I wanted to create an Eeyore crochet plush to hug. I hope that sharing this pattern brings you back to simpler times in life or brings joy to your loved ones as a gift. And if you need some cheering up, always remember this quote from Eeyore, “The nicest thing about the rain is that it always stops. Eventually.”
For this pattern, I used Premier Parfait Chunky yarn (which is my favorite yarn) for a soft pastel look. Click here to get Premier yarn for this project.

- Magic ring – Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in the 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. There are many wonderful YouTube videos on how to make a magic circle if you are a visual learner! Always move your stitch marker to the last stitch in the round.
