It felt like I couldn’t let my American crafters down. Many lovely crocheters in the US have been supporting me ever since I started designing crochet patterns. Many of my favourite animals are very similar in Europe and the Americas, but the badger isn’t. And how could I not make one of my most beloved creatures in another coat?! So here is Chumpie, a crochet American badger!
This took me much longer than I anticipated. I thought I could easily convert Broebel into the striking US badger, but the stripes are so different and so much more complex that it took me many attempts to get it right. But that only makes it more rewarding to finally show you the finished badger.
This pattern is very similar to Broebel, except for the head and the start of the body. So, like Broebel, Chumpie slowly takes shape as you make it. You only need to attach the nose and ears afterwards. The paws are attached seamlessly with an easy trick. Broebel and Chumpie may wear different stripes, but they’ve clearly got the same cozy feel. I really love how this picture shows the two of them.
Here are more pictures of Chumpie the American badger amigurumi, followed by information about the pattern and links to buy it. You can also buy it directly from me using this link; I’ll then email the pattern manually.
This is an easy pattern made with basic stitches, with each step explained in detail to ensure that even beginners can create this realistic badger amigurumi. My pattern format includes instructions like ‘sc in next, 2 sc in next, invdec,’ etc. I chose this format because it works better for creating realistic amigurumi. Also, all my pattern are worked yarn under.
This crochet badger is made with Istex Lett Lopi (a 100% wool yarn known for its fuzziness), and it measures 6.6 inch / 17 cm, measured from nose to tail. The pattern includes clear and colour-coded instructions on how to crochet and assemble the doll, along with instructional images with extra notes. You’ll also find pictures of the finished doll at the end.
