This free crochet capybara pattern makes a calm, barrel-shaped amigurumi capybara with sleepy eyes and a little orange balanced on its head. The capybara plushie is caramel brown with a blunt tan snout, tiny round ears, pink cheeks and small paws held in front, and the orange has its own stem and a green leaf. It is worked in the round in single crochet with DK yarn and a 2.5 mm hook and ends up about 14 cm (5.5 in) tall; the body and head are one piece, and the eyes, nostrils and claws are embroidered. Follow it row by row with stitch counts and turn the interactive 3D model to see where the snout, ears and orange are sewn.

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.
Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.
The whole face is embroidered. Order: the eyes (black satin), then the white glints over them, then the nose and mouth, blush last. Mark the centres with pins first and compare with the picture. Bring thread ends out where a sewn-on piece will cover them, or bury them in the stuffing.
