You can turn any amigurumi pattern into a plushie pattern by using super bulky yarn. However, all you get is a big amigurumi that takes as much time as it would otherwise.
That’s why, if you are really looking to crochet a last-minute present, you need a small pattern to follow along. These crocheted last-minute plushie designs with step-by-step video tutorials are here to help.
With them, you can crochet a small, cute, and super quick animal plushie that can be finished in less than 30 minutes.
I have chosen animals from the gift standards, like a bear and a bunny, to be funny like Dino and a chick plushie. So, let me inspire you next crochet gift project!
Crochet A Dino Plushie
Let’s crochet a CUTE baby dinosaur plush with this pattern presented in two parts. This will be a small sitting dinosaur holding a crochet strawberry in its arms, designed especially for spring. The strawberry is attached just below the muzzle to make it look like the dino is eating it.
The cleverness in the design comes from the use of thinner yarn for cheeks and the strawberry, as they are kinda small.
Crocheting this plushie is not difficult, even though crocheted in many parts. Wanna make it your table buddy? Try pink, yellow, or green.
Crochet A Bee Plushie
This low-sew, quick, and mini crochet bee plushie is also a not-to-be-missed recommendation for spring. Unlike the crochet bumblebee plush, it has a separate head, body, and stinger.
So, I like to call it the “bee doll squishy,” and luckily, all three parts are crocheted as a single piece. To sew-on later, we only have to sew the wings and antennae.
Wings are also unjoined crochet rounds, which is one of the cleverest things you can do in crochet. Also for antenae, knot a strand of yarn. Wanna crochet it for you?
Crochet A Bear Plushie
Whether its birthday, Anniversary or Valentine’s Day, this crochet plush bear in overalls is the ultimate present. Even with that outfit, this plushie is low-sew as we will be crocheting the outfit as the body itself.
It is gonna be a medium-sized bear doll with hugging arms that you won’t want to help but snuggle with you.
All this is thanks to the chenille yarn and the cute design of the plush. There are, however, two tutorials to learn the pattern, which is kinda helpful for beginners. Wanna crochet it?
Plushie that’s worth gifting? Here are more ideas:
Crochet A Bunny Plushie
Crochet bunny is the 2nd most irresistible animal plushie for gifting. With this pattern, let’s crochet a cute long-ear bunny plushie holding a strawberry in its arms and wearing a matching hat.
This gonna be a miniature plushie, so you can definitely use it as a keychain. Including the hat and strawberry, it is all crocheted from the super bulky velvet yarn.
So, it is huggable, squishy, and cute all around. Try to go with the pink strawberry and hat. It’s a perfect Valentine’s Day gift and a not-to-be-missed spring companion.
Crochet A Turtle Plushie
If I had to select the five most beloved crochet animals of all time, the low-sew turtle plushie would definitely be there. Let’s crochet the easiest crochet turtle plushie following this pattern.
Even with super bulky yarn, it’s so small and therefore can be finished in less than 30 minutes. This is also a base pattern for many turtle plushies, like the sunflower turtle and more.
We shall first crochet the shell, then the belly, then the legs, and lastly the head. Sewing is needed for joining the legs and head to the body. Why not crochet many for craft fairs? There are so many colors to choose from.
Last-minute plushies like that? Here are more ideas:
Crochet A Chick Plushie
This crochet chubby chick is the easiest plushie you can crochet as a last-minute gift. It’s definitely a hit for fall craft fairs, too. This is gonna be a no-sew chick plushie finished with the yarn blush and embroidery beak.
You can also crochet it with the crochet eggs, whose ideas I have already shared. You may use it as a stress toy and support companion, too.
