A warm amigurumi project highlighted by soft handmade details and a lovely love theme.
This free quokka amigurumi pattern is designed by Kseniya (@vooot_takoi) and features an adorable quokka holding a heart. Quokkas are small marsupials native to Australia, well known for their friendly, almost smiling expressions, which makes this design especially charming and heartwarming. With its sweet look and heart detail, this quokka is a lovely choice for handmade gift ideas or small, love-themed amigurumi projects. You will also find inspiring amigurumi quokka ideas shared at the end of the pattern, and we sincerely thank @vooot_takoi (VK) for sharing this beautiful design.

This is an easy amigurumi pattern written using basic stitches only. It is suitable for crocheters with basic amigurumi experience and does not require complex shaping. Difficulty Level: Easy, and it also works well as a Quick to Make Amigurumi, since the final step only involves sewing the heart to the paws.

The pattern is designed using YarnArt Jeans, Alize Cotton Gold, or Gazzal Baby Cotton yarn for a clean and well-defined finish. Beige yarn is used for the body, while pink yarn adds the heart and cheek details. You will also need a 1.75 mm crochet hook, safety eyes or beads, fiberfill stuffing, and basic tools.
