Chikee the Cheetah Amigurumi Crochet Kit

Cheetahs are built for speed. Everything about them is streamlined, from the long legs to the deep chest to that distinctive black tear line running down the face. They're the fastest land animal on the planet, and one of the most striking.

This amigurumi captures the look with Soft Cotton DK yarn. The spots are embroidered in Boston Black over the Sienna Ocre body, so you get that signature print without needing to manage color changes mid-round. A solid project for anyone with basic to intermediate crochet experience.

Designed by Sónia Viera, with pattern testing by Hennie.
