Sloth Crochet Patterns
My son has developed a sudden fascination with the sloth that lives at our local zoo and suddenly those sleepy little animals seem to be everywhere I look…
Notebooks, lunch boxes and of course… sloth crochet patterns!
Oh my, these creatures are so cute and cuddly that your family and friends will be lining up to have you make one for them!
Make sure you scroll through this whole collection because as well as fabulous toy sloths I also found the cutest curtain tie backs, a tote bag and a fabulous hat and glove set!
1 | Amigurumi Baby Sloth
Fingerlings are all the rage around here right now so when I saw this finger sized baby sloth pattern I knew I just had to tell you about it! Just be sure you don’t stop at just one because this little guy needs a friend!

Speaking of little guys… how CUTE is Zippy the baby sloth? So teeny tiny and so cute! I love how there are two variations to this pattern so you can make hime with long arms, just perfect for hanging around, or short arms, if you don’t have someplace for him to hang!
