Colorado Beetle Crochet Pattern — Beetle Amigurumi PDF in English

The Colorado Potato Beetle is one of the most recognisable insects in the world — those bold yellow and black stripes are instantly iconic. Originally from the Rocky Mountains, it spread across the globe and became famous as the potato plant’s most notorious nemesis. In yarn form, though, it’s cute.

The PDF is written in English (US crochet terminology) and includes many step-by-step photos to guide you through the process.

Skill level: Intermediate — you should be comfortable with magic circle, crocheting in a spiral, increases, invisible decreases, and basic sewing.

Required materials:

• Yarn — I used Gazzal Baby Cotton in yellow, black, and orange tones
• Hook — 1.50 mm
• Safety eyes — 6 mm diameter
• Hollowfibre stuffing
• Wire for legs (optional, for posing)
• Tapestry needle, stitch marker, pins

What you’ll receive: An instant digital download PDF file — not a finished toy. No physical item will be shipped.
