WHO IS ROLY-POLY TIGER?
Jack – the chubby tiger amigurumi is the 2nd design inside a cool collection named “Roly-Poly Mystery Collection” – a year-long collaboration between Anvi’s Granny and Hooked by Kati. The coolest thing: all the patterns are no-sew amigurumi designs, which are great for busy crocheters who don’t want to struggle with sewing tasks.
And like the name of the collection, you don’t know which animals will be there There are some real animals and some fantasy creatures, but I promise, they are all cute and fun to crochet!
Each month, on the first Friday of the month, a new pattern will be released! I am so excited to show you all the fabulous animals and even more excited to see your makes from the patterns.

WHY A TIGER?
This month’s mystery animal – Jack the tiger, was designed by me – Joy of Anvi’s Granny.
Yup, the chubby tiger amigurumi animal crochet pattern is a no-sew crochet project, isn’t it cool? With this pattern, the first time I explored a new way to join the limbs without any sewing required. Yeap, I did it!
Why the crocheted tiger is in the list of Roly Poly? For me, while I chose the animals to crochet, I kept my eyes on the holiday as well, and Jack – the amigurumi Tiger is just perfect to say hello to the Lunar New Year of Tiger.
Enjoy the year of the tiger and be mightly and charming as a tiger! I hope you will crochet Jack and his year!
And as a print-friendly version with text-only and photos separately arranged on different pages, you could easily choose to print the crochet instruction to save the ink, or crochet along with more than 40 tutorial photos.
