Today I would like to share with you the crochet pattern of how to make a bull named Yashka, designed by Svetlana Glotova. The height of the crochet toy is approximately 17 cm. The designer used YarnArt Jeans yarn and 2 mm crochet hook to make this bull. While the legs and body of our bull are crocheted in one piece, the other parts are made separately and sewn. You will also learn how to make a scarf to decorate our crochet toy from the explanation.
Yashka the Bull Amigurumi Pattern
Since the stages of making the bull are explained to us with many visuals, making a bull amigurumi toy will be a little easier. Now that you are ready, let’s start and make the toy by following the instructions.
With these materials, the bull is approximately 17 cm in size.
(Provided that you crochet # 2 … if your hook is larger, then the toy will turn out to be larger) You can use a different yarn and, accordingly, the toy will be of different sizes.

At this round, you need to insert the eyes between 9 and 10 rows at a distance of 10 st between them. (10 sts are 5 inc of the 9th row) Cut a circle out of felt (I have foamiran) as follows: put the cap from the eye on the felt, circle it, cut it out at a distance of 1 mm from the drawing line. Make a hole in the circle (not in the middle, but closer to the edge), insert the eyes. Now we insert into the head.

We stuff the head as we crochet the head. Try to stuff it very tightly.
Face tightening
To begin with, we make a tightening.
We outline the places for tightening with pins (see photo).
Tightening using a needle with a yarn of the color of the muzzle (the yarn with which the muzzle was knitted).
First, insert the needle from the bottom of the head (so that the tip is fixed), draw out the yarn at point 1, then insert the needle at point 3 and return to point 1.
Now draw the needle at point 5 and return to point 1. These were tightenings in the eye area. The next step is to introduce the needle to point 4, then to point 2 and return to point 4. Return to point 1. Fasten the yarn.
We make the nostrils.
We outline 2 points for the nostrils. We introduce the yarn at one of the points, then into the next nostril, pull it down.
