About FreshStitches

The idea for FreshStitches began in 2008 when crochet designer, Stacey Trock, noticed a distinct lack of patterns for big and cuddly stuffed animals. A handful of adorable designs later- FreshStitches was born! Since then, FreshStitches patterns have become legendary for their cuteness, detailed instructions and step-by-step photos. Using the abundance of help and information in the patterns, numerous crocheters have crocheted a FreshStitches animal as their first crochet project! ...more

Mosquito Crochet Pattern

Meet Dale the Mosquito

Normally, mosquitoes are pretty annoying… but not Dale! He’s too oversized to do too much buzzing around! Dale measures 3 inches tall and 6 inches long when completed.

This mosquito is a great first-time pattern… I often use him to teach folks new to amigurumi! The pattern uses only single crochet, and he only takes a couple of hours to complete.

Materials Required

Ella Rae Classic is the yarn used in the sample: Grey (40 yds) and white (20 yds). This pattern can be used with any weight yarn, but plan on using more yardage for bulkier yarns.
