About this Pattern:
The first time I came across a quokka was in a video on Instagram. I was sure it must be AI. But lo and behold, it's an actual animal! I couldn't believe that this adorable little creature was real. Of course, I had to turn it into a crochet pattern. 

This free quokka C2C crochet pattern is perfect for creating a cute baby blanket or nursery decoration. The pattern uses DK yarn and a 3.0 mm hook and is suitable for anyone familiar with corner-to-corner crochet. Below you'll find the materials list, finished size, colour counts and some fun facts about the adorable quokka.

Materials:
  • 3.0 mm hook
  • darning needle to weave in ends
  • DK yarn
  • scissors
  • optional: stitch markers

Yarn colours:
Dark brown
Medium brown
Brown 
Black
White
Pink
Green
Any colour you wish to use for the background. Pics below for inspo.

Colour Counts:
The 50 x 60 grid contains 3,000 squares in total. Here is the number of squares for each colour:
Dark brown: 214
Medium brown: 135
Brown: 833
Black: 56
White: 2
Pink: 17
Green: 57
Background: 1686

The colour counts tell you how many squares of each colour are used in the graph. They don't tell you exactly how much yarn you'll need, as this can vary depending on your yarn, hook size and tension.

Size:
With a 3.0 mm hook and DK yarn, my finished project measures approximately 72 x 87 cm (28 x 34 inches). However, the finished size may vary depending on your yarn weight, hook size, and tension.

Fun Facts About the Quokka

1. They look like they're always smiling!
Quokkas are famous for their adorable little smiles. Their mouth naturally curves into a happy-looking expression, which has made them one of the internet's favourite animals. But don't be fooled—the quokka isn't actually smiling because it's happy!

2. They are related to kangaroos.
Quokkas are marsupials, just like kangaroos and wallabies. They even have a pouch where their babies, called joeys, grow and develop. Despite their cute and cuddly appearance, they are actually quite closely related to kangaroos.

3. They can climb trees!
You might not expect such a tiny, round-looking animal to be a good climber, but quokkas can climb surprisingly well. They sometimes climb into low trees and shrubs to find food.

4. They can survive for a surprisingly long time without drinking.
Quokkas get much of the water they need from the plants they eat. They are well adapted to their dry environment and can survive for long periods with very little fresh water.

5. Baby quokkas are called joeys.
A newborn quokka is incredibly tiny: about the size of a grain of rice! After being born, the tiny joey makes its way into its mother's pouch, where it continues to grow and develop for several months.

6. They are mostly active at night.
Quokkas are mainly nocturnal, which means they are most active after dark. During the hot Australian days, they usually rest in shady areas and save their energy for the cooler hours.

FAQ

Can I make this C2C Quokka with a different yarn weight?
Yes, definitely! Keep in mind that using a different yarn weight can change the finished size of your project quite a bit. I recommend making a small swatch first to see how your yarn and hook combination affects the size before starting the entire project.

Can I sell finished projects made from this pattern?
Yes! Feel free to sell finished C2C Quokka projects made from this pattern. I would really appreciate it if you credited Kate's Cozy Crochet as the pattern designer.
