Long-Neck Sloth Bag Charm Crochet Pattern

A very long neck, four little claws, and a face that has clearly given up on hurrying.

The Long-Neck Sloth is a 30 cm amigurumi bag charm with a 55-round unstuffed neck that flops, drapes and hangs over anything you loop it around — a handbag strap, a backpack, a rear-view mirror, the corner of a door. That flop is the entire character of the toy, and the pattern is built around it.

Why You'll Love This Pattern:

• One ball of yarn — a single 50 g ball of YarnArt Jeans makes the whole sloth, plus scraps of white and brown for the eyes, claws and nose. A true stash-buster.
• Legs, body, neck and head are one continuous piece — no seaming the body together, no join line, no lumpy neck attachment.
• Arms crocheted straight into the body as you pass Rnd 16, with a detailed explanation of exactly how to work those 3 sc through both layers.
• Four stitches only — magic ring, single crochet, increase, decrease. Plus back loops for the claw placement.
• Poseable if you want it — leave the neck soft for the classic flop, or thread a pipe cleaner up it to hold a pose. The pattern tells you where and when.
• Every round has its stitch count and repeats are written as clear brackets.
• Sells beautifully at markets — small, fast, funny, and people pick them up.
