Animal crochet charts

Animal motifs are the most-requested charts in colorwork crochet, and the simplest to actually finish: one or two colors, a clean silhouette, and a grid you can count without losing your place. Every chart here includes numbered gridlines, a materials estimate in real yarn colorways, and written row-by-row instructions.

Each pattern opens directly in the free chart editor, so you can resize it, recolor it to the yarn in your stash, or drop it into a bigger blanket layout before you print.

Questions makers ask

What size are these animal charts?

Most charts are 50×50 or 60×60 stitches — a comfortable pillow-front or afghan-square size in worsted-weight yarn, or a small hoop piece in cross-stitch. Open any chart in the editor and use the pattern resizer if you need a different gauge.

Can I put several animals into one blanket?

Yes. Open a chart in the editor, copy its SLPN pattern code, and paste motifs side by side on a larger canvas — or work each animal as its own square and join them graphgan-style.

Are these charts really free?

Yes — every chart on StitchingLab is free, including the grid, the materials list, and the written instructions. No account needed.
