Check out this adorable free crab plush sewing pattern from Nana Biscotte – Surimi is a quirky little crustacean that makes such a fun handmade gift. The original post is written in French, but you can easily translate it in your browser with a single click. What’s more, you can download the pattern directly without creating an account.
The finished cuddly crab measures about 10×10 inches (25×25 cm) including its sweet legs. Keep in mind that seam allowances are not included, so remember to add them when cutting out your pieces. While best suited for intermediate sewers, patient beginners can definitely make it by taking their time on the smaller curves. Soft fabrics like minky or short-pile velvet work best for the body, while colorful cotton scraps are great for mixing and matching patterned legs. Use soft felt for the eyes to keep everything baby-safe. Grab some fabric scraps and sew up this delightful DIY plush friend!
