Here’s a pair of rascally crochet chipmunk amigurumis inspired by Chip & Dale! I’ve written them up as a playful free crochet pattern you’ll go nuts over!
I first created this pair when I needed a special gift for a dear friend’s birthday and I knew she loved these playful chipmunks.
You can use the same pattern to create the pair. They just have minor differences between the two of them. One has a dark chocolate coloring and the other a more golden, or mustard coloring. One has a black nose or (chocolate chip as I like to call it) and the other one a slightly larger, red nose.
Anyways I always got confused between which chipmunk was which until my sis told me that you can distinguish between Chip and Dale because Chip is the one with the Chocolate Chip on his nose. So a lightbulb went off, and I’ve remembered ever since then!
I thought I’d do a fun photo concept for their pictures. Here they are, best friends throughout all the seasons.
In the Fall when the leaves are changing into beautiful colors.
In Winter when the branches are bare and pinecones are on the ground. Hope they saved enough acorns for the winter!
And in Spring, when flowers are blooming!
And in Summer, when the days are hot and they can enjoy some icy treats by the water!
Anyways, I hope you’ll enjoy making this cute pair. If you do create these crochet chipmunk amigurumis, be sure to tag me on my Instagram with your project so I get to see!

April 21, 2020 at 10:00 amI think that there is a mistake at round 6 of the body. It would be sc2tog, sc in next 2 at (18). If I do it as shown I get 16 st.
Lovely pattern!! Thanks!!

February 25, 2021 at 10:49 amI’m rather new at crocheting. I made baby Yoda. He came out super cute. I’m struggling with the ears on this chipmunk pattern. Every time I make them, they are circular in shape at the end and not triangles. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Is there something you could think of that I might be doing wrong? Thank you!

February 25, 2021 at 11:27 amThere is a video tutorial for the Chipmunk on my YouTube channel so I hope that can help. The only thing I can think of right now is to make sure that the first round has 4 sts in it, and then all the other rounds after it should be at 8 sts only. Check to make sure that you’re not increasing any sts after Round 2 and that each round is at 8 sts afterwards.
