Free Crochet Flying Capybara Pattern for Kids

Today, I have a very fun and different variation of sleeping capybara amigurumi. So, in this post, there will be a free written pattern to crochet a flying capybara amigurumi that is of medium size.

This amigurumi capybara will be crocheted in three parts (the head, body, and cape), so you can call it low-sew. I have named it superhero capybara, but with the sleeping eye embroidery, it looks funny.
