We first start making koala amigurumi from the head.
Head
1 Rnd: 6 MR
2 Rnd: 6 inc =12
3 Rnd: (1 sc, inc)x6 times = 18
4 Rnd: (2 sc, inc)x6 times = 24
5 Rnd: (3 sc, inc)x6 times = 30
6 Rnd: (4 sc, inc)x6 times = 36
7 Rnd: (5 sc, inc)x6 times = 42
8 Rnd: (6 sc, inc)x6 times = 48
9 Rnd: 48
10 Rnd: (7 sc, inc)x times = 54
11-14 Rnd: 54
15 Rnd: (8 sc, inc)x6 times = 60
16 Rnd: (9 sc, inc)x6 times = 66
17-18 Rnd: 66
19 Rnd: (9 sc, dec)x6 times = 60
20 Rnd: (8 sc, dec)x6 times = 54
21 Rnd: (7 sc, dec)x6 times = 48
22 Rnd: (6 sc, dec)x6 times = 42
Between 14 and 15 we insert eyes next to each other at a distance of 9 st.
23 Rnd: (5 sc, dec)x6 times = З6
24 Rnd: (4 sc, dec)x6 times = 30
25 Rnd: (З sc, dec)x6 times = 24
26 Rnd: (2 sc, dec)x6 times = 18
27 Rnd: (1 sc, dec)x6 times = 12
28 Rnd: 6 dec
Tighten the hole, cut and hide the yarn.
Now we’re going to make the nose. Koala is quite decisive and has a large nose.
Nose
1 Rnd: 6 ch, with 2 from the hook, inc, 3 sc, 4 sc in 1 loop З sc, inc = 14
2 Rnd: 2 inc, З sc, 4 inc, 3 sc, 2 inc = 22
Leave the yarn for sewing.
Now we are making tiny cheeks.
Cheeks

Next part, ears. Ears are made in a standard way.

2 Rnd: 2 inc, З sc, 4 inc, З sc, 2 inc = 22
3-6 Rnd: 22
7 Rnd: 6 sc, 5 dec, 6 sc = 17
8 Rnd: 4 sc, (sc, dec)x3 times , 4 sc = 14
9 Rnd: (5 sc, dec)x2 times = 12
10-11 Rnd: 12
12 Rnd: (3 sc, inc)x3 times =15
13-16 Rnd: = 15
17 Rnd: (3 sc, dec)x3 times =12
Fold in half and crochet 6 sc. Fasten the yarn, cut and hide.
Now we are finally making the body of the koala.
