“The tiger will see you one hundred times before you see it once.” -Anonymous
This pattern is not for the faint of heart – this furry beast should fit a twin-sized bed (60″ x 77″ / 154cm x 195cm) when you match gauge. Black and white sample in top photo was crocheted by Chantal Doiron and is displayed on a full size bed.
I asked my Facebook group to help me name him. Like I posted there, I wanted him fuzzy but I had a really hard time letting the fur edges be “messy” I would work on this chart, sleep on it, try again, sleep on it, tweak it, sleep, stare, sleep, fix it, sleep, etc
I have decided he is good enough now.
I am listing this pattern on both Ravelry and Etsy (unlike my previous two published patterns; they were just little squares and not worth the fees to list on Etsy, although I may add a bundle to Etsy later).
Ravelry
My Designaversary Sale is still on but I am creating a new sale for this Tiger as well. You can use any of the Designaversary codes or this new code: “TigerEyes” to get 30% off the Brotzell Tiger King and any other patterns you buy at the same time. You can use the Designaversary codes more than once but this new code is a single-use code that expires April 18, 2021. (Sale expired)
Etsy
The way Etsy does sales (and everything else) is different than Ravelry, so for my Etsy-only customers you will be able to use only the Designaversary Code found on Instagram (applicable to all my patterns) or grab Brotzell Tiger King with an automatic 30% discount until April 18, 2021. (Sale Expired)
You will receive one file containing:
- the interlocking pattern
- a one-page chart (243 x 307)
- the mosaic pattern (including instructions for an envelope border)
Now includes a bonus chart spread across multiple pages! (Single-page is good for screens, multi-page is better when printing) and, don’t forget my tutorial on reading the chart – even though it’s not really needed since I include the written instructions with every pattern: https://youtu.be/cVG9cPN0meI
The Locked Filet Mesh (LFM) interlocking crochet method uses only chain spaces and double crochets to create a mesh; two colors are worked alternately which creates the pattern.
Overlay mosaic crochet is single and double crochet stitches. The double crochet stitches cover some of the other color’s single crochet stitches to create the design. My patterns instruct you to cut your yarn at the end of each row. The back is striped but often gives a faint impression of the pattern on the front (sort of like illusion knitting). See an example here.
I have YouTube tutorials available for both crochet methods! Follow this link to get to my YouTube channel and find my other social links.

I bought the >$50cad using ur code earlier & wanted to get this tiger too, but applying the code does nothing – still charges me full price. 🙁 help!
Hmm, it is supposed to be applicable to this pattern too. Let me play with some settings and see if we can get this fixed.
I have checked all the settings and it seems to be set up right. Can you try again? Maybe it just needed more time for their system to sync everything up?
Isnt taking anything off. Maybe its because i bought >$50cad before the discount code, but is only $35cad after discount code last time? 🙁
Ohhhh like maybe it wants you to have another $50 in your history? I guess that is possible, it isn’t really worded like that but I could understand if the program is set up like that. Ok, I will send a new code in the newsletter, give me a few minutes to get that done 😉
Try “Tiger50” to get 50% off if you’ve already spent $50
Thats acting the same. 🙁
Hmm, if you haven’t spent $50 then it won’t work. There are still 4 other codes to use or you could pick a few more patterns to reach $50 😉
I purchased your beautiful Tiger pattern, but can’t find the chart in the download. Help?
I emailed you about this, waiting on an answer or solution. thank you!

Hello! Thanks for reaching out!
The file includes the written instructions for interlocking crochet, then a one-page chart, and then the written instructions for mosaic crochet.
Most of my customers use a screen (phone, tablet, computer) and prefer the one-page chart but if you need it broken into more pages I can do that too. There are no x’s on it (some peope are used to that with mosaic crochet) but most people have found the written instructions sufficient, plus you can read the chart like this:Â https://youtu.be/cVG9cPN0meI
Hope that helps!
Hello,
I boutht the pattern of the Tiger.
Is it so that it go as the blankets of Tinna.
I AM a starter and I Just know here technique.
Kindley regards, Ellen
Yes, I believe all of her patterns are the same technique as mine (the big mosaic group on Facebook calls it “overlay mosaic”). I think the difference will be that my charts don’t have x’s but my patterns do include written line-by-line instructions. I have some YouTube tutorials!
