Felt Wolf
We get a lot of requests to make different animal stuffies — especially woodland creatures. A felt wolf seemed to fit in well with the rest of our September collection, which includes DIY crafts for fall and Halloween. Plus it’s Krista’s favorite animal!
All of the tools and materials we used are linked on the right hand side of this post. Plus you can find the template and tutorial at the end of the post.

Who’s Afraid of this Big Bad Wolf?
This felt wolf stuffie is somewhere between a beginner and intermediate project and features four types of stitches — all of which you can learn how to do in our embroidery guide. We are here to help you learn no matter your skill level, so don’t be afraid to just jump on in!
As with all of our animal stuffies, we recommend using a high-quality wool blend felt. Krista chose to use our marble felt that has a beautiful heathered texture, perfect for the fur of a fluffy grey wolf. She also added some seed stitches for more detail on the face and tail.
If you end up making this felt wolf, we’d love to see it! You can share any projects you make from the site with us by tagging #MadeWithLia on Instagram or Facebook.

How to Make a Felt Wolf
- Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern on the right hand side at the top of this post.
- Cut out felt according to the pattern using a Cricut Maker/Silhouette Cameo 4 or scissors.
- Sew the legs to the underside piece using two strands of the lighter grey embroidery floss and a whip stitch, working from what will be the inside of the legs. Match and follow the curve of the leg openings, and ensure that the legs are facing the right way.
- Repeat the step above for all of the wolf’s legs.
Full tutorial available for members to download on the right hand side at the top of this post.

Back to the TopHi Lia
Is it possible only to buy the grey wolf pattern?
Our grandson is reading Peter and the wolf and I ve already made Peter and Grandfather. Next project will be the wolf. And we like your pattern so much.
Hi Addy! You can get a month of membership for the $15 which would be less than the cost of the template when we start selling them individually (that is coming soon). You can also download a few extras during the month! Let me know if you need any assistance with that. 🙂
Hi!
I seem to be having trouble sewing my animal pieces together. The Blanket stitch does not look like yours. I try small and closer to the edge, but when I stuff, it doesn’t lay nice and the stitches pull through the felt. Some use a ladder stitch, but how on felt. I love making the felt animals, but I don’t think I want to show them to anyone. Can you help? Thank you, Joanna
Maybe take two scrap pieces and do the smaller stitches, but don’t pull the threads quite as tight. Open it flat and see if that looks better.
Just created this for the birth of my best friend’s baby boy! Hoping to make many more! Absolutely loved this, thank you!
Oh what a sweet gift!!
I need a video of this felt animal instructions! The pictures are not helpful enough… can you please email me at ramonaparsaei@gmail.com with more instructions…
Thanks,
Ramona
Hi Ramona, we are a small team and don’t have the ability to provide videos of every single project on our site. Maybe one day! Let us know what you’re having trouble with and we’ll help you out.
