Heya everyone!!
I come to you with mega ultra important question. My girlfriend sister want me to crochet something for her 2 months old baby. What is important that she want it to be very durable so he can play with it even 2 or mkre years later.
I thought about jellyfish or octopus but it has thin and long legs so it could be torn out.
I seek for your help I believe in you 
You can send me even links for patterns 
Tl;dr: I’m looking for pattern (amigurumi) to crochet for a few months old baby. Expectations: durable so it still will be usable even in a few years
Thank you all!

Check out some of the squishmallow patterns here on ribblr, they’d be your best bet due to limited appendages.
However, regardless of whatever you make I highly recommend not using safety eyes, and embroider them on instead.

Very nice suggestion with those squishmallows, I like it.
And yes safety eyes are not that “safe”

I’m going to add to the safety eye warning and also advise against the fluffy yarns (velvet, blanket, etc) as the shed very easily.
There is a “doll” that is made by knitting or crocheting a tube, changing colors at certain times, then sewn in “special way” that my daughter has had most of her life now and it’s holding very well (she’s 2½), let me see if I can find an example/ pattern
Comfort doll pattern Once on this page, click Comfort (Izzy) Doll… (if you want a skirt instead of pants, just omit that sewing line)

I’ve made this before for expected babies:
It doubles as a puzzle toy for when they get older, and the legs are crocheted as part of it and in a way that can’t be torn off. Just make sure you make some crocheted eyes and sew them on thoroughly instead of safety or button eyes.
