It seems as if I save posting for special occasions. Recently, I’ve gotten into crocheting and more specifically making amigurumi. Anyways, today, I’ve finally come up with an original pattern. Here it is:

You may have noticed…I actually have no idea what yarn I used, I just found it in my stash, it took very little of my tiny ball of both colours. And the 3.00mm hook, is Japanese standard, apparently there is a US equivalent of it (US 2 1/2), but if you don’t have it, personally I would just take the closest size I have and fudge along with it. And on top of all of that, this pattern hasn’t been tested, except for the ears (because I forgot what I did to get it and had to make a couple to get the accurate instructions). Approach with caution and enjoy 
Bye,
Heidi.
