Meet Little friends, The cutest edition of my amigurumi animal patterns. Well, what I like about them the most is they made up from the same basic pattern and you can create more animal from this pattern by just change colour or change nose and ear.
I think they are great to add some cuteness in your Ami collection, don’t you? Oh, and did you know they are work up pretty easy with those basic crochet stitches, like single crochet.
The tip and trick when I crocheted this little group , start with head and body first make many of them and follow by arm and leg.
