Definitely the last

I’m done with amigurumi for a while but I’ve saved the best (and the most fiddly) til last.

This is Clyde. As named by my husband.

If anyone is in any doubt; he is an orangutan.

And I love him.

This is the original

I was going to give him a trim but rather like him ‘shaggy’.

His ‘fur’ is made by looping the yarn around your finger every 3rd or fourth stitch to create a loop which really slowed my usual crocheting pace down. I was so glad to complete him!

You cut through all the loops at the end, once you’ve sewn him together – also fiddly!

He’s already made some friends

And is ready to be parceled up for the imminent arrival of a new member of our family.

Lets not forget Elijah. I didn’t add to his ears!

I’m ready to put away the crochet hook……for a little while.

Love, Lucie xx
