Canadian Moose Sighting
Jeanne and I were walking along minding our own business when suddenly out of nowhere this moose showed up!
Ok maybe not... but this moose is on his way to Canada nevertheless. Awhile ago Jeanne and I were talking about bartering our talents, you see she is wicked talented with knitting but when it comes to cute crochet creatures I'm the lady to call. When she found out her friend was expecting she wanted to knit the baby a sweater but also send a fun toy. This is where I come in. Being as stereotypical as possible I decided to make Maple the Moose... I mean come on, they're Canadian! All Canadians must love maple syrup and moose...meese...mooses...Right?
The pattern involves a LOT of pieces... and sewing them together was a bit of a pain. But in the end I was really happy with the results.
Want a tip for giving your characters more personality? Try sewing their parts on a little off kilter. No really it's super cute! Check out the head... you may notice it's a little off to the side, doesn't it just give him a little extra cuteness? I'd like to think so :)
Is this your first time crocheting amigurumi style? Check out this free tutorial on how to get started! There are a ton of great tips and tricks, plus a free pattern for a penguin!
