Amigarumi: Part 1

Lately I have been dabbling in a little amigarumi ("little animals"), a genre of crocheting that can only be described and ridiculously cute.  Armed with some basic crocheting stitches and a good instruction book + some slow motion instruction care of youtube, I set forth on making an elephant.  This is how we turned out....

First shot missing his limbs!

Size wise he ended up a little larger than I originally anticipated (shown next to a finger puppet) in part due to using a larger crochet hook, but also I think the project was just a bit larger than I thought.

Here he is all finished up and handsome, and with a fetching green scarf, he's ready for the winter!
