Today’s toy is a crocheted clownfish. The pattern is in the book, Animal Amigurumi Adventures by Lauren Espy.

Today’s toy is a crocheted seahorse attached to a lovey blanket. Design for the seahorse is the Red Heart design team. Using Big Twist, Red Heart, and a 3 mm hook, the tail of the toy was difficult to construct. I love how the yarn pooled in the blanket. Sharing a photo to my sister,…
