Skill Level: Beginner-Intermediate (you’ll need single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, triple crochet, increases, decreases, slip stitch, and working in back and front loops. You will also need sewing and color changes, plus expertise in embroidery.)
Tutorial Timing: 32 Minutes Only (recreating the amigurumi yourself will take a lot more time. This project is perfect if you are looking for a unique combination of themes.)
