This is probably the most “amigurumi” amigurumi that I ever designed! But don’t worry - it’s still no-sew and with a lot of twists! Very easy and fast to crochet (because no sewing is required) and perfect as a last minute handmade gift for that baby shower you forgot you were invited to!

Works great also as a base for a rainbow slug, snail, worm or a snake toy.


Skills required:

  • crocheting (magic loop, ch, dec, inc, sc, sl, slst2tog, crocheting through back loops only)
  • closing holes
  • basic embroidery for mouth and cheeks
