Hello blog friends. I had a request about two months ago from my daughter to crochet her a stuffed animal. I'd never made a stuffed animal before and I knew this would be a new crochet challenge for me.
Some of you might remember that I've made in the past a crocheted apple and crocheted mini pumpkins.
For those of you that are not familiar with Appa he is a flying bison from Avatar: The Last Airbender.
From the start of this crochet project, I had a small problem trying to read the pattern. I was happy to have help from my crochet and knitting friends from Instagram @mayakuzman and @alhanaart.
This project was pretty involved with a lot of small pieces to crochet and I worked a little bit on him each day. It took me about a month to crochet him and I love the way he came out.
I'm happy I had a crochet project to work on for my daughter and she loves Appa! I enjoyed crocheting, stuffing, and sewing Appa together.
Are you working on any fun crochet or knitting projects?

ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog visit and your sweet comment on the stuffed animal I crocheted!
DeleteSometimes crocheting animals can be tricky as they have so many small parts sewn together. Your daughter must be delighted with her own Appa, it turned out so cute. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy October!
