With just a little bit of scrap yarn and a couple hours of work, you can make a cute critter to join you on your travels! This marvelous marsupial is made entirely in one piece, with sewing only being needed for the optional mouth and pink toes. The pattern is mostly straightforward but has some slightly more complicated stitches to work the no-sew ears and feet. It’s a perfect pattern for an adventurous beginner or a more experienced crocheter looking for a quick project.
Stick to the weight 3 yarn used in the pattern to get a 4”/10 cm long opossum, or use bulky blanket yarn to get a near-life-size version!
