Cooper the Copepod is the perfect project for all marine enthusiasts. Copepods are tiny crustacean creatures (just like prawns or lobsters) that live in the sea’s plankton. They love to come out at night in the water and eat plant material that is just as tiny as them (phytoplankton).

This pattern includes written information as well as some pictures to help you with the construction and assembly of the plush.

It has been designed for beginners+ crocheter with previous knowledge of amigurumi construction.

Materials needed:
• DK or 8ply yarn
• 3.75 (F) crochet hook
• Stitch marker, tapestry needle and scissors
• Polyfill
• Craft pipe cleaners
Optional: 1x 7.5mm safety eyes (not meant for children under 3 y.o.)
