This pattern is for a micro amigurumi sloth. At less than an inch big, this little guy is packed with cuteness. I made him myself using embroidery floss. As of now I only have this pattern in the micro size, and don’t have a gauge.

Materials needed include a .6mm hook; embroidery floss in a light brown, dark brown, and black; scissors; and a sewing needle.

This pattern doesn’t use much length due to the tiny size. To make my sloth I took embroidery floss, stretched it arms length, and cut it. I then stripped the embroidery floss to 6 individual strands of each color. This creates a more attractive stitch. I needed all 6 strands of floss to make the head, body, and arms. I needed one strand of floss for the black details, and one strand of dark brown floss for the eyes.
