Description
Small, round and cheeky - these are the hamster kitties. Whether you crochet them out of cotton yarn, chenille or totally fluffy is up to you. Either way, they are cute and cuddly - and very quick and easy to crochet, as they only consist of single crochet stitches and are mainly crocheted in spiral rounds.
