~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I designed Milfred Moose pattern shortly after designing Timothy Bear. I wanted to create an amigurumi line of a North American animal theme. The moose is my second pattern written. Spending my childhood and adult life in Yukon, Canada, the moose has always been symbol of power, respect and wisdom. 12’’ tall standing, this amigurumi is the perfect size to hug, love, and bring with you everywhere you go.

Materials:
• Red Heart Soft Touch in any color you choose (140 g/290yds)
• Red Heart soft touch in white for the antlers.
• Red Heart Soft Touch in contrasting color for hooves.
• Hook size 3.75mm (US F5)
• Yarn Needle
• 12mm safety eyes (optional, you may embroider the eyes if you
like)
• Fiberfill stuffing

Notes:
•It is best to crochet the body LAST as the arms and legs are crocheted into the construction of the body. I have created the amigurumi this way to avoid sewing and the chances of knots coming loose.
•Work in continuous rounds, do not join or turn.
•Crochet through both front and back loops at all times.
