Crochet Peso from the Octonauts! An amigurumi style pattern that captures the charm of the character. A free pattern for a tiny seahorse for Peso to look after is included. For a cute amigurumi penguin, just forget his clothes!

This is a crochet pattern and not the finished item. It is written in English language in American (US) crochet terms and is Intermediate level. There are a couple of potentially tricky techniques such as surface crochet and sl around post.

The pattern is available for instant download once payment is confirmed.

SUGGESTED MATERIALS
• 3.5mm crochet hook (E-4).
• 2 x 12mm black safety eyes.
• A small plastic container, approximately 7 x 5 x 2 cm, eg, a toothpick box
• Stitch marker
• Toy stuffing

I have suggested Garnstudio yarn because they are great quality, good value and available worldwide, but similar worsted weight yarns can be substituted.

Approximately 23cm tall with worsted weight yarn
