Difficulty Level: Advanced beginner, the user will need understanding of basic crochet stitches, and color changes- photo tutorial and instruction of color changes is available within the pattern as well.

The baby otter “Otto” is a No Sew, and the mom otter “Olive” is ‘Nearly No Sew’ only the arms/legs will need to be sewn on. Each pattern begins with the head and ends with the tail.

This pattern is worked in rounds. You will not join at the end of each round.

Materials: Bernat Blanket Yarn in two contrasting colors. I am using Almond and Taupe, black yarn for nose embroidery, 6.5mm crochet hook, 14mm safety eyes, Fiberfil Stuffing, scissors, stitch marker, tapestry needle.

You can choose any size yarn/hook you prefer, this is just what I use.
