Pattern for a cute, realistically-proportioned shrew! The finished toy measures a little under 4.5in long (11.4cm).

The pattern is suitable for beginners. It is entirely no-sew.

The pattern uses US crochet terms.

You will need at three colors of yarn, a hook, a small bit of yarn or embroidery thread for the eyes, stuffing, and a needle for weaving in the yarn tails.
