Archie has been designed for the Amigurumi.com design contest in 2018. The theme was about prehistory and I wanted to make a creature that was a bit different from the standard dinosaur. I settled on an archaeopteryx because I think they are so cool. There are lots of different depictions of archaeopteryxes, including a beak or a more streamline mouth and after a lot of versions, I am so happy to finally release the pattern my Archie the Archaeopteryx!
