The Orchid Toucan is a beautiful creature that embraces both fauna and flora, and is part of my personal project for #the100dayproject. Now you can finally make your own Hibiscus Sloth to show your love for nature!

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round (a contrasting piece of yarn should be enough). There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece, and make sure to read the whole pattern before starting. Orchid Toucan measures approximately 13cm (5in), if you use the same yarn and tools indicated below.
The pattern involves colour changes that should be executed on the last stitch of the previous colour, you can find tutorials on youtube on how to do it.
