The Pocket Otter is a cute mini doll that can be worked up quickly and easily. This stuffed animal sits at 4” in height and can fit in your palm. The ears are crocheted directly onto the head in a no-sew manner, and the color changes allow for details of the markings on the face. This baby critter is designed with super bulky chenille velvet or blanket yarn, but it can also be made with thinner yarns to create a small keychain version. This little toy is great for craft fairs, markets, or kids party favors. It’s a unisex and gender neutral stuffie that will appeal to boys, girls, children, adults, and everyone in between! It’s a great last-minute birthday and holiday gift, especially for those who are sea otter or river otter fans!
The PDF pattern includes full written instructions and photo references to guide you through the doll making process.
