This is a perfect beginner amigurumi crochet pattern! Pretty simple stitches are used, lots of photos, and the result is an adorable little friend I call a Squishimo. These things make perfect stress balls, dog toys, and stuffies! Though I would omit the eyes if it is to be a dog/cat/pet toy. This will be one of your favorite gift in-a-pinch patterns!

This pattern is worked in Bernat Blanket Yarn, and only takes about 14 yards.

Guage: Size K hook, and 11 stitches by 11 rows makes a 4” square.

Squishimos work up to approximately 3-4 inches tall, and about 2.5 inches wide.
