Meet Martha the unknown animal…

Martha measures 22cms from ear tips to feet and has been made to my own design (her legs are 8cms long). She’s been made using the Japanese style of crochet, Amigurumi. This method is very neat as it is worked in a spiral - there are no seams, just a hole at the end of each piece that can be stuffed and then sewn closed.

I’ve used a dark grey wool mix yarn for the main body colour with a lighter grey wool stripe on her body and cream for her face, ears, feet and hands. She has pink safety eyes, a pink and black felt nose and is stuffed with polyfil.
