Sno & Snoosle the sea otters

With this easy and very detailed pattern, you can make an utterly adorably mother and pup sea otter.

Size: when made with Istex Lett Lopi and hook E / 3,5 mm your adult otter will be 8 inch / 20 cm and the baby 5.5 inch / 12 cm long.

The instructions are written in US crochet terms. The pattern contains a list of materials, tools and accessories needed. Brand and colour numbers of the needed yarn. A clear and colour coded description of how to crochet and assemble the animal. Pictures and illustrations to help getting everything right.

Materials: For these crochet sea otters you’ll need worsted weight yarn and an E US/3.5 mm crochet hook. You’ll need four colours of yarn: acorn, 1/3 of a 100-yard skein, light beige (1/6), murky browm (1/6) and a left-over bit of sheep black. For the eyes I’ve used 7 & 6 mm animal eyes. You will also need fibrefill to stuff the otters and a hard (pet or nail) brush to make the baby look more fuzzy. Lopi colour numbers: 0053, 0086, 1420, 0052.
