If you love to crochet, I’m sharing some fun crochet animal patterns for you to try. You’ll find a crochet cat, owl, fox, and more. I’ve even included Reese the Alpaca, a cute Animal Crossing character.
If you’re new to crochet, I think that amigurumi projects are great beginner projects. If you’ve never heard of amigurumi, essentially, amigurumi are crocheted small projects such as dolls, or animals.
