patterns I found through blogs and Ra'elry and after a fe! frustrating

days deciphering all the basic stitches from Youtube and a fe! booksI purchased( my lo'e for crochet took off and so did my yarn

collection.

I finally decided to take the plunge of designing my o!n amigurumi

pattern. I came up !ith the idea for this pro*ect !hen I recei'ed a

re+uest from my boyfriend,s grandma for a pair of seals. I had made

a couple of different styles of seals before based on a'ailable

patterns on Ra'elry( but I struggled to find one that matched !hat Ihad en'isioned. I,m 'ery happy !ith the results but I also kno! this is

my first design. If you are trying this pattern and !ant to gi'e me
