The amigurumi is fast and easy to make and will make any children happy.

Dan and his accessories are crocheted in all their parts as a safety feature for young children. Feel free to do otherwise if this is for an older child if you wish.

If you happen to have any questions during the execution of this pattern please feel free to contact me through this website or through the contact details included in the pattern.
