Tired of bunnies and chickens? Then why not crochet the
Animals of the Year 2021!

The Wild Animal of the Year 2021 is the
otter. Did you know that? It’s actually an endangered species—and it’s killed mainly by vehicles because, for some inexplicable reason, it doesn’t like to swim under bridges but prefers to take a detour across the road.
Otti the otter would much rather move into your home. He doesn’t need any extra food—he catches his own fish!

The Bird of the Year 2021 is the
robin. It’s an extremely popular bird, the subject of many legends, and one you often see in the garden. However, it isn’t actually an endangered bird species. Since this year, for the first time, not only experts but all bird lovers were allowed to take part in the vote, this was probably the reason for the decision. But see for yourself: isn’t the robin especially cute?
