Dear users, dear authors,
Animals and amigurumi are very popular with crafters. Gray animals such as donkeys, elephants, owls, mice, rabbits, gray cats, and dogs have a very special place in our users’ hearts.
Click through our selection here in the thread and, of course, in the shop, and you’ll understand why.
Start making gray animals now.

@Authors,
2–3 thematically fitting patterns can be presented here.
Don’t forget an image, link, and the usual info.

Isn’t he cute? Little Bully the elephant has made himself comfortable on his swim ring. He’s about to launch his little boat into the water.
Maybe you’d like to have a little cuddly elephant like this, too? He’ll be about 22 cm tall. You can crochet him using plush yarn, but he’ll turn out very cute with acrylic yarn as well. The little boat, swim ring, hat, and soles are made of cotton.
