crochet pattern yellow boxfish amigurumi

With this pdf pattern you can crochet Otto the boxfish.

Tiny and square
As the shape of Otto the boxfish suggests, boxfish are very slow swimmers in nature, but very agile. Boxfish can even turn on the spot. And because of their funny kissing mouths they can even "blow". They use this ability to expose prey hidden in the sand by "blowing" on it with a water jet. Isn't that cute? Luckily we can really kiss our Otto the boxfish after busy crocheting!

Otto the boxfish is very easy to crochet. You should be able to crochet singel crochet, half double crochet, double crochet and slip stitch .

You should also be able to crochet in rounds and in rows. You should also be able to sew and embroider. The body of Otto the boxfish is crocheted with yellow yarn from mouth (beginning) to tail fin (end). First crochet in rounds. When it goes over to the tail fin, crochet in rows. The two eyes are crocheted separately and the eyeballs are embroidered with black yarn. Then the eyes are sewn to the body. The dorsal fin, anal fin and the two pectoral fins follow the same instructions. They are crocheted separately and then sewn to the body. Finally the black dots are embroidered on Otto, distributed over the body. Finally, all protruding threads are sewn. Of course, all the individual steps to create Otto the boxfish are described in detail in the instructions.
