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!
