There are so many adorable patterns from Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 and I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites.

Animal Friends of Pica Pau 3 - Ayarna

Hans Grizzly Bear – I enjoyed making this little bear so much and made him several times. Each time I learned something new and my skills improved each time I made him. V” shaped stitches naturally lean to the right (if you’re right handed), while X shaped stitches sit a little more neatly one on top of the other. Yarn Weight/Crochet Hook CombinationYan goes on to explain that a toy made with the yarn under technique will be a little longer, less wide and less squishy. Yarn Over Hector Rhinocerous – this was one of my favorite projects as well. So much so that I ended up keeping her. I love the colors I chose for this project in those baby pastels. So cute. Robin Unicorn – the unicorn is a project that I only made twice. I found the way the underside of the body to be very challenging, but I learned so much. But you can also look through the gallery to find color inspiration from other crocheters who have already made the toy.

Victor Frog – I’ve made Victor Frog more times than I can count. I’ve made him in the traditional way, but I also transitioned to making him a her and putting a tutu on her. You can find the tutorial for that here: How to Add a Tutu to Amigurumi Toys. I still have the original Victor Frog I made but I gave away and sold all the rest.With yarn over the circle measured about 4 inches, while the yarn under circle measured 3.3 inches. That’s a pretty big difference. Color Change Difference You want a crochet hook that slides easily in and out of your stitches, while also being strong enough to withstand some of the bending and maneuvering we do to make adorable crocheted toys. Rene Yacare Caiman – oh how I love this pattern. I made him several times and eventually turned him into a little girl with a tutu as well.
