Larocknitting Amigurumi

Today we show you a new amigurumi knitted with Caricia yarns. It is made by @larocknitting with an original pattern by @vibemai. We are starting a new collaboration with @larocknitting. A few weeks ago we sent her a package of Caricia Rustic cottons and challenged her to make an amigurumi for our blog. Here is the step-by-step with photos. We hope you like it!

YOU WILL NEED:

• Caricia Rustic Cotton
• 4 or 4.5 mm needle

ABBREVIATIONS:
