I finally decided to take the plunge of designing my o!n amigurumi
pattern. I came up !ith the idea for this pro*ect !hen I recei'ed a
re+uest from my boyfriend,s grandma for a pair of seals. I had made
a couple of different styles of seals before based on a'ailable
patterns on Ra'elry( but I struggled to find one that matched !hat Ihad en'isioned. I,m 'ery happy !ith the results but I also kno! this is
my first design. If you are trying this pattern and !ant to gi'e me
