Crochet: Amigurumi: Mini Sleepyhead

This Amigurumi is completed on 19 November 2020.

Earlier in the month, I crochet the full-sized Sleepyhead by following the free pattern from this website.

After the full-sized Sleepyhead is completed, I yearn to crochet my very own Mini Sleepyhead. So, I made some changes to the original crochet pattern, and... Voila! Mini Sleepyhead is born (around 3 inches).
