I like sloths and have always wanted to crochet one.
As always, it is a challenge trying to find a good pattern that comes with no price attached. After countless attempts with no great results for a nice Sloth pattern, I decided to pay for one. This is where I bought my Sloth pattern from.
This Sleepy Sloth pattern is simple yet well designed. It took me less than a week to complete without any hiccups. And I have an enjoyable time trying out this new pattern. The only thing I dislike is having to crochet two of each, for the arms and legs. But that is basically a must for most Amigurumi featuring animals or dolls; there is simply no getting away from it. So, I just grit my teeth and get it done.
I am fairly pleased with my handmade Sloth though I feel that I could have done a better job sewing the mask onto the Sloth's head. But what's done is done. It will take a lot more to undo in order to redo. So, I just leave it as it is. Perhaps I will try again some time in the future with a different type of yarn.
This Sleepy sloth is a great project for anyone including beginners. The end-product not only makes a great curtain tie-back, but it can also double up as a bag charm or simply an accompaniment on a chair or computer monitor.
