Hamster
Ever since my little girl saw the McDonald’s Happy meal teenie Beanie Baby hamster Fluffball in the display at the restaurant, she has wanted one. Alas, we have yet to acquire one of these. The Beanie Babies are McDonald’s current Happy Meal toy - celebrating 30 years of the Happy Meal. So there are 30 Beanie Babies in the set. I have some family on the lookout for the hamster so hopefully we can snag at least one.
Last night I decided to whip up a small hamster amigurumi. I didn’t have a pattern and just fumbled my way through it. Think I only frogged some stitches twice. I couldn’t find the solid black safety eyes so I had to use the ones with the clear back.
The little one really like it, and it gave me a chance to try doing a tighter single crochet especially when decreasing stitches.
