Amigurumi Crochet Sloth

From the blogger: "This adorable amigurumi sloth by Lauren Bergstrom was originally published in Mini Crochet Creatures: 30 Amigurumi Animals to Make and was published on Underground Crafter with permission of GMC Publications Ltd. An amigurumi sloth has a plump body and long crocheted limbs. The position of the arms and legs can be changed to give it different poses. A sloth face is made by sewing felt shapes onto the body, with an embroidered nose and mouth. This sloth is one of the calmest amigurumi creatures."
