Sebastian The Crab

"This happy little guy will bring back summer vibes in an instant! Perfect project to complete your sea world amigurumi collection, or just make you smile every morning if like me you like having some cool crochet folks sitting on your desk! I've made it for my toddler who imitates the crab's claws by opening and closing his cute little hands. Now he is stealing it from my desk every time he sees it! Intermediate to advanced level."

NotesI hope you'll enjoy this pattern, if you have any question I'm glad to help, just send me an email, you'll find an address in the contact page of my blog.

I’d love to see your finished crab: don’t forget to share it on social media and tag me @octopucrochetdesign . I look forward to seeing it!
