One-piece LoopSouk patterns where legs, gills, ears and antlers are crocheted in, never sewn on.
No sew amigurumi means no fiddly assembly at the end: limbs, gills, ears and antlers are crocheted straight into the rounds as you go, so your make is finished when the last stitch is. That makes these the easiest LoopSouk patterns for beginners, and quick to repeat in bulk for gifts or craft fairs. Every PDF is written in US terms with a stitch count on every round.
