Manatee Friend
A chubby, happy, manatee pal to keep you company wherever you go.
Pattern notes.
The number in brackets at the end of each round indicates the total number of stitches.
You can use whatever method you like to start your amigurumi, I prefer to chain 2 and work into the
first stitch but if you like a magic circle you go right ahead.
I used cotton DK yarn and a 4mm hook for this manatee, but I’ve also made them using chunky yarn
for an extra squishy pal. You can use whatever yarn you have to hand, I'd suggest sizing down your
hook 0.5mm - 1.0mm from the recommended size to ensure your stitches are tight. DK yarn and a
3mm hook will result in a smaller item and chunky yarn and a 5mm hook will obviously be larger. But
remember, all manatees are beautiful.
