Shelby the Porcupine


£49.00
Say hello to Shelby the Porcupine, first seen as an instalment of TOFT's Dye Club crochet subscription. Inspired by the contrasting black and white spikes of the prehensile-tailed porcupine (there are in fact 12 species of porcupine!) which is native to South America, this pattern uses some interesting crochet techniques including holding two strands of yarn together. Thankfully, Kerry Lord's version of this porcupine is a lot more cuddly than his real-life counterparts!

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
