Hortense the Manatee Kit

£36.00

Hortense the Manatee is the perfect crochet project for complete beginners looking to learn that double crochet stitch for the first time. Not to be confused with a dugong, the manatee belongs to a group of animals called ‘Sirenia’ and is also related to the Stellar’s sea cow which is now extinct. It's closest living relative is in fact an elephant!

Hand-packed into a fully-recyclable TOFT box, this crochet kit comes with all the luxury materials and quality tools you'll need to complete the crochet project from our pure wool yarn to soft-grip crochet hook, wool needle and stuffing.

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 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. Share your progress with the TOFT community on Instagram @toft_uk using the #edsanimals hashtag.
