These are all crocheted. I'm so clumsy at embroidering features that I have left them unfinished for the time being. All are from published patterns. the Elephant and Giraffe are from a pamphlet called Noah's Ark. (I forget where I found the pig...) It was the first project I made with doubled yarn. All are crocheted in single crochet with poly-fill stuffing and Red Hart acrylic yarn.
