Hello community, how are you doing?

I am learning the language Go, and I find Gopher to be very charismatic. So I decided to make this Gopher using the Japanese technique called amigurumi to crochet this version.

I am sharing the pattern here so that you too can make beautiful Gophers. Feel free to write to me if you have any questions or suggestions. I hope that, like me, you will like the idea and make lots of them.

Remember to send me pictures, I will love to see the Gophers you make. Have fun!!!

If you like the idea, please consider starring my repo :)

Material

Yarn cotton (color of your choice)
Crochet hook 2.5mm
Polyester fiber to fill
White felt for making the teeth
Plastic Safety Eyes 10mm
Plastic Safety Nose 12mm

*You can also choose different sizes if you prefer.

Because this is a handmade work, your Gopher may look a little different from mine. Don't worry, this variation can happen occasionally depending on the material or even because of the way you crochet it.
