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 considere starring my repo :)
