an amigurumi anteater

A brief google tells us that anteaters can be small as a squirrel or seven-foot-long from nose to tail. What the search engine doesn’t share with us, though, is that they can be crocheted from scratch with some teeny ant friends and a sweet retractable tongue. Bit of an oversight! With the help of a pattern from London lady Irene Strange (available for around $8 at irenestrange.etsy.com) you can even whip one up yourself – though you may want to get some crochet practice in first.
