Ruby the Rhino

I make use of the Pay What You Can model, so the pattern is priced at a minimum of 4€. The real value of this pattern is 8€, so if you can afford to pay more please consider doing so.

Ruby is a loving rhino looking for a new friend.
She is worked in the traditional amigurumi method, consisting of single crochet stitches as well as increases and decreases.

This pattern is available in US and UK terminology and comes with a handy Printer friendly text only version at the end of the document.
