Capybara in a Tub Amigurumi Pattern

This miniature capybara is relaxing in a tiny tub with blue water and floating oranges, one of which sits on its head. It is made with thin yarn and a 1.5 mm hook, so the whole toy is only about 9 cm (3 1/2 inches) wide. The tub is crocheted in rows and then in rounds, and it has hoops, a wooden detail and a cardboard base to hold its shape.

This pattern suits experienced crocheters who are comfortable with a tiny hook, invisible decreases and sewing small parts.

Tips for making it

• Use a marker to avoid losing the beginning of the row.
• Cut a circle of cardboard slightly smaller than the bottom of the tub, and glue it to the wrong side of the bottom.
