When I made my commissioned Sloth design, I had to decide between the two types of Sloth: Two-Toed and Three-Toed. I decided to go with the Three-Toed for my design, but I secretly wished I had time to make a Two-Toed as well…<\/p>\n

Although my crocheted sloths don’t have any<\/strong> toes, the markings and nose shape of each type of sloth makes them look very different, although their basic body shapes are the same. This means we have an excellent candidate for a new Expansion Pack, to convert the standard Three-Toed Sloth into a Two-Toed Sloth:<\/p>\n

\"Sloth<\/p>\n

If you aren’t too familiar with sloths – they are very strange creatures! – I refer you to my Sloth Fun Facts from my original Sloth blog post<\/a>\u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Just like my\u00a0original Sloth, the Two-Toed has jointed limbs and feet that clip together so he can hang around:<\/p>\n

\"Two-Toed<\/p>\n

And I have to admit it – this is the real reason I always wanted to make two sloths: when you have two sloths (a matched set, or one of each), your sloths can hug each other<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Awww! Cutest thing ever?<\/p>\n

\"Two-Toed<\/p>\n

My Two-Toed Sloth uses a special technique to give him nostrils crocheted right into his\u00a0muzzle – it’s subtle, but gives a nice effect that doesn’t rely on embroidery or any other embellishment techniques. As with the original Sloth, there are only 6 pieces to crochet, and the jointed limbs mean you only have one<\/strong> piece to sew on at the end – very satisfying!<\/p>\n

What is an Expansion Pack?<\/h2>\n
