I highly recommend this pattern! June's instructions for how to crochet this chinchilla were clear and easy to follow-and I had fun crocheting and sewing up this chinnie. I am the person that asked June if she could make a chinchilla pattern. Chinchillas are one of the cutest animals on Earth, and amigurumi is all about cute, so I was surprised that there were next to no chinchilla patterns available! Chinchillas can be high maintenance pets- believe me, I have "quite a few". But now you can crochet yourself, or a loved one, an adorable low-maintenance chinnie of your own.
