Mini Mammals 2: three EXPANSION PACK amigurumi crochet patterns: Hamster, Gerbil, Kangaroo Rat

Mini Mammals 2 is an original EXPANSION PACK for the Mini Mammals crochet pattern by June Gilbank. This is a pattern add-on, not a complete pattern.

What is an Expansion Pack? An Expansion Pack is an add-on to an existing PlanetJune pattern. It lets you modify or add to the original pattern to create something else. You cannot use an Expansion Pack alone - you must also purchase the original pattern to make the pictured items.

This Expansion Pack includes all the modifications required to crochet a Hamster, Gerbil and Kangaroo Rat. You will also need the Mini Mammals pattern.

• Hamster (orange in sample photos): Syrian (Golden) Hamsters are often kept as pets; they hoard food by carrying it in their expandable cheek pouches until they can store it. 
   
• Gerbil (cream in sample photos): Mongolian Gerbils are often kept as pets; they are highly social and love to dig tunnels.
   
• Kangaroo Rat (brown in sample photos): Small jumping rodents from the deserts of North America. They can survive without drinking any water at all and collect seeds in their fur-lined cheek pouches to store.

Size: approx 4" (10cm) long, excluding tail

Yarn: worsted weight yarn in any sandy sort of colour (beige, light-medium brown, tan, cream, light grey, etc), less than 35m each

Hook: E US/3.5mm crochet hook 

Eye size: 10mm
