Cowletta Moolove Funmigurumi

With Cowletta, we will start a new family of Funmigurumi, the Moolove family, straight out of a green and pretty prairie!
The idea for this funmigurumi came from a personal request from a special crocheter, but it just stirred up things on the farm, so Cowletta wound up having a sister, her name is Milketta. I hear some mooing coming from the pasture so I don’t know if there are more little cows out there or may even a couple of bulls. . . Meantime, enjoy Cowletta until we find out!

Funmigurumi Monkeyroo No. 12: Kima

Kima means monkey in Swahili, so I decided that at least one of my monkeyroos would have a "real" monkey name. This is the last monkeyroo of the series, and a good one it has been! I think we have streteched our creativity and love of color, haven't we? We will be moving on to a new Amigurumi next time, but I will reserve it as a surpirse. For now, here's Kima!

Leave that open to insert into toy, to give more strength to the ear.
Sew eyes in place using leftover tails. Thread needle with a bit of Black and embroider 2 dots for nostrils in top center of muzzle, between eyes. Fasten off.
Make a Black dot in center of each eye. Fasten off. Still with Black, embroider eyebrows on top of eyes. Fasten off.

them open, got the bell out and dropped into the tube. You can also drop 3 or 4 dried beans into the tube.) That way there will be more rattling and more fun for baby.


Thread the blunt needle with Tea Leaf yarn and by making long stitches, close the bottom of the tube. Fasten off, weave in tail. Repeat with the top of the tube. Fasten off. Weave in tail.
