It is Day 11, the second to last day, of the Woodland Christmas Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along and again we have a little forest animal, this time a Small Skunk.
For the skunk I decided to do a long, striped, elf style hat. I went with green and white stripes, although you could even do a solid color if you wanted. I wanted it to be Christmasy but I didn't want red, because there might be a lot of red in tomorrow's pattern, hint, hint.
The little skunk is all black, with a white stripe running over its head and down its back that is made separately and stitched on, and a puffy tail that also has a white stripe.
The hat is made top down, long and pointy. I did alternating stripes every other round, with two rounds of the green at the end to make a hat band. Then I made a tiny round ball for a. pompom at the end, just like on the bunny's hat from day 1.
I can't believe that there is only one more day left of the crochet along. Come back tomorrow to see what the final pattern is.
