Hortense the Manatee


£25.00
Hortense the Manatee joined the menagerie as part of the Conservationists crochet subscription in 2023, becoming the first project in the club that was suitable for complete beginners. Not to be confused with a dugong, the manatee belongs to a group of animals called ‘Sirenia’ and is also related to the Stellar’s sea cow which is now extinct. It's closest living relative is in fact an elephant!

TOFT’s Edward’s Menagerie collection is a series of crochet amigurumi toys designed by Kerry Lord. This crochet animal kit contains TOFT’s quality pure wool yarn and an easy-to-follow downloadable pattern. There are video links for all the crochet stitches and techniques used in the pattern to get you started and help you complete your toy.
