Meet Leila!

Leila is a Rhinoceros. Isn't she fancy with her collar and flower accent? This is my first attempt at a toy. I made it for a friend of mine's baby who tuned 1 on St. Patty's Day - Happy Birthday again, Princess C! Anyway, the rhino is in honor of her mom, my friend B who has a special place in her heart for rhinos.

I got the pattern for Leila from Roxycraft (patterns that don't suck).

Leila, playing with some yarn:




Leila in my arm for sizing perspective. As you can see, she's bigger than traditional amigurumi.
