Meet Dale the Mosquito
Normally, mosquitoes are pretty annoying… but not Dale! He’s too oversized to do too much buzzing around! Dale measures 3 inches tall and 6 inches long when completed.
This mosquito is a great first-time pattern… I often use him to teach folks new to amigurumi! The pattern uses only single crochet, and he only takes a couple of hours to complete.
Materials Required
Ella Rae Classic is the yarn used in the sample: Grey (40 yds) and white (20 yds). This pattern can be used with any weight yarn, but plan on using more yardage for bulkier yarns.

I have trouble reading and applying some of the paterns,it’s not your patterns that are the problem it’s me. I have been trying to do a bird but I’m having a problem with the feet. Did you make any videos on how to do some of the animals? Following the pattern is easier for me when I can see it done. If not I do pretty good at faking it!LOL
