Hello friends! Today, I’m excited to share a Mini Plush Shrimp Amigurumi pattern. This adorable shrimp crochet toy is small in size, making it perfect for beginners. You can create this cute little shrimp using pink yarn or any color of your choice. The pattern is beginner-friendly, and you will need a 4.5mm crochet hook to make the toy. Please note that the final size may vary depending on the yarn you choose.
For the eyes, you will need to use glue to attach them securely. The cheeks and tail are made with the same colored yarn, giving the shrimp a cohesive look.
