Cute Creations: Móhu Crochet

WORDS Michaela Stehr IMAGES @mohustore on Instagram

Canada-based studio Móhu creates tiny crochet animals that are so adorable we actually couldn’t resist sharing.

These miniature creatures are part of a Japanese art called amigurumi, -ami meaning to knit and nuigurumi meaning doll. Móhu translates to woolly in Japanese, a fitting name for these small critters. You can buy a wide range of characters from the Móhu Etsy store, or create your own by purchasing a pattern.

From red pandas and narwhals to llamas and pugs, the animals come in a wide range of designs and colours.

Pick your favourite from the list below.

Little badger is here for autumn.

I updated the pattern for these llamas today! The instructions are still the same – it’s just a new layout (•-•)

There are new Narwhals in the shop now! I’ve modified the body and tail shape ever so slightly, and added a sea green colour option.
