George McPlatypus

My first finished object of 2026! A woman in our knitting group is having a baby and I made this for the baby. It was so much fun and took way more yarn that I thought it would, but I can't wait to make more animals. I bought the Animal Friends of Pica Pau book and this is the first animal I made from it. Can't wait to make more, maybe even another George as I miss him a bit. Photo credit G.

A crocheted figure stands against a white background on a brown table. He's a platypus that is standing up and he's wearing a light blue bowtie with light blue, dark blue, and white striped trousers. His body is a light cream color and his hands, feet, and beak are a very dark purple.
