Everyone likes hugs. Dolls and other stuffed animals are great, but this Sloth takes it to a new level – to be able to wrap its arms around you / anything around the house! The cuddliest doll of mine to date. Made with Feel’s Like Butta, he is impossible to not want to touch; he really does feel like butter! Squishy and adorable, he’s the perfect cuddle buddy! Also made for home décor, this hanging sloth can bring light and whimsy to any room.

The FREE Pattern for this piece can be found below and the full KIT from Lion Brand Yarn can be found HERE!
A little over a year ago, Lion Brand Yarn and I reached out to one another to do a project, and that was when I made the original Bonds the Slothie Scarf! It was so much fun to revisit this project and make it better than the original. The free pattern is still available for Bonds, which can be found HERE.
This pattern was made out of Feel’s Like Butta, which isn’t a yarn I’m used to using when it comes to Amigurumi. After using it though, I fell in love. It glides through your fingers and as the name suggests, really does feel like butter! You can order your own by clicking the photo below or clicking the link HERE.

You will want to sew on the top portion of the foot like you normally would. However, the bottom portion of it will be a little bit different!
You will want to sew this under-half of the leg as close to the top portion as you can. This allows it to move around and not be so stiff!
They will be around this close to one another.
