If you’ve been around the amigurumi scene for a hot minute, you probably recognize the whimsical aesthetic of Yan Schenkel, the designer behind Animal Friends of Pica Pau and Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2.

It’s no secret how much I love these patterns. I borrowed Animal Friends of Pica Pau three times from the library before I finally bought it, and pre-ordered “Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2” when it was first announced. But then. The waiting!

A stuffed turtle, tiger, koala and sloth lay atop a copy of Animal Friends of Pica Pau 2.
