A juvenile rat, of the approximate size that our cat keeps bringing in, fashioned out of linen-coloured 8-ply cotton thread using crochet.
I started with a 4-loop spiral at the tail end, progressing into a body formed by quickly expanding the spiral, then narrowing for the neck, and re-growing for the head, and finishing off with the nose. I added in back feet (8 chain stitches, crocheted back into the body), front paws (6 chain stitches, similarly added), two ears (6 chain stitches looped back and joined up in arbitrary ways), and two eyes (... I don't know... knotty things looping back a bit).
Don't ask me for the pattern; I have no idea. I just looked at how I wanted the spiral / loop to grow, then tried to add / remove stitches until it looked roughly okay.
#CrochetProject When all you have is a crochet hook, cotton thread, a couple of crochet techniques, and a curious mind....
Everything starts to look like something you could fabricate out of a knotted spiral.
