This is a no-sew advanced beginner to intermediate crochet pattern to make an opossum and a garbage can with a lid. It has been pattern tested by five other crocheters in a variety of yarns (both chunky and lightweight yarns).

This pattern uses US terminology (Click the preference icon to change to UK). The pattern primarily uses single crochet, single crochet increase, and single crochet decrease. However, you will also use half double crochet, double crochet, slip stitch, bobble stitch, and work in front loop only, back loop only, and third loop only (diagram and explanation included).

You are welcome to sell your makes, but you may not sell or otherwise distribute this pattern.
