Tuti is a Malayan Tapir that will make an adorable addition to your amigurumi
collection. I hope youll enjoy crocheting her as much as I did.

Size
The tapir will be approx. 2.5" tall and 4.3" long, if using the indicated hook
and yarn. If you would like it to be larger or smaller, you could use a different yarn
weight and adjust the hook size accordingly.

Construction
The legs are crocheted on the body. The ears, head, and tail are sewn on.

Techniques
For this pattern, you will need techniques such as the magic ring, invisible
sc decreases, changing colors, closing rounds, and invisible finishes.

You can use the tapestry technique to crochet the tapir in two different colors. It is
explained in the pattern. You could also fasten off the yarn every time there is a color
change and use the yarn ends as filling. You could also make a South American Tapir
in brownish gray without color changes.
