I think Ayotli is a fictional character and today I will introduce you to a magnificent amigurumi toy design of this pumpkin-shaped character. We see that a very dark orange color was chosen for the pumpkin toy. There is a star-shaped flower on the top of the pumpkin. Since the toy was made using plush yarn, you should be able to see in the description section of the pattern that a 4mm crochet hook was used.
Ayotli the Pumpkin for Halloween
The mouth and nose of the toy with black eyes were also created using thin black yarn. The amigurumi toy has arms, legs and a pointed nose.
