Although otter amigurumi toys are usually designed as large toys, today I will introduce you to an otter amigurumi toy that is the size of a keychain. The amigurumi toy, which holds a tiny fish in its hand, has a very symmetrical design and we see that the loop structure of the toy is quite regular. The fish in the toy’s hand is made of gray color, while the toy is made of shades of brown.
I don’t know if otters like fish, but I think it would be more suitable to use as a keychain if you don’t make the fish it holds in its lap.
