I think Jellycat Peanut is a famous character but I don’t know much about it. I did some research and I think the crochet Jellycat Peanut is the most beautiful looking and free toy I will introduce to you today. You can decorate the toy in different ways or change its eyes. If you look at the 2nd photo in particular, we can say that the eyes made with yarn add an interesting expression to the toy.

A 4.00mm crochet hook is recommended when making the toy and it is also recommended to make the toy in shades of brown. Now if you are ready, let’s start making the toy.
