Snuggly Sloth Knitting Pattern

Sloths are some of the most charming creatures on the planet! These solitary critters spend their lives in trees, sleeping up to 10 hours a day. They are so invested in “hanging out” that they only need to climb down from their perches once a week to use the bathroom. Their fur is home to many other organisms, such as algae, fungus, and insects! With this pattern, you will have a sloth pal of your own in a few hours! With magnets in its hands and feet, your sloth can easily hang out on car mirrors, refrigerators, necklaces, lamps, and many other places!
