I created this little guy a little while ago but wanted to share him with you all. He is a pattern I created. I put magnets on his back and around his chubby sides so that he could sit on a co-workers desk and collect paper clips. Enjoy, I am including his pattern at the bottom of the photo.


This is one of the first patterns I created in the Amigurumi Style.
Please let me know if there are any errors! Thanks
