When I saw this adorable armadillo pattern, I just knew I had to include him on my Christmas Whimsy Tree this year. You can find the free pattern by clicking on the link below.

This pattern is made in 2 separate pieces, the armadillo himself and the shell which is attached separately. Crocheting the pieces was fairly simple, but I ran into some difficulty in getting the shell the appropriate size to roll this little fella into a ball.
After redoing the shell a couple of times I decided to just settle for one that is a bit too large. It will, however, roll up nicely
For anyone choosing to make this project, I would suggest doing 1 less row on the shell than the pattern calls for.
Doesn't he look cozy in his little oversized shell? I love that you can make him in a variety of colors. I think the kids will like him!
Let me know what you think in the comments. I would love to know your opinion!
Blessings!

Just about the cutest crocheted animal I have ever seen. Thanks!
