Very,very cute! I just finished making this, which was by the way my first project since i just started to crochet a few weeks ago, and it was very easy to follow. My only complaint is that it came out bigger than i expected, which in a way is good. I used buttons for the eyes and didnt make a mouth, the yarn is a pretty sparkly blue.
