Bonbon the Anteater
ABOUT BONBON
Bonbon the Anteater is your officially-appointed tour guide for the Bushy Tails Expedition. He’s set to take you on a magical adventure through the jungle to track down his beautiful and exotic animal friends so you can meet them! The first thing you’ll notice about your fancy little guide is his fabulous tail! Impeccably styled without a single silky hair out of place, this dashing little sprite knows the jungle like the back of his paw. He moves with surprising grace and nimble ease, flitting regally between branches, leaves and vines.
Somehow, Bonbon’s shining black eyes are hypnotic. With bedazzling charm, he turns to wink a beady eye at you before springing ahead, leading the adventure! You fall under his spell, allowing the swish of his tail to mesmerize you as you follow him through the underbrush.
ABOUT THE PATTERN
This pattern was written for the Bushy Tails Expedition CAL, hosted by Projectarian in collaboration with Airali Gray, Little Aqua Girl, Irene Strange, Lemon Yarn Creations, Natura Crochet and Pica Pau!
Bonbon is a small amigurumi designed in a rigid standing pose. The silky fur on his tail and front legs is made by needle felting with acrylic yarn, and he has smooth felted detail on his chest. This model is quick to make, the crocheted pieces work up fast and all the felting can be completed in about 4 hours. Assembly requires minimal sewing with only 4 pieces to attach (the legs). Everything else is crocheted in one piece; the tail is one with the body and the ears are crocheted on.
This CAL is part of the Projectarian’s Year of Fur , where all Projectarian patterns are fur themed for 2022.

I had so much fun designing Bonbon and becoming acquainted with his big personality as we worked together on the Bushy Tails Expedition. I hope you have just as much fun making him – and have your heart stolen by his charm, like I did!
