Enzo the Echidna Pot Plant Cosy comes in two styles - a beginner version (latch-hooked spines and basic features) and an intermediate version (crocheted spines and more detailed features). I have nicknamed my prototype ‘Frankie’, as he is a combination of the two styles and two different colour schemes .

Enzo was designed for the 2022 Crochet Tournament - an international, annual competition run by Crochet Australia. I was so honoured to be one of three designers invited to contribute a pattern this year, and I hope you love the results as much as I do!
