The Hibiscus Sloth is a beautiful creature that embraces both fauna and flora, and is part of my personal project for #the100dayproject. Now you can finally make your own Hibiscus Sloth to show your love for nature!

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in rounds so you might want to use a stitch marker to mark the beggining of each round (a contrasting piece of yarn should be enough). There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep it tight and even throughout each piece. My final Hibiscus Sloth ended up with approximately 17cm (7in) from the feet to the top of the head. The pattern is easy to follow if you are familiar with basic crochet skills and contains steo-by-step pictures.
