Animals for hot air balloon baby mobile crochet pattern

Crochet Pattern: New Animals for Hot Air Balloon Mobile – Turtle, Polar Bear, Koala, Mouse, and Sloth

If you’ve previously purchased any of my crochet patterns for the Hot Air Balloon Mobile, the Big Hot Air Balloon with Four Animals, or the Elephant in a Balloon, you can now switch up the animals with this brand new set! This pattern includes instructions to crochet five adorable animals—a turtle, polar bear, koala, mouse, and sloth—designed specifically to fit perfectly into the baskets of your hot air balloon creations.

These animals are crafted without legs to fit snugly in the balloon baskets, but they can also be used for other creative purposes you have in mind.
