Crochet pattern aardvark

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know it has been awhile, I am trying to figure out the best way to draft patterns for you readers and to not to go broke buying all the yarn.

I wanted to do a series of animals based on the Alphabet. Believe me it was hard to find animals that fit with some of the letters. I was trying to go with different animals that are harder to find in crochet patterns.

Please enjoy. Remember, this pattern is not tested. If you find an error, please let me know. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you post on Instagram so I can find it.
