Crocheted Capotto

Since Caroline decided to make a post about cooking and baking, which I like to think is MY specialty, I decided to get her back by posting about crochet, which is most definitely her specialty.



I made this little guy for my good friend Stephanie, who I met on the internet through our art and common interests. We've been friends for almost 10 years!
He's only a few inches tall and was the most fun and detailed thing I've ever crocheted. His name is Capotto, a character Steph made as a friend to my little character Uwagi.

Both characters are dogs, their names come from us looking up the word "coat" in a foreign dictionary (can you guess what languages they are?). You should go visit Stephanie at her fabulous Etsy store and at her flickr! She's a fantastic artist as well as a fantastic friend :)
