Giveaway: Elusive Otter (Hand-Knit Stuffed Animal)
Winner: Carter_
Donation drive raised: $1,810.51
The Elusive Otter romps along woodland streams, stealing your heart with the same ease that he catches fish. He’s riding the Bus til someone brings him home to start a new Adventure. Standing 11 inches tall and 22inches long, this cuddly friend is ready to run unblocked into your arms, or provide some support (and +1/+1 counters!) to your team. This stuffed animal is adapted from the “River Otter” pattern written by Sara Elizabeth Kellner, with custom elements inspired by Christina Kraus’s Magic: The Gathering card art (Wilds of Eldraine; collector# 0225). Elusive Otter is knit and crocheted of 100% acrylic yarn and stuffed with polyester fiber fill, the accompanying fish is made of handspun merino wool and both components can be gently hand washed. Crafted by Florence S.
