My Christmas ornament swap partner really likes zebra stripes, so I wanted to make her a zebra. Most of the zebra patterns that I came across were not small enough to be an ornament, so I turned an amigurumi cat pattern into a zebra with the use of black & white yarn. For the body I used a yarn that changed from black to gray to white and back again. For the arms, legs, and tail I used black and white yarn, crocheting it in a spiral pattern that looks like seamless stripes. I then crochet the eyes (3 rounds for the white and 1 round for the black) and embroidered the mouth and nose. For the chain loop at the top I used the already attached yarn from sewing the ears. I hope that she likes it. My husband liked it and wants me to make him a cat one. It was his idea to add the little bit of white to the side of the pupil (light reflection).
