There’s just something so mesmerizing about sloths. Both my boys adore these funny little creatures and have had quite the collection of sloth teddies and toys over the years.
As Sammi the Sloth turned out to be such a relaxed and sleepy animal, I couldn’t resist knitting him a sleepsuit and sleeping hat!
