When my friend, Stacy, called me in October telling me that the only gift her daughter requested for Christmas was a pink alligator, I knew I needed to help her out. I mean, every girl needs a pink gator, right?
As I browsed Ravelry, I found the perfect pattern, Plush Alligator by Kristi Benedict. It was well worth the $5. The belly is my favorite! This gator is actually quite long, 18 inches, if I remember correctly, but it knits up super fast using a bulky yarn. I used Lion Brand Thick & Quick in white and pink and wooden buttons for the eyes. I'm a total fan of wooden buttons.
If you know a girl who needs a pink gator, let me know, because I'm in the business of making sure every girl has a pink gator in her life. :)
Linking up with Jennifer @ Studio JRU for Sneak Peek Friday. It's the highlight of my week. You should check it out!

Oh, Jen!! Another masterpiece!!! LOVE that little pink gator! I just had a request from my daughter for another bunny (so the Littlest Man will have one to match his big brother's Coco O'Hare). Maybe... I could interest them in a gator! Too cute!! Very well done. blessings ~ tanna

Oh yes... every girl needs a pink gator! Love it! And the belly is so sweet! :)
Well, I think now I can say that I have seen everything! Does she (the gator) giggle when you tickle it's tummy? *smiles*
How cute is that! I am sure she just loves it to pieces. :)
