Loomigurumi Capybara Tutorial (Rainbowloom)

Loomigurumi Capybaras design by me. Someone commented recently asking me to make a capybara and I just happened to have time to make one. Also one of my friends really loves capybaras and is always sending me videos of them. They are such weird animals but I am pretty happy with how this design looks. I think I capture the essence of a capybara pretty well. If anyone knows why capybaras have things on their heads all the time let me know. Maybe I only saw one capybara with a orange on it's head and it stuck with me. Anyways I hope you guys like this design and don't forget to share your capybaras with me :D
