SCRAT!!! I'm a huge Scrat fan (though I'm not sure why) so I crocheted this nutty buddy.

I crocheted him because the new movie Ice Age is coming out. !ut if you ma"e him# ma"e sure you crochet his nut# too. $ )

%ote& If you do not have an acorn for Scrat to ho'd onto# you may want to ma"e his arms shorter.
