I live in Panama where there are lots of two- and three-toed sloths. Sometimes at our little jungle makerspace, Digital Naturalism Laboratories, sloths will walk right through the back yard!

I wanted to make my own sloth in honor of a sloth named Mango who hangs around our town eating leaves off a mango tree. Mango is made with magnets in her arms so that she can hang off of strings, poles, and tree branches, just like real sloths like doing! This is my very first instructable! I hope you enjoy it!

I’ll show you how to knit your own Mango with tips and tricks on how to make her look her cutest. The main skills you will need are knitting in the round with double-pointed needles, basic crochet skills to make the face, and embroidering with chain stitch to make the claws.

You’ll need the following supplies. I’ll tell you what I used, but feel free to make substitutions - you don’t need the exact same materials as I used to make Mango. If you do make substitutions, just make sure that they are somewhat similar to what I used. If you change too much, like using very bulky yarn with size 3 needles, it will be very difficult to knit.

4 double-pointed needles, size 4/3.5 mm (or similar)
Yarn
    1 skein chocolate brown (I used Lana Moro Robin)
    small amount of white for claws (Bernat Soft n'Cozy, 4 ply worsted weight)
    small amount of cream for face
    black embroidery thread for embroidering claws (optional)
polyfill and/or yarn scraps for stuffing
scissors
tapestry needle (a needle with an eye big enough for yarn)
stitch marker (or a safety pin)
large safety pins
safety eyes (safety note: safety eyes and noses can be a choking hazard. Do not use them if you intend to give this to a small child. You can embroider or crochet the eyes and nose instead)
safety nose
small, powerful magnets
    I used 8 neodymium 1 mm diameter magnets.

    (you could also use other closures, such as snap but

    tons or hook & eyes).
