Stentors are just the cutest microorganisms! Big enough to be seen by the naked eye (that’s up to a whopping couple of millimetres), they can even regenerate after being cut into pieces, just a long as they have a bit of their beaded nucleus remaining.

The ButterflyLove pdf Amigurumi Stentor coeruleus knitting pattern gives you clear step by step instructions to make your own microbiological cutie.
