Scrappy the Sloth is a fluffy amigurumi with the most colorful fur you've ever seen (or snuggled!). And to add to this cool crochet pattern, it is done completely using scrap yarn! Yep, Scrappy is a stash busting amigurumi. Scrappy the Sloth is made up almost entirely of scrap yarn. His claws and face are the only parts that call for a specific color. He is done with the loop stitch, then the loops can be cut and brushed (optional) for his super fluffiness.
