Despite being an alligator and slightly angry looking 24/7, Appleton is a rather chill fellow with a good heart. He's particularly fond of pond apples, a type of fruit that grow abundantly in his swampy, mangrove home. He's so fond of them, the other animals in the Everglades named him Appleton after his apple obsession. When he's not chowing down on apples, you can find him basking in the sun, or going for a nice swim in the cool waters of the Florida Everglades. He's a cuddly little guy, waiting to find is forever home.

This is a baby Appleton the alligator doll made by me using my Appleton the Alligator Crochet Pattern. It is made of 100% cotton yarn and filled with hypoallergenic poly-fil. The doll measure 13.5 inches in length, 2.5 inches tall (at its tallest point), and 4.5 inches wide (at its widest point).

All body parts are securely crocheted together or sewn on. However, everything has its limits, and excessive pulling can cause the any of the pieces to come off. Please supervise young children when playing with this doll as any part of the doll can come off with enough force and pose a choking hazard.

Please allow 1 week for processing and shipping. Due to covid-19, I am only going to the post office once a week in an attempt to prevent possible exposure to my family, my community and myself. I'm sorry for any inconveniences this may cause and thank you for understanding.

All items are made in a cat friendly house. Materials and finished products are kept in closed boxes and storage containers that are not accessible to the cat.

Each item is made to be sturdy, but please handle with care. When necessary, spot clean with a damp towel and allow to fully dry before resuming use. Item colors may vary due to lighting and computer/electronic device displays.

This is an original TonkiCrafts design and handmade by myself. Even though I follow the same pattern to make similar items, they will inevitably all be slightly different. Each item will be unique in its own way.
