This is the best depiction of the sea otter I have seen.
I worked for Friends of the Sea Otter, a non-profit in Carmel, California for over ten years. While this tidbit has nothing to do with the pattern, it has everything to do with the design. I have seen many patterns that are cartoon-like. You got the facial features and proportions correct, and they look like sea otters - not river otters. I’m looking forward to making them. Thank you very much,
