There is a calm strength in a camel at rest.
Sahra is designed to capture that grounded, patient posture — a camel that kneels, waits, and carries stories rather than weight. This is not a stiff standing toy, but a realistic, softly weighted amigurumi that naturally settles into place.

This pattern focuses on joint shaping, balance, and posture, making Sahra an heirloom-style project for intermediate crocheters who enjoy sculptural amigurumi.
