Happy to share today this beautiful West Highland White terrier amigurumi pattern! Ideafix is the best friend of Obelix and, together with Asterix, they live amazing adventures together!
As a big fan myself of Asterix and Obelix, I need to make this tribute for them! My father is a huge fan and I grew up reading their comics. Until today, the best gift to give to my father is a new edition of the Adventures of Asterix and Obelix!
