What is an add-on? An add-on is a little additional pattern to a commercial lalylala pattern. Using the add-on you can modify the original amigurumi or add new parts to turn it into something else. You can't use an add-on without the original pattern that it's related to! Of course you don't necissarily need to use the add-on to modify crocus Carla.
