The repetitive actions needed for knitting and crochet can bring the mind and body to a state called a "relaxation response" that is quite similar to what people experience with techniques such as repetitive prayer, yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, and other relaxation disciplines. Research at the Harvard Medical School Mind/Body Institute has found that when an individual is crocheting (or knitting) his/her heart rate can drop 11 beats a minute and his/her blood pressure drops as well. These results can have significant health benefits for people who knit and crochet. Therefore, I am a man who crochets. I design my own crochet and sell patterns and finished projects.

Love it! Is it a free pattern? Or your own creation....?
Yes, it's a free pattern - I've updated the post with the link to the pattern.
Enjoy!
He's cute, does this mean that you will be making more amigurumi?
When I made my first one I didn't realize how addictive they are.
Yes, they are seriously cute and addictive - I made a couple of bears (different design) for Christmas presents. I'm certain I'll be making more...
