Finished GIR measures approx. 7” from the top of his head to his toes, excluding his ears, which are floppy. Feel free to change your hook size or gauge to adjust the size to meet your needs.

NOTE(S): I worked everything in tight BLO (back loop only) and I recommend you do the same because it creates a squishier plush. Regular sc makes plushies a bit more stiff than I like. Working regular sc shouldn’t greatly impact your gauge, but do a test swatch first if you insist. All rnds are continuous.
