Design Notes:
For this pattern I used Caron 1lb. I find this worsted weight yarn to be thicker than other worsted weight yarns. If using any other brand, I suggest using a 4.0mm crochet hook or smaller. You can use any yarn weight and appropriate hook to create this pattern. This will affect the size of your finished piece. Amigurumi does need to be crocheted tightly so the stuffing does not show through. If using a different yarn weight, make sure to use a smaller hook than the yarn recommends. In addition, safety eyes can be considered a choking hazard. If you intend on giving this doll to a child under 3 years old, it is highly suggested you use yarn eyes in place of the plastic safety eyes.
