This pattern creates a plush toy using 4-weight yarn but it works up fairly well with any yarn weight. From the nose to tip of tail is all worked up in one piece. Then, the ridges are surface-crocheted onto the body for added texture. All four legs are worked up in the same fashion and sewn onto the body.
