Pattern comes in a PDF format, has been tested for clarity and ease of reading, and has tons of notes and additional photos, plus a video of assembly to help you create the softest and cutest pillow around! Written pattern is my own creation and NOT to be sold or republished in any form. You may sell finished items giving me credit.

There are THREE files that come with purchase, labeled Beginner and Advanced and Large Print. They are exactly the same pattern, however chose the one that corresponds to your experience in reading pattern. The Advanced pattern is shorter, has less notes and pictures, and is written out less. The Large Print is the same as the beginner and also has more spaces between lines.

EXPERIENCE LEVEL and TIME:
I do not want to put a label the experience needed for this project and make some feel like this patten is not for them. The same with how long this project takes as it varies so much by crocheter. That said, this would be a great project if you are fairly new to crocheting and looking to expand your knowledge with a stuffed animal! It’s also a quick and easy project for more experienced crocheters! It works up fairly quick, it took me under 4 hours!
