Important information:

  • The pattern does not include any crochet lessons. You need to have basic crochet skills.
  • Skill level - intermediate.
  • I crochet X stitches.
  • The size of your toy can be different from mine. It depends on materials, crochet hook, and gauge.
  • Materials for a cotton and plush toy are given in the pattern.
  • In the case of using the listed materials, the size of the otter made from half-cotton is 16 cm, and the plush is 27 cm.
  • Pieces are made in a spiral unless the other method is specified. The toy is made in one piece except for the head.
  • I recommend using the same yarn for clothes from which the toy is made.
