Notes

An insightful design.
Part of a happy family:
Baby Koala for Luca.

Added a pouch.

For some reason, the head shape on mine isn’t as rounded as I’d like, but, oh well.

Recommendation # 1:
Make the head without the white color work for the chin area. Work regular sc’s, spacing decreases evenly.
Embroider the chin on after it is stuffed.

Recommendation # 2:
Ears:
Follow directions for the fuzzy strands, cutting one end so you have many 6 - 8” strands.
Separate the plies of each long strand, then, keeping the group together, cut in half. Put one set on one ear and the other set on the other ear.
This way, you don’t have to separate twice as many strands and the ears will have the same number of fuzzy groups applied.
