Great design.
Creative and clever.
Unusual to see a worked-flat knitted design.
Love it.

I appreciate that the designer discusses gauge.
For amigurumi, that’s a rarity.
She states that determining gauge is tricky with faux fur yarn. So true.
Designer advises that if one is a loose gauge knitter to go down a needle. Next time, will use US 8.0 mm needles. With 2 str tog: this faux fur + fingering, gauge is a bit tight and hard to work.

Held Woolike double with US 5 needles for face details.

Held taupe yarn double with US 7 needles for head and paws.

I found it easier to place face details on after stuffing.
That’s the case for me, typically.

Placed magnets in the paws for the interactive magic. Secured them inside tightly woven fabric mini-sachet. Placed a movable joint between the head and the body.

Did you know:
Sloths have a 270 degree head rotation.
Yes.
Extra, specialized vertebrae.
Evolved defense mechanism.
