Notes

Well…made few changes:

  • changed it into a full body toy;
  • legs = 14 sc instead of original 16 sc;
  • tail increased to 24 sc and shortened to 33 rnds only;
  • head increased to 42 sc instead of 48;
  • ears made higher with 2 bottom rnds;
  • used 2 buttons of almost 2 cm in diameter for the eyes;
  • body increased to 48 sc then decreased differently to get to 24 sc on 2nd last rnd, then decreased to 18 sc to be able to sew the head on;
  • legs, tail and arms added / joined as I was working the body; ears and eyes sewed after head was made.

Final toy measures about 45 cm long from head to toes with legs stretched. I used almost all 200g of the light green yarn, about 47g of the pink one and around 80g of toy fibre filling…

Working with this type of furry yarn is difficult as I couldn’t see properly where to insert the hook nor to sew the head to the neck…

However, I love the outcome very much; the toy is very soft too. smiley
