Are you ready? Before we jump in, let’s go over some common questions to help you get started.

Things To Know Before You Start

1. Choose The Yarn You Love

You can use any type of yarn you love, like cotton, plush, velvet, and so on paired with the right hook size. Different yarn thickness will change the size of your crochet piece: thinner yarn makes smaller piece, thicker yarn makes bigger piece.

2. My Crochet Method

My crochet method – I use the Yarn Under and the pieces are worked in Spiral Round (Continuous Round) Method.

3. Tension Differences

I crochet with a very tight tension. So, if you use the same yarn and hook size as me but your crochet piece turns out bigger or longer, that’s totally normal! You can adjust by adding or removing rounds where the stitch count stays the same.

For example, in the pattern:

Rounds 5 to 12: 30sc (8 rounds)

But if your tension is looser and 8 rounds make your crochet piece look too stretched or long, you can reduce 1 to 3 rounds to get the perfect shape.

4. Safety First for Little Ones

If you’re making this as a gift for a baby or young child, I recommend embroidering the details like the eyes, nose, and mouth instead of using plastic safety parts. Embroidered features are much safer for little ones 🙂

Now that you’ve read the tips, let’s move on to the Materials you’ll need!!!
