Another plushie I made that does not require any sewing!
You can use any yarn, as long as you use the right hook size. Here is how to find the right hook size for your yarn. For the orange one (keychain size), I used cotton yarn, a 2.5mm hook and 6mm safety eyes.
This plushie is worked in continuous rounds.
Abbrevations
- sc – single crochet
- inc – increase (sc2 in one stitch)
- dec – decrease (go from 2 stitches to one), I recommend using invisible decrease
- slst – slip stitch
- BLO – work in back loops only
- FLO – work in front loops only
