Notes

• Instead of regular decreases, I tend to use invisible decreases when I create a plush. I recommend that you use the method of your preference, it will not change the outcome of the work.
• Invisible decrease = an alternative method of decreasing, which makes your decrease stitches more even.
• It’s very important to count your stitches!
• It’s a good idea to make the nose, the horns and the ears first, so you can sew them on before closing the plush.
• Cotton filling.
• Black plastic safety eyes.
• Crochet hook in size 3mm / 2mm.
• Stitch marker.
• 6mm plush yarn / 2mm cotton yarn.
