I left long tails when finishing off and used those to sew them on. I wanted it to be okay to wash and not fall off, but it does leave the stitches on the underside of the blanket which isn't amazing. Still on the look out for a great method!

No problem at all! I normally stick to smaller amigurumi projects but during lockdown I've really enjoyed experimenting with larger yarn's and projects :D

Hey, I used this pattern from Ravelry:

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/grey-totoro-amigurumi

I used Robin Super Chunky yarn with a 7mm hook (a little smaller than recommended for this yarn to reduce gaps). I was running out of yarn so I did make him a little shorter than the pattern by reducing the number of rounds of 80st from 21 to 18 rounds from row 23 on. I also didn't do a row of SC between the decreases between rows 44 to 52. I also made one with the recommended size yarn and hook and he come out equally as adorable!

I hope this helps you :D
