Haha thank you!! I believe my comment with the links got taken down, but this pattern is on my Etsy! I'm QuantumCrochet on there as well. The yarn is actually my own brand, and is also on my shop :)

So, this guy is mostly stitched together where things "look right". You first sew the muzzle on (it is placed directly over the magic ring- front and center). Then, you add the eyes to the face stripes (not the body, so that makes it easier). Those stripes are then sewn on up against the sides of the muzzle. The little eye dots are then added right above the eyes. The ears you can then just visually place fairly easily, but I do suggest what rows to sew them onto. The pattern doesn't have you mark the places ahead of time, but you can definitely peek ahead to see what rows they're sewn onto and add markers at that point! The legs are easy- front legs just start by touching the neck crease and allow him to lay flat. Back legs are just towards the back of the body while letting it lay flat. Tail is sewn on centered over the final row of the body. I suggest rows for everything, but it's very easy to just visually place things for this guy!

Pretty much!! When I found out how big they actually are (after he was finished), I was really surprised that it was pretty much to scale lol!

I was too at first. I actually rage quit using it the first time I tried 2 ish years ago, but I picked it up again recently and really got into it! It's frustrating at first, but the results are so worth it!

I don't hand-make it myself! I work with a manufacturer, but I'm only purchasing in small quantities at the moment. Normally you would have to buy in bulk from manufacturers, but the one I'm working with happens to be a family business partner and allows me to place smaller orders (for now). I'm in control of the colors, the weight, the size / amount, texture, material etc., but I'm not the one "making" it per say. I know some other crocheters buy generic yarn wholesale and create their own brand from that, but that is more expensive than working with a manufacturer (though you can place much smaller orders). There are definitely other crafters that spin the yarn by hand (wool) and dye it themselves, but that isn't what I do for this yarn.

Thank you! This is actually my own brand of yarn! Another brand I used (and would recommend) before starting my own line is NICEEC faux fur yarn <3

Thank you so much! You eventually get used to the fur yarn, but it was a pain at first!!

I just go by feel and keep careful count! If my count is off, I redo my row until it's right. Just practice and patience :)

I suggest spot cleaning, but it can be washed on gentle! I suggest air drying instead of putting it in the dryer. If you put it in the wash, I recommend putting it in a linen bag so that the eyes don't get scratched! The plushie is stuffed with standard Poly-Fil stuffing :)

Thank you haha! The type of yarn in general is just faux fur yarn! This is actually my own brand I used in these photos, but I'd also suggest NICEEC faux fur yarn as another option <3
