4. Designer Notes / Tips

When crocheting the Boba Plush, you’ll want to focus on maintaining consistent tension to create smooth rounds. Use stitch markers to indicate the start of each round, which will help you keep track of your progress. The plushie uses basic stitches, including single crochet (sc) and increase (inc), making it accessible for beginners.

As for stuffing, aim for a light to medium density. You don’t want to overstuff, as it can lose its plushy feel, but you also want it to hold its shape nicely. For assembly, I recommend sewing the eyes on before stuffing the head to ensure they are securely placed and to avoid any mishaps with positioning. If you want to customize the colors further, consider using different shades for the boba and cup outline, providing a unique flair to your plushie.

Make sure to check your gauge as you go along, though the plushie’s size allows for some flexibility without compromising the overall look. Lastly, if you’re making this for a child, be sure to securely attach all pieces to ensure safety.
