3. Materials Needed

– Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in lavender (approximately 150 yards), mint green (approximately 100 yards), and cream (approximately 50 yards)

– Hook: 3.5mm or 4.0mm crochet hook

– Eyes: Safety eyes (12mm) OR black embroidery thread for stitching eyes

– Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill stuffing

– Needle: Tapestry needle for sewing pieces together

– Marker: Stitch marker

4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch technique: This pattern primarily uses single crochet (sc) stitches, which are great for beginners. If you’re feeling adventurous, try incorporating a half double crochet (hdc) into the body to give it a bit more texture!

– Stuffing density: For a plushie like this, a light stuffing gives it a squishy feel, while firmer stuffing will help it maintain shape. Choose based on your preference!

– Assembly: As you join the limbs and head to the body, make sure to use a whip stitch for a seamless look. You might also want to pin pieces together first to ensure proper alignment before sewing.

– Yarn substitutions: If you prefer a more vibrant look, consider using cotton yarn for a slight sheen or a fluffy yarn for a super cuddly finish. Just keep in mind that gauge may vary.

– Gauge tips: For this project, the gauge is not critical; however, if you want a more structured look, work a gauge swatch to ensure your stitches are consistent.

– Safety considerations: If making this bunny monster for a young child, consider using embroidered eyes instead of safety eyes to ensure it is child-safe.
