4. Designer Notes / Tips

When working on this corn plush, you’ll use basic crochet stitches like single crochet (sc) and increases (inc) to create the desired shape. Don’t worry if you’re new to these techniques; I’ll guide you through each round. For the best texture, make sure to keep your tension consistent, as this will affect the plushie’s overall appearance.

For stuffing, aim for a firm density to help your corn plush maintain its shape while still being squeezable. You’ll want to stuff the body as you go to make it easier to shape. When assembling the pieces, use a tapestry needle to sew securely, ensuring that everything stays together while still looking neat.

If you’re looking for yarn substitutions, any medium weight yarn will work, but consider using a soft, squishy acrylic blend for a cuddly finish. Lastly, if you’re making this plushie for a child, make sure to securely fasten the safety eyes or opt for embroidered eyes for added safety.

Assembly:
