She's made in two yarn weights so the leaf and purse stay delicate against the chunky velvet body, and the finished result looks like something you'd find in a boutique, not on a craft table. Once you see how the popcorn stitches texture her belly, you'll want to start immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0673\/3624\/1200\/files\/baby-koala-6-angle.png?v=1784785999\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"420\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003eStep-by-step written PDF pattern in US crochet terms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003eFull body-to-head construction worked in one continuous piece, no seaming the main body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"\u003eInstructions for all separate components: two ears, one eucalyptus leaf, and one tiny purse with a bow strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,3,0\"\u003eFelt face guidance for the nose and eye patches, with placement reference photos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4,4,0\"\u003ePopcorn stitch belly texture built into the body rounds for a finish that reads handcrafted, not basic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat You'll Need:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003eBulky weight yarn (Category 5) in grey for the body, designer used Bernat Velvet in grey with a 5.75mm hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003eWorsted weight yarn (Category 4) in green for the leaf and purse, designer used Peaches and Creme Cotton Yarn with a 4.25mm hook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003eBrown felt for the nose and eye patches, cut into two small circles and a rounded triangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,3,0\"\u003eHot glue for attaching the felt face details\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,4,0\"\u003ePolyfill stuffing and a yarn sewing needle for finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"7,5,0\"\u003eStitches used: single crochet (sc), popcorn stitch (pc), magic ring (mr), front loop only (flo), increase (inc), invisible decrease (dec), half double crochet (hdc), double crochet (dc), slip stitch (sl st), chain (ch), fasten off (FO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSkill Level:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"13\"\u003eIntermediate.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eYou'll need to be comfortable working in continuous rounds and switching between two yarn weights, but nothing here is out of reach if you've made a few amigurumi before.
