The plushies will be about 18cm tall (not including the antennae). I recommend using a light weight yarn so that the ears will stand on their own. I used 100% cotton yarn with a 2.5mm needle.
Enjoy the pattern! 🙂
What you need:
- Crochet needle 2,5 mm

Tips on how to change color.
When the changing color, start the stitch as you normally would, but before finishing the stitch (when you throw the yarn over the hook and pull it through the last loop), you let go of color A, and switch to color B, throw it over the hook and pull it through the last loop. This will leave the color B on your hook so that you can start crocheting in that color.
If and when my pattern states that the first color in the next round is another color then the last stitch from the previous round, that means you have to start switching in the last stitch on the previous round.
Example:
R11: (s) (7sc, inc) x4 (36) (here you switch in the last Sc of the INC)
R12: (b) 1sc (s) 4sc, ((b) 2sc (s) 4sc)) x5, (b) 1sc (36)
