Always on the lookout for toy patterns! I love making them for my grandkids and even for donations. Spread the love and all that? Also, this particular one would be good to add to an Easter basket along with all the other goodies, like mini Easter eggs! The only thing would be you would have to be careful of the candies.

Directions are not complete enough for me to be able to finish this project. It says nothing about attaching the ears, let alone how to attach the ears without them flopping all over the place. The head is way too big, as others have said. The ears are bigger than the arms and legs. This is an extremely frustrating pattern, and I am very annoyed that the directions are not better.

Hello readers. I know there was some concern about this pattern...just wanted to say that I checked with the designer and this is the correct pattern. You may want to make sure you have the right sized crochet hook, as well as the correct yarn. If you're using different yarn, check your gauge to make sure the measurements are correct. Good luck!

I ordered this pattern and followed the instructions exactly. When I completed the head, compared to the body, it seemed way outsized for the body. It looks ridiculous. It goes up to 77 sts. while the body has 49. Is this right???

I don't have an answer but, since I was thinking of making this, I am very interested in the response. Perhaps knowing there are two of us waiting will stir something up.
