Yarn & Hook Recommendations For The Best Results
For this project, be sure to use special fleece sherpa yarn with a super fluffy texture, incredibly soft to the touch.
The designer chose Lion Brand Go For Fleece Sherpa in Honey color to make the bear and Cream color for the bunny. Pair this jumbo yarn with a 6.5 mm crochet hook that will ensure your stitches are tight without gaps that could reveal the filling.
To bring these cute crochet cuddly toys, you will also need a large yarn needle for sewing, 18 mm safety eyes, and stuffing.
Is Fleece Yarn Hard To Work With?
If you are an absolute beginner, working with this type of yarn can be tricky for you, so I don’t recommend using this pattern as your first crochet plushie project.
The fleece sherpa yarn is extremely fluffy, which makes it very difficult to work with, as the stitches are not quite visible. The good news is that it is also very forgiving of minor mistakes. Stitch markers will certainly help you track your place throughout the pattern, so be sure to use them while working on this project.
Stitches and Techniques Used For This Pattern
The Fleece Teddy & Bunny are worked in the round in separate pieces using simple stitches.
Since the yarn used for this project makes it difficult to see the stitches, you will shape your toy mostly by threading the yarn in strategic places. This means that there is minimal increasing and decreasing, and you will create very basic shapes for all parts of the toy.
