This is a pattern to create an amigurumi plushie sloth. It requires knowledge of basic crochet techniques incl7ding increase and decreases. There are several videos helpimg with these steps included in the pattern. Gauge is not important, neither is the yarn used. However they may result in a larger or smaller finished product than I shown. Mine measured 40 cm long by 45 cm wide. It is suitable for a confident beginner.
