Pattern comes in a PDF format, has been tested for clarity and ease of reading, and has tons of notes and additional photos, plus a video of assembly to help you create the softest and cutest Koala around! Written pattern is my own creation and NOT to be sold or republished in any form. You may sell finished items giving me credit.

There are THREE files that come with purchase, labeled Beginner and Advanced and Large Print. They are exactly the same pattern, however chose the one that corresponds to your experience in reading pattern. The Advanced pattern is shorter, has less notes and pictures, and is written out less. The Large Print is the same as the beginner and also has more spaces between lines.

SIZE:
When finished, Koala measures approximately 14 inches tall while sitting, head is 7.5 inches wide, and foot to back is 12.5 inches. This may vary based on gauge.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:
-(1) 10.5 ounce/220 yd skein Bernat Blanket Yarn in Grey
-Small amount Bernat Blanket Yarn in Coal/Black
-Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn in Whitey White
For ears only: Small amount
For ears and optional belly: Approx. 0.5-1 ounce
-(2) 20mm safety eyes OR (2) 1 inch black buttons/black worsted weight yarn to stitch with
-Fiberfill Stuffing (approx. 7-8 ounces)
-Size L/8.00mm or M/9.00mm hook or size needed to achieve gauge
-Large Yarn Needle, Stitch Marker or Bobby Pin, Scissors
-Optional if you want hands/feet attachable and detachable: two small black buttons and small amount black worsted weight yarn to stitch with

STITCHES/TECHNIQUES USED:
Pattern is in U.S. terms. Chain, single crochet, half-double crochet, double crochet, invisible decrease (recommended), slip stitch, continuous rounds, sewing/stitching pieces together (experience with this helpful but not required).

EXPERIENCE LEVEL and TIME:
I do not want to put a label the experience needed for this project and make some feel like this patten is not for them. The same with how long this project takes as it varies so much by crocheter. That said, this would be a great project if you have a little experience with amigurumi/stuffed items but are wanting a new project. It’s not overly complicated and works up fairly quick due to the large yarn.
