The pattern includes a guide with many different options for creating the arms. There is also an additional 15-page, printer-friendly version of the pattern included. The body and arms are all crocheted as one piece, and the bottom is crocheted on, which reduces the amount of sewing! This pattern has been thoroughly tested and proofread to be easy to follow.

The recommended yarn/hook combo will result in a project yarn/hook combo will result in a project approximately 28 in / 70 cm long from arm to arm and 8 in / 20 cm tall from head to bottom. However, feel free to use your preferred yarn/hook combo. Using a thicker yarn will result in a larger finished project.
