This pattern creates a small, furry opossum with a soft chenille-and-eyelash-yarn body and a hanging tail that allows it to be displayed on a car mirror, hook, shelf, or plant. The body and head are worked with double-stranded 1.5 mm chenille yarn, and the fluffy effect is achieved by combining chenille with eyelash yarn.

The pattern is beginner-friendly, though working with fuzzy yarn may require a bit of extra patience. Stitch counts, photos, and tips for handling eyelash yarn are included to support clear and easy construction.

Finished size: approx. 15 cm (5.9 in) tall.
Yarn requirements: grey chenille, grey eyelash yarn, white chenille, pink chenille, and a small amount of black yarn for the ears.

All parts are crocheted separately and sewn together, with detailed assembly instructions provided.
