Misu the sloth

With this very easy pattern, you can make a super cute and realistic looking sloth plushy.

Size: 5.2 inch / 13 cm sitting when made with Istex Lett Lopi and hook E / 3,5 mm.

The instructions are written in US crochet terms. The pattern contains a list of materials, tools and accessories needed. Brand and colour numbers of the needed yarn. A clear and colour coded description of how to crochet and assemble the animal. Pictures and illustrations to help getting everything right.

Materials: You’ll need at least three main colours, I used five: murky brown (1/3 of a 100 yard skein), beige (leftover bit), dark brown (leftover bit), oatmeal (claws, leftover bit) and black brown for the nose and mouth (leftover bit). For the eyes I’ve used 8 mm animal eyes. You will also need fibrefill and pellets for extra weight in the body (I use Hama beads). Lopi colour numbers: 1420, 0086, 0867, 1419, 0052.
