This pattern for classic Eeyore is so cute! It makes for the perfect toy, especially for a baby’s nursery. If you’re making this as a toy for a young child or baby, be sure to embroider the eyes rather than using safety eyes.

You can also make this pattern using fuzzy yarn. I used yarn I found on Amazon called “Buvemu Plush” for both the tail and the body. I used a lavender color for the body and a brown color for the tail/mane. I used a 5mm hook for this fuzzy yarn, even though the recommended size is a 6.5mm hook. Using a larger size hook makes the toy too floppy, try to size down!

If you’re new to using fuzzy yarn, don’t be afraid! The trick to using fuzzy yarn is to count the stitches as you go, rather than trying to see them. If you make a mistake and have too little or too many stitches at the end of the round, you can increase or skip stitches to get the correct stitch count. The beauty of fuzzy yarn is it’s ability to hide mistakes!
