Pattern Details –

Kevin the Koala is a soft, unstuffed plushie designed to be both a lovable companion and a cozy comfort toy. Measuring approximately 13 inches (34 cm) in length, Kevin is the perfect size for little arms to cuddle or for display as a handmade décor piece. Their unique unstuffed design gives a gentle, floppy feel—ideal as a lovey or lightweight plush.  This pattern is worked in pieces from the top down, starting with the head and continuing seamlessly into the body. Each section is crocheted in the round, and the finished touches include embroidered nose and a pair of expressive 9mm safety eyes (or embroidered alternatives for baby safety).
