"Hello! Thank you for choosing my pattern.

The inspiration for this friendly 'Yan' amigurumi came about during a crocheting session when my brother suggested the idea. Unable to find an existing pattern, I decided to create my own, and I'm delighted to share it with you. This is my first pattern release, and I hope you enjoy bringing your own 'Yan' to life.

This pattern offers the option of using safety eyes or crocheting them, with instructions for the crocheted eyes included.

Feel free to use any yarn weight you prefer. For my sample, I used worsted weight (weight 4) yarn for all components except the body, which I crafted with a bulky weight (weight 5) chenille yarn. While the choice is ultimately yours, I highly recommend using a soft, plush yarn for the body to achieve a wonderfully huggable texture.

The hook sizes I used were a 3.0mm hook for the worsted weight yarn and a 4.5mm hook for the bulky weight yarn."
