Working with Softy

We fully understand that Softy already frightens off in advance for some, because well ... it does not look so easy with this material. Still, crocheting with Softy for this pattern is not difficult, because: The body is first crocheted with Catona, after which the fur is crocheted upon Catona with Softy. As a result, this works in two ways: It is much easier to crochet and the cuddling toy gains a lot of extra strength. We say: give it a try!
