How do I crochet an amigurumi sloth plush?

('Why Sloths Make a Fun Amigurumi Project', "A sloth's rounded shape and simple features (no complex facial detailing beyond eyes and a small snout) make it a friendly project for someone past their first amigurumi piece.")

("Materials You'll Need", 'Worsted weight yarn in brown and cream tones, a 3.5-4mm hook, polyester stuffing, and safety eyes are the core supplies, plus a yarn needle for seaming.')

('Shaping the Limbs', "A sloth's long arms and legs are worked as separate elongated tubes, stuffed lightly to keep them bendable and pose-able once attached to the body.")

('Attaching the Pieces', 'Limbs and the head are typically sewn on using a whip stitch or mattress stitch through both layers, keeping stitches small and even so the seam sits flush against the body.')

Key Takeaways

• A sloth's simple shape makes it a great next-level amigurumi project
• Elongated limb tubes should be stuffed lightly to stay pose-able
• Small, even whip stitches give the neatest seam when attaching pieces
