Before you start
The reversible popping shape depends on the recommended plush-yarn texture and your tension. Substituting other yarn weights or hook sizes may affect the toy's size and how the pops function. Follow the body → head → horns construction order for the no-sew approach.
Safety note: The pattern advises that the finished toy is not intended for children under three, due to safety eyes and the length of the toy. Follow its safety guidance.
