What was your inspiration?

my 19 y/o son asked if I could make a stuffed animal of Hobbes for his friend

What are you most proud of?

How much crochet I remembered after not doing it for 8+ yrs. Also, proud that I could do this pattern as I have never done anything but, blankets, and something square/rectangle.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

just do it! I did have to tweak the rows a bit and do 2 orange for every one black, so they looked the same size. In the pattern she only had 4 stripes on the legs, but, I found that was too short, so there are places where you can have creative reign with it and still come out looking much like the original.

He's adorable. Making the pattern your own is what takes talent. Great job.
