About Platypus Buddy Crochet Pattern
What we like about Platypus Buddy Crochet Pattern is how little it tries to be everything — it does animal, and that is the job we wanted filled on the Amigurumi and Toy Patterns shelf. The save count is still small at 5, so read this as our opinion and not a consensus. There are no reviews on it yet, so judge it by the preview and not by a score that does not exist. The designer behind it is Millers Handmade Treasures.
We would use it the way the listing hints — crochet — and that is also where we would start if you are trying it for the first time. Look for the finished measurements in the pattern. A toy that comes out half again as big is a different gift from the one in the photo. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
The words on the listing are crochet pattern, doll, platypus and stuffed animal, and they are worth reading as a description rather than as tags. The neighbouring searches are amigurumi, toy, plush, bear and bunny — worth a look if this particular pattern is close but not quite it. It is shelved with the rest of the amigurumi and toy patterns, and that is the quickest way to see what else sits in the same register before you settle on this one. Put next to the usual requests here — crochet stuffed animals, teddy bear nursery theme, vintage teddy bear nursery, doll handmade and handmade doll house — this one covers the plain version of the job, which is the version people need most often.

How to use this pattern
- Download the PDF from Creative Fabrica and check the yardage and hook size before you shop — a small gift rarely needs a full skein.
- Work the gauge swatch anyway on anything that has to fit, like a hat or a bracelet; on a stuffed toy you can skip it.
- Stuff toys firmer than feels right and close the seam with a ladder stitch — a gift gets squeezed, and loose stuffing shows within a week.
- Make the first one a week before you need it. The second one is always the one you give away.
