Meet Joey the Firefighter Koala €“ a brave baby koala who fights fires to save the homes of his friends. The finished koala ends up approximately 12cm tall when sitting down (including Hat/beanie) using similar yarn and hook size. Thinner yarn and a smaller hook size will produce a smaller koala, and vice versa.
Gauge is not important - just make sure the stitches are tight enough so tHat/beanie the stuffing doesn't show through.
The pattern uses UK terminology.
