Cieling hooks and wires connecting the plush to mm the hooks? A ladder/step stool? Laying it out on the bed and/or floor? Using a broom handle or an extendable claw tool to fetvthe stuffing in place?

Will any of these help?

Maybe sitting it on a Lazy Susan, spinnable office chair, or a kids merri-go-round toy thing? Something you can spin with your feet or a quick turn of the hand while working on it may help? Should remove the necessity of lifting and turning it with the full weight every time you need to rotate it to crochet a row

Even sitting it on a garbage bag and rotating the garbage bag with your feet (if possible but more possible if over carpet?) might help

I crochet in a recliner and with bigger things I tend to put between my legs and let the already stuffed parts slide down onto the floor to make room. Not sure if this helps, but works decently for me. Biggest one Iā€™ve made is a dragon that is nearly the same length as I am tall.

I would sit on a something tall so like a bed or even a table and let it fall to the ground that way your still crocheting where you nomraly would and if your project doesnā€™t quite touch the floor use your legs to hold it up so it doesnā€™t pull your hook away from the stitches (cause my guess it will be decently heavy)

Me too :joy:
I would say just sit in a tall chair and let it go on the floor, or maybe on the couch and just let it go on your lap and onto the floor (if it is that big)

Sit in a swivel chair at highest setting/or sit at the edge of your bed! That might help!

LOL! I made a goose too- mine is 2 ft! Is urs 5ft from grace face?

Suggestibles: let it slouch- donā€™t hold it- and I recommend a yarn bowl! Hope it helps!

I found a pattern- search up goose free hugs pattern- a website called amiguroomtoys should appear. I used a 9mm hook to make a 2 ft goose.

When I make huge plushies I ask my family if they can hold it while I crochet
