It’s just about a foot tall. The pattern itself is easy, but the part with the fur yarn is more difficult if you don’t like being unable to see your stitches.
I don’t have a great estimate for the time, but I got most of it done after work on Monday. Maybe 6-8 hours?
I had to share this pic of my cat for scale, haha. He crashed my photoshoot.
Aww thanks! If you’re ok with it not being fluffy, you can do it with regular yarn if you want. I mostly need to make sure I didn’t typo or mis-count anywhere.
If you use Bernat blanket in place of the fur, just use the recommended 6.5 hook. You may want to size down the other yarn to a 5 or 4 gauge and pick a different hook otherwise the body will be proportionally smaller with a thinner yarn than the fur.
