I love the realistic markings on this design. The patterns layout of rows makes it easy to follow for each color change. Just take your time and he'll turn out the same!(I say this from experience lol) Photo is great help for eye placement. The shaping of the head and body are worked into the pattern as you go. Lots of helpful tips and photos for creating a "perfect" amigurumi--I used quotes because each amigurumi I've made is always different, but with it's own personal pizazz :D HIGHLY Recommend!
