NOTES

  1. Sloth is made in one Body/Head piece. The Face, Arms, Legs, and Eye Patches are worked separately.
  2. Pieces are sewn together and stuffed to make the Sloth.
  3. Exact gauge is not crucial for this project. We worked tightly with a small hook so that stuffing wouldn’t show through.
  4. Do not trim yarn ends after sewing Patches to Face – you can use those ends to embroider the nose and mouth.
