Some things to keep in mind before starting this pattern:

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

Reasons for Intermediate Level:

  1. Variety of Techniques: The pattern involves several techniques including working in rounds, increasing, decreasing, and joining pieces.
  2. Shaping: The body construction and the assembly require understanding of how to shape and form 3D objects from flat pieces.
  3. Assembly: The project involves assembling multiple parts (head, body, arms, ears, flower, and surfboard) which requires precise placement and sewing.
  4. Detail Work: Adding features like the scalloped edges for the top and skirt, and embroidering the nose involves some attention to detail and precision.

Tips for Success:

  • Stitch Markers: Use stitch markers to keep track of your rounds and stitches.
  • Consistent Tension: Maintain a consistent tension throughout your work to ensure the pieces fit together well.
  • Stuffing: Be sure to stuff the body and head firmly but evenly to maintain the shape of the plush.
  • Patience with Assembly: Take your time when sewing parts together to ensure proper alignment and a neat finish.

If you are comfortable with these techniques and enjoy detailed projects, this Hawaiian Hello Kitty plush will be a rewarding and adorable creation! Happy crocheting!
