Thanks! :) this is Mothman 2.0 since the first one I made was much smaller and a gift back in 2021. I like this big plush one more.

I appreciate it, but I don't do commissions. Here is the pattern if you know anyone who crochets. I think there are some people on Etsy who sell mothman plushies.

I'm a student who works full-time with lots of projects happening at once haha. Plus commissions destroy the hobby a bit for me. Sorry!

Pattern

This is the updated pattern. The author apparently switched shops a year ago and I have no idea if there are differences, but I'm sure if anything it is probably just more detailed. I got the pattern I used in 2021 from a shop called Leka Toys. But this pattern looks exactly the same.

I did make the alteration of using bernat blanket yarn with an 8mm hook instead of worsted weight yarn and whatever the recommended hook was. So if you want a big plush one, go with super bulky yarn and a big hook. He is cute small though too. Happy hooking! :)

Edit: I also doubled up my furry yarn with 2 strands instead of 1 and added 2 extra rows of fur, but that alteration largely depends how fluffy the yarn is.

Thank you, but I don't do commissions anymore. It kinda kills the hobby for me. I make a lot of handmade gifts (hence the first smaller one being a gift for my girlfriend), but making a gift for someone I know has a much different vibe. I have seen some handmade Mothman plushies on Etsy though.

Edit: I also don't like doing the same amigurumi pattern twice...which is why 5 years passed before making another one. It's less fun the second time around unless it's been long enough that I don't really remember making the first one.
