The yarn I used is Red Heart Plush in Coconut and Blueberry. I sewed the 20 inch zipper in by using Dritz Wonder Tape to hold it in place, and I set my Bernina sewing machine to have a longer stitch to accomodate the fluffy texture. This fits a 0-6 month old child. The hdc I used keeps it from taking forever to make, but the stitch is still dense enough with the Plush yarn to make it cozy and cuddly for Little D.
