I write my patterns a bit differently.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
R1 (_)= Row 1 (_)<-number of stitches per row
ch=chain
sc= single crochet/ stitch*
sc around= 1 sc in each hole (to build the plush up straight/tall)
inc=increase
dec= decrease
*You can change the stitches to 'half double crochet' if you want, thicker stiches to make a bigger plushie.
You can also use 2 strands of different yarn together (and can use different colours to create nice colour combinations!^_^) to make a bigger plush (might have to use a bigger hook).
A great way to create a different size while following the exact same pattern. This way you don't have to think up a new pattern figuring out how to make it bigger.
The plushie will look bigger or smaller depending on the thickness of the yarn. (Btw, I dont pay attention to my yarn or hook size. I use any size and then just change to a bigger hook if the yarn seems too thick for it)
