Crochet Furby pattern!

So I have this friend who has this hilarious Furby costume that she acquired when she was in like the third grade. It's like a giant sack, so when she was little it fit her whole body and now that she's grown it still fits her torso, she just has to wear pants with it now (hahaha). Her mom asked me if I could crochet her a Furby for her birthday, and of course I had to try.

Who freakin knew crochet Furby patterns even existed??? It took me a while to settle on one - some of them didn't even really look like Furbies (more like owls or weird birds???), but I figured I'd be able to draw parts from each of them to create what I was looking for. I finally chose this Furby pattern from Lori-Anne Ketola on Ravelry, with some of my own modifications of course. Here is my finished product!!

Obviously, I opted out of using the feather style yarn. I just didn't think it was necessary, and since I wanted my Furby to be black I knew that it would probably be much easier to just work with regular yarn! What I liked best about this pattern was the ears - I thought they looked the most like Furby ears, especially with the little tufts at the top!!

Since I didn't use feather yarn, I also opted to make pom-poms for the head tuft and tail rather than follow the pattern, because I knew that the regular yarn wouldn't produce the "fluff" I was looking for by just crocheting it. I use a Clover pom-pom maker, which, as I've mentioned before, I love using!

I also reworked the feet here. I tried to do the ones in the pattern but for some reason had some trouble with them (I can't remember what the problem was now!) I kind of made up my own pattern for the feet. You can find that pattern below!

My friend LOVED her gift. I cracked up when her mom asked me to make it for her because honestly it is SO HER and it's just so funny. 

Here is the pattern I made up for the feet!!
