In this tutorial, I’m walking you through exactly how I add weighted pellets to my crochet plushies so they sit nicely, feel extra snuggly, and still do that perfect “sploot” that sploot patterns are known for. I go over the basic idea of where I like to place weight (think: helping the body feel grounded without making it stiff), and how I keep the pellets contained so they don’t migrate around inside the plush over time. If you’ve ever finished a plushie and thought, “Why won’t you sit right?!”, this is for you. I also show how I sew the head to the body in a way that supports a cute sitting posture while keeping the movement and softness you want in a plushie. This is one of those small construction steps that makes a huge difference in the final look—especially for snugglers and splooty little critters. My goal is always heirloom-quality finishes that hold up, photograph well, and feel amazing in your hands, and these tips are part of what gets you there.
