Koala Nose and Head:
- With black yarn, create a slip knot.
- Chain 8.
- Double crochet into the third chain from the hook.
- Double crochet one in each of the next five chains.

Switch to Gray Yarn for the Head (using the 7mm hook):
- Single crochet in the first five stitches.
- Make single crochet increases in the next four stitches.

- Create ears and an optional bow using the instructions provided, then sew them to the head.
Body:
- Remember to maintain the Koala's body flat under the head by not increasing past a certain point (the video should provide specific row counts for increases).
- Continue crocheting the body rectangle until the desired length is achieved.
- Make the arms and legs by folding corners and crocheting through both layers to give a rounded appearance.
Final Touches:
