Modifying the pattern when using chunky yarn, how should I go about it?

Ive made two (very bald) mushroom guys so far, and recently got some super chunky yarn that I want to try making another guy with! One of my friends told me that I should modify what I’m doing when using chunky yarn because of the bulk, which i never thought about but makes a lot of sense. Should I do a MR of 3 to start, then increase to 6 and follow the pattern by half? For those who did it with chunky yarn, did you not modify it at all? Just wanted some advice from all the toddler sized mushroom guy havers!

How do you wash your toddler-sized mushrooms?

Idk if it's visible on camera but he's been kinda dusty (especially since white gets dirty pretty easily)

It's done and I didn't lose my mind ! 🥳

Here my cute "little" guy !

3 days late but I was finally able to give it to my mum as a mother day gift 😁 she didn't exepect something so big (38cm high !) and fluffy and was really happy about it.

Finished my first mushroom guy!

My wife bought the pattern for me for my birthday, and it was so fun to make. Definitely going to be making more.

These spots are making me crazy !

Making them was already taking away my spirit but sewing them is even worst 😅 I think I going to dream about a magic circle running after me while screaming "YOU FORGOT TO ATTACH ME !!!" 🤣

My Blue Fun Guy

He is weighted with sealed bags filled with beans in his toes so he can stand on his own! Finished him a while ago but never shared him. Its the first larger stuffy I've made, so there room for improvement, but I really liked this pattern and will make it again in a heartbeat! (pls dont mind the cat hair- my cat also loves him)
