Supplies:
1. Yarn: sport weight mercerized cotton yarn
– light gray - 40g – 100 m
– dark gray – 5g – 12,5 m
– black - 10 g – 25 m
– white - 5g – 12,5 m
– light pink – 5g – 12,5 m
– lime green – 10g – 25 m
2. Polyester fiberfill
3. Crochet hook: 2,5 mm, or in accordance with the yarn you use.
4. Stitch marker, or a little piece of a different color yarn.
5. Darning or embroidery needle.
6. One pair of 6 mm black safety eyes.
7. One piece of 12mm oval (or triangle) safety nose (sold as safety eye).
8. 40 cm of black embroidery thread for the face, and 20 cm for the navel.
Notes:
--- Work in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn if not instructed in the pattern.
--- Use a stitch marker. Place it at the last stitch of the row and always move it up when working always to
the last stitches of the rows.
--- When finishing any of the body parts except the head leave a long yarn tail (around 20 cm) which you can
use for sewing.
--- Fill the stuffing into the body parts while crocheting them. Be sure that you fill the legs and arms with the
same amount of fiberfill, so legs and arms at the left and right side will have the same shape.
--- For the thinner parts, like arms leave the starting yarn tail on the outside of the piece, so you will be able to
fix it, and hide it into the piece with a help of an embroidery needle after finishing the piece.
