MATERIALS

• 5 skeins of Blue Sky’s Bulky, 50% Alpaca and 50% Wool. This color is Blossom. (Another option: 2 skeins of Cascade’s Magnum, 100% Wool in the color Cotton Candy.)

• A 20-inch, US #15 circular needle

• A set of US #15 double pointed needles

• 2 bags of stuffing

• 2 buttons (for the eyes), 1 1/4 inches in diameter. I used Riche’s Medium Felt Buttons, color Grey (Or try Ecru, Brown, Pink or Olive!). Other good alternatives would be Dill’s Marbelized Buttons or Large Ridged Buttons.

• Scrap yarn (for the nostrils). I used Blue Sky’s Bulky, color Grey Wolf.

• Scrap yarn (to sew on buttons). I used Koigu’s KPM Needlepoint Yarn, color #2405.

• A jumbo stitch marker and a jumbo removable stitch marker (both optional)
