The finished man is approximately 5,12 inches (13 cm) tall.

Materials needed
• 4 double-pointed needles in a size suitable for the yarn weight you are using. I recommend using needles a size or two smaller than the yarn calls for, to produce a firm fabric. İ used Needles size US 2½ (3mm).
• White and red yarns. I used Nako Denim/ 60% cotton, 40% acrylic ; 100gr – 200m /
• Toy stuffing
• Yarn needle
• Stitch holder
• Flexible aluminum wire ( 2 mm thikness )

All rows are worked in the round, this helps avoid ugly seams.
