MATERIALS AND TOOLS

• any smooth or velour yarn. To make the two-color bull terrier I used Vita Brilliant Yarn (45% wool, 55% acrylic; 380 m/100 g) of the following colors: baked milk (5108) (MC) - 50 g; white (4951) (CC) - 25 g. 1.5 mm crochet hook. To make nose I used leftovers of black color yarn.
• to make the gray bull terrier I used Alize Angora Real 40 (40% wool, 60% acrylic; 480 m/100 g) - ivory (599) - 50 g. 1.25 crochet hook.
• to make eye whites you will need embroidery thread or Iris yarn. You can use any cotton yarn or just a piece of white felt. I used Vita Pelican yarn (100% mercerized cotton, 330 m/50 g). You will need just leftovers of these yarns.

TIP: If you need exactly the same yarn you can ask via private message in this shop on Etsy

• embroidery thread of black color to embroider the mouth
• cotton yarn to match MC to embroider the smile
• 1.5 mm cooper wire - approx. - 1.5-2 m. You can buy this wire in a craft s hop, but I suggest buying it in an electronic goods store. There you can buy a 31.5 cord. Before buying the cord, make sure that the wire inside it is whole and does not consist of several thin wires. With a paper knife, remove the insulation.
• stuffing polyester
• white fabric plaster or insulation tape
• toy eyes or beads or semi beads to make eyes. You will need 2 items. The size of the beads is 8-10 mm (or bigger or smaller depending on your toy).

Optional materials:

• 2.528 mm cotter-pin - 1 item, M3 washer - 2 items, 40-45 mm plywood or cardboard disk - 2 items (pay attention that the size of the disk depends on the inner diameter of the neck). You can sew the head on the body. In this case, you don’t need cotter pins, washer or disks.
• transparent glue (if you want to glue the eyes on instead of sewing them on)
• dry pastel colors to tint of the following colors: dark-brown and pink. For the grey dog, you will also need dark-gray pastel color to tint between folds.
• thin (0.5-0.7 mm) black permanent marker or ballpoint pen
• decorative collar or bow

TOOLS:

• 1.25 or 1.5 mm crochet hook (the size of the hook depends on the yarn you use). 1 mm crochet hook to make the eye whites
• pins
• wire cutter
• round pliers to twist cotter-pins
• hard synthetic paintbrush to tint the toy. (I used a flat brush # 5)
• wide brush to tint the cheeks
