★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :
You can use any yarn that is comfortable and/or suitable for you.
I used «Pehorka New Kid’s» yarn (acrylic, 50g ~ 200m, 30sс in 4 inches), colors – grey, sand. To embroider the eyebrows you will need a black floss thread.

  • Hook №2 (2mm)
  • The plastic safety joints or cotter pins and joint disks: I used the disks 12mm in diameter for the arms (4pcs), 20mm in diameter for the legs (4pcs), 15mm in diameter for the head (2pcs), cotter pins 2х20mm (5pcs), washers – 10pcs
  • Fiberfill (to stuff)
  • Glue eyes 7mm
  • For trunk: 1mm thick wire, 1pc ~28cm long
  • Pink felting wool and 1 star felting needle №38 (felt cheeks)
  • A piece of plastic or cardboard for the sole, as well as a few beads or stones to weight the legs. Take, if possible, light-colored plastic and light-colored beads
  • For pants, you need fabric, a rectangle 23cm wide, 14cm high. 2 miniature 8mm buckles (you can take the usual so-called “regulators”, they are used on straps to adjust the length, a rectangle with a crossbar). And glue tape (bonding web).
  • Adhesive tape, needle, safety pins, scissors, glue (Moment Crystal), hot glue, thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).
