(The idea of this project is to use up scraps for something fun, so the amounts used are very small. When making several at a time, I’ve found that I can get 4 or 5 guardians out of a 5oz skein of my main color.)

 -¼ skein color A (main color)
-Small amount of color B (secondary color)
-Small amount of color C (accent color)
-F (3.75mm) crochet hook
-Stitch marker 
-Scissors 
-Darning or embroidery needle
-Stuffing (Poly-fil or yarn ends)
-1pair 12mm safety eyes 
-Pins

Guardians are inspired by medieval chimerae, and their individual features can be used interchangeably with one another to create various whimsical hybrids. Each creature carries with it its own specific attributes, and combining them only heightens their power.
