★ SKILL LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE (if you use thick yarn) and ADVANCED (if you use thin yarn)

★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :

  • Yarn: I use thin «Slonim» yarn (cotton+acrylic, 100g ~ 1500m). Colors: grey to crochet a koala; green and yellow to crochet an eucalyptus. A floss of 1-2 threads is also suitable; you need a thin thread, as thin as possible. Also for the ears and chest you need a little white Alize Softy yarn.

NOTE: this pattern can also be used for crocheting toys from thicker yarn, so if it is difficult for you to crochet using thin yarn, try to crochet using thicker yarn first.
To decorate the face: black (embroider the nose, eyebrows), white (embroider a semicircle beside the eyes, mouth), pink (embroider cheeks).

  • Hook №0.7 (0.7mm) (it is extremely difficult to crochet from thin yarn, try different hook numbers, perhaps it will be more convenient for you to crochet using thinner or thicker hook: №0.6-0.9)
  • Fiberfill (to stuff)
  • Glue eyes (2mm)
  • Walnut shell, 8 magnets, some decors (to decorate the shells from the inside), ribbon.
  • Needle, safety pins, scissors, glue (Moment Crystal), hot glue (to glue the magnets), thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).

★ SKILLS REQUIRED:

You must have basic crochet skills (with crocheting micro toys) - this pattern is not so easy so please ask me if you will have some questions/difficulties.
