Materials:
Yarn: FireFlyFibreArts Bulky yarn, 80/20 superwash merino/nylon, 115g, 140 yards held double to equal a chunky yarn. Any colour can be used, I used Brick for mine.

Needles: 8mm 16” circular, 8mm dpns.
Notions: darning needle, polyfill, stitch marker (optional).
You will also need a small stick or cinnamon stick for the stem.

You can use any chunky yarn as gauge isn’t important for this simple project. It can be any size you like.
