Quick Little Junimo

Materials:
Hook whatever size works with your yarn (I used 3.75 mm)
Color yarn (I used red heart)
Black yarn
Pipe cleaner (cut into three pieces)
Safety eyes (10 mm)
Pink embroidery thread
Yarn needle (curved works well)

Note: I chose not to add legs to my Junimo but you could easily add them by making two more “arms”.
