★ SKILL LEVEL: ADVANCED

★ MATERIALS AND TOOLS :

  • Yarn: You can use any yarn that is comfortable and/or suitable for you. If it is difficult for you to crochet using thin yarn, try to crochet using thicker yarn first. I used: «Slonim» bobbin yarn in 2 threads (cotton+acrylic, 100g ~ 808m, near 42-45sc in 4 inches). Also suitable yarns Gamma «Iris» (cotton, 10g ~ 82m) or YarnArt Iris (cotton, 20g ~ 138m) or floss in 4 threads, beige color. You will also need some light brown thread (hooves, base of horns) and dark brown thread (horns), you can use «Slonim» bobbin yarn in 1 thread (cotton+acrylic, 100g ~ 1616m, near 60-65sc in 4 inches) or floss in 2 threads. You will also need white thread of thin kid mohair (such as Alize Kid Royal) to crochet the chest; white thread (floss) embroider a semicircle beside the eyes and black thread (floss) embroider eyebrows.
  • Main hook №0.9 (0.9mm), for horns hook №0.65 (0.65mm)
  • Fiberfill (to stuff)
  • Glue eyes (3mm)
  • Cotter pins and joint disks: I used for the legs the disks 12mm in diameter (4pcs), T-head cotter pin 1.6х16mm (2pcs), on such a small size you can do joint without washers.
  • Wire 0.6mm thick. For the arms 1pc 17cm long, for the neck 1pc 12cm long.
  • For two horns you need: wire 0.6mm thick, 4pcs ~7cm each, 2pcs ~7.5cm each, 2pcs ~5cm each.
  • Decor chain with Christmas balls: 1pc of thin chain 18cm long, 2 large pearl beads Ø12mm (red and green), 3 small pearl beads Ø6mm (red, green, yellow, with a hole wide enough for a chain to pass through), from metal fittings you will need 2 rosettes (caps), 2 pins.
  • Needle, white sewing thread, safety pins, scissors, adhesive tape, hot glue, glue (Moment Crystal), thin stick (for the convenience of stuffing small parts).

★ SKILLS REQUIRED:
